Did you guys hear that Macs are switching to use Intel processors? That should make Virtual PC a lot faster, so it might become more feasible to play games on it. I don't think that it will make it much easier to port games from the PC though.
My grandfather, my mother's father, died this past Saturday from acute respitory failure. He had emphysema, and we'd known for months that he could have died at any time. Even so, I wasn't expecting him to die last weekend. I'd been planning on going over to their house on Sunday as I normally do, to bring him and my grandmother Holy Communion. He died around 12:3

As soon as you start believing that you are stuck and that you can't do anything to better your situation, you ARE stuck. There are always people out there willing to help. If you don't know any, you obviously have access to a computer and an internet connection, and I'm willing to bet that you have access to a yellow pages. No one is going to show up at your doorstep one day and hand you an instruction manual for life. Go out there and make it happ
When rhe cat's away, the mice do play. Perhaps beta development slowed down when Brad was out of town. A more "relaxed" environment at Stardock? We don't slack off because Brad isn't here. Do you think that Brad sits here and watches us code to make sure that we're working hard enough? Secondly, this beta is NOT for the purpose
when the cats away the mice do play That is not what happened and I resent the implication that we would slack off because Brad was not in town.
I'm glad it's working for you now. I'll bet you like the new card.
If you want to send me the save game file from your Galactic Civilizations\Data\SavedGames folder, I'll see if I can reproduce it here and see why it isn't ending. [email protected]

I am sorry that no one responded to your original e-mail, but I believe that [email protected] isn't checked as often as [email protected] . You should receive a response soon if you've e-mailed [email protected] since then. We have no control over which distributers Strategy First partners with to distribute the game in other countries and this is not the fi

That actually shouldn't work anymore if you have the latest version for planetary random events. As for the others, there never was a way to increase the frequency of random events.
I agree that the evilness of the darkside was downplayed a lot, but I suppose that they were trying to keep it relatively clean so that parents wouldn't feel bad about taking their kids to see a PG-13 movie. It makes more sense to me now why Anakin would turn to the dark side. Lucas obviously took the approach of "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." And apparently he doesn't believe in redemption, because once he starts down the
It's just a debug key. We should probably have the debug keys turned off by default, so I'll add that to the list for the next beta.
I'm not sure what is the deal with the Build Nothing option not working. I'll have it fixed before the next beta.
Well, Stardock Central supports resume downloading so you could start it at night before you go to bed and even if something goes wrong, you'll be able to pick up later on.
We are probably going to be tweaking a lot of the numbers in terms of costs of techs, ship components, etc, and population growth, etc. So don't assume that the start of Gal Civ 2 is going to play slower than in GC1/AP. Also, regarding your statement that humans will always be better than computers at empire building, that's not necessarily the case. It's still a math problem, and computers are great at solving math problems. Remember how everyone complained a
Great.
Djiceman, I can't make any suggestions without seeing your debug.err file and a smart exception report. Please read the post entitled How to Submit Bug Reports
You could read the past journals. We have some screenshots there.
In GC2, the turns are equal to 1 week, instead of 1 month as they were in GC1/AP.
Well my reasoning was that you couldn't see alien ships under the FOW, so you shouldn't be able to see the starbases under them either unless you had a sensor drone or something like that in the area.
Speed dating is a rather cool concept. It was invented for people who are serious about meeting people but they don't have a lot of time or inclination to go bar hopping or clubbing. The events take place at a restaurant or club, and the hosts match you up with 8 other people for 8 minutes (it varies depending on who is running it, but this is the second time I've g
Yeah, you shouldn't have any video card related problems. You may want to install SmartException from https://www.stardock.com/products/smartexception before the next beta so that you'll be able to send in crash reports.

I haven't had a problem with my Nvidia laptop card. What version is it? Mine is the GeForce FX Go5200. I did see that you even have 128 MB of VRAM, so I don't think that you'll have a problem running it on your laptop.
It may have been unrelated. But I'm fairly certain that you shouldn't have problems colonizing when the second beta comes out.
The best thing about working on Gal Civ 2 is that this time around, I have the advantage of more experience coding computer games. I think that any coder will agree with me that (in general) the more code that you write, the better code you write. You learn how to do things better, faster, and cleaner. Besides working on screens this week, I've fixed so
