Those drivers still aren't new enough. HP doesn't have the latest drivers yet.

[quote]If you try to get money from a cash poor civ during trading, you get pop-ups after the trade window is closed that claims that the player doesn't have enough money for the trade. So, two issues: the pop-up doesn't show up where you can see it while your are trading, and the information on the pop-up is backwards. [/quote] I've fixed this.

Ryan, do you have any other options for your refresh rate for your screen? 59 Hz is a really odd refresh rate, and 60 Hz or better would probably work better. Also, are you using a docking station or another monitor or anything like that?

Reply to Out of memory on save in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]And if you save a backup copy at the same time you will always have a backup game to revert to, because the attempt to save a game without enough memory will result in the file being deleted.[/quote] That shouldn't happen with the latest beta, as I changed the way that games were saved so that it saves to a temp file first, then moves the AutoSave to the PreviousAutoSave.

[quote]I'm finishing up a game saved under the previous beta, so I can't comment on this beta yet. But, I will confirm shiva7663's report that AutoArchiving isn't working on SDC. I just checked it for my setup and the last archives are for GC2 1.50.128 dated 06/13/2007. The AutoArchive on Application Update box is (and has been) checked. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I'm running Vista Ultimate (x86). [/quote] Hmm, that would make sense; SDC would be trying to put the a

Reply to Big problems with GalCiv II :-( in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]I tried it out and it didn't help. Game crashes as often as before. Maybe it's of interest for you what exactly happens when this bug appears: 1. Some colored flashes suddenly appear for a split second, mostly while scrolling. (This is not always but very often the case.) 2. The game freezes and then the screen goes black for about 5-10 seconds. You can hear a lot of harddisk activity at this time. 3. After this the game reappears and can be played further on. It's not a total

If the save game was started in 1.7 beta 1, you would be unable to submit that game. However, if it was started in 1.7 beta 4, it shouldn't be a bug caused by the game.

Our primary concern with this update was stability and the out of memory issue. If you're hitting the 2 GB mark with your games, I highly recommend turning down the Planet Surface variety option to zero (this will help most if you have the heightmaps module installed). At this point, BoundsChecker is only reporting about 35 K of leaks, and I suspect that most of those are actually false

Reply to Multiple Troop Modules Don't Stack in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hmm...I got the 4000 troops. Was the transport with the 8 modules auto-launched? If so, it wouldn't necessarily launch with the full amount. Also, if the planet it launched from didn't have enough population to support it launching full, it would only launch partially full.

Hmm, well if it happens in both DL and DA, this might not help, but you could try disabling the mixed vertex processing from the Options menu in DA.

Reply to Another string not found in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

There have been some reports of this. Please check your GalCiv2\DarkAvatar\Data\English folder for a file called English.str.tmp, which should be dated 10/1. Delete the English.str and rename English.str.tmp to English.str. If you continue to get the string not found, please send in your debug.err immediately after you see one to [email protected]

It's definitely played in the fleet battle viewer, and it's randomly chosen from the 3 battle songs. When you exit the fleetcombat viewer, we have code that detects that there's no background music playing and so picks another song, based on current conditions, etc. You probably could just move the file. I don't think that it will cause a problem if it can't find it.

jstarz01, did you check your GalCiv2\DarkAvatar\Data\English folder to see if there was an English.str.tmp file that should have replaced English.str? English.str should be dated 10/1 and screens.str should be dated 10/4

If you go to the directory where GalCiv2 is installed, all the music is in the Music or EventMusic folders, and DarkAvatar has its own Music and EventMusic folders as well. If you paste your debug.err here, we can see if Miles is returning any errors.

But you pay for it in extra mouse clicking, honest, Cari, and I suffer from carpal tunnel so its a real hardship, and I DO have to build an extra colonist to make it work, and...and...

Reply to Minor 1.7 Beta(c) Bug, But Otherwise Running Smoothly in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

The string not found is caused by the english.str and screens.str files not getting correctly updated. Check your DarkAvatar\Data\English folder and see if there is an english.str.tmp file with a more recent date than English.str. The dates for English.str and screens.str should be 10/1 and 10/4 respectively.
