Reply to QUICKSTART crashes at startup in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Update: Smart Exception did not come up with a report and I found nothing in C:\ But when I looked closer I found that there actually was a report. I guess this changed with the last update to SmartException? However I send the report to '[email protected]'. The gernerated subject is 'GALCIV2 - 0x4ab6d4'. This is not of high priority, but I guess you are interested in this kind of stuff, right?. Many thanks in advance.

Invisible ship bug fix does not work in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

+ Fixed bug where ships built in an off-screen port that had a rally point assign would be invisible next to the planet until they were selected or moved. This bug still appears in my games. When I click on the position where the ship should be it appears. Before not. Not a big deal but I

Hi syneris, your walktrhough works great woth 1.1Beta2. Many thanks. I didn't realize that you have so many cash before. The trick is to buy everything and rush for the Drengins. No need to fight the DL The second thing which was very valuable in your walkthrough is the trick to upgrade colony ships to transports. You don't have to wait for the technology and still ha

Reply to Physical Memory Dump in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

But please only the first sections with all the information about you PC and the game, and the last couple of lines. Furthermore you should download SmartExceptions from the download area and start it before the game starts. It creates an additional file in the root directory of your HDD, i.e. C:\ . The file ends with .CRA. Post this file, too. (I don't know if it works when you get a blue screen from Windows, but try it.)

e.g. It's very hard to move a couple of ships manually in GC2. - You can't use the fleet function any more. It's now used for combat and limitated by logistics. - You always have to press find to get to the next ship to move. - It's very hard to see which ship is active. The small blue circle is often unvisible. - In some areas you can't see the grid lines, especially in unexplored areas. e.g. the Turn button is green. When I click on it it changes to Skip. The

B: Yes, Auto-survey is not working very well. After a reload the ships ignore most of the anomalies ( not all of them, I could not find a schema yet :notsure: ) The only solution I foud is, I never reload unless the game crashed. C: Another bug which is annoying is the calculation of the remaining research time. It uses the free research of the last month, not of the current month to calculate the remaining time. Thus you can never trust it. Overall it is still the best game ev

President, Prime Minister, Chancellor ... That's all fine with me. It depends on the constitution what is the most powerful or honourable position. The name of the position is not very important. Darth Griffin is already Prime Minister. Though there is no need to change anything.

@ Ellis82 Driver Date: 9/23/2003 04:42:04 Update your video drivers. GC2 uses a new feature of Direct X which is not supported by old drivers. This is mentioned in the readme, this forum and on many other places as well. And I bet you got a message "please update your video drivers" when you firs

@ HEEGZ Both problems did already exist in the official 1.0X version. They are not related to the beta. The QICKSTAT option is described in the command line option area of the wiki. It starts directly a game with the last options. It's similar to a program start and Ctrl+N. I can live without it but it guess Stardock is interested in this kind of bugs. The other problem with the very long start time is more of a headache.<b

I don't know why so many people are so crazy about those monarchies. I'm very happy that I live in a republic :p In fact I condemn the aristocratic scum who think they are something special. In truth they are nothing but bloodsuckers. Darth Griffin is Prime Minister and that's what I really esteem :D :D :D

I updated on Version v1.1 BETA-2A but both problems still exist. When I start GC2 this is what I see for minutes in the Taks Manager: Image Name CPU Mem Usage GalCiv2.exe 00 7.268K i.e. no change in CPU usage, it stays at 0% and memory usage slowly increases from 7.268k to 7.620K in minutes.

I have got two problems. A gerneral problem on this machine is that the game takes very loooooong to start. It's more than 5 minutes On a very similar computer with the same main board (both Intel onboard 82865G grafics) and the same drivers (newest available via Intel) but much lower specs (only 512MB RAM, 2.8 GHz CPU and a smaller H

You can create and change all kind of content like parties, events, ships, technologies etc. Though you need additional tools for the grafics. I don't have a link which works currently. NeoTech http://neotechgaming.com/ should have it but they have trouble with their download area. Give them some time to fix it. I hope it will be available there next week :notsure:

I can't find it either. I would have expected it on NeoTech but they seem to have some trouble http://www.neotechgaming.com/viewtopic.php?t=2014 Give them some time and try it again in the download area of NeoTech next week.
