i'm having the same problem (intel extreme 2 chipset) - try going to hardware cursor, turning autosave off, using your touchpad (ie not an external usb mouse), and playing small galaxies. hopefully, you'll get a game or so, while it's being investigated. don't forget to save! lemme know if it helps at all.
makes my recent fumbles at a beta report seem even sillier
QUACK! IZ DAT U QUACK! COME TO ME ARMS FLUFFY DUCKY!
sorry, this is late, but i was having troubles with my ancient intel extreme II grafix driver. grafix: constant crashes on the intel extreme 2 integrated graphics (which worked fine with GC2 apart from some tiny glitches). i've reported this already, but just in case it's still a prob - what made the crashes go from every turn to every 5-10 turns was: turning the frame throttle off, downloading latest iteration of directx9c, turning auto-save off. the crashes 'seemed' to be something to
MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DAT FEEL'S BETTER
merge minor races with galactic resources. give the % some personality
to clear up the patch issue - SR2 1.3 US/English is prefectly playable and practically bug-free. the last russian patch (1.5 or 1.6 or somesuch)has not been translated, but it really only had some minor tweaks, fixed a couple of tiny bugs, and a couple more missions. so don't let some patch frenzy stop you from buying this excellent game. even my dad loved it.
I hope it gets updates. the russian development team has disbanded, unfortunately - there is a more recent russian patch, but no-one seems to want to translate it
this is seriously one of the best games i've ever played. congrats Stardock on picking up this excellent title for TotalGaming.
gurgle gurgle steaaaaaaaaaam ta da! one dark columbian machiato for the Goddess from GALACTIC CIVILIZATIONS 2: DARK COLUMBIAN
Dominions 4?
Fantasy General 2?
beat me to it cauldyth
looking forward to it ALL! ps that 1.31 AI is really busting me mini-balls
personally, i'd like to see the minors be of more strategic value, so that there is a reason outside of colour and conquest to them being kept around. the only idea I have, and it's a simple one, is that a minor can only be allied to one major (be a dominion say) and that minor during the course of the dominionship provides the major with a %bonus eg research, morale, trade etc. These % bonuses might give the minors more character definition as well. <img src="http://images.stardock.co
very happy to hear about it i had been wondering whether the trade goods could provide this 'exclusive' trait, but like what i see here
how 'bout Morale Good/Evil Influence Good/Evil PQ Good Economic Neutral Weapons Evil M Prod Evil S Prod Good Espionage Neutral Interest Neutral Loyalty Good/Evil Research Neutral Diplomacy Good or some such......
i reckon neutral, by nature, has less influence than either good or evil. is there a social production bonus? am very interested in your proj btw
on/off button might be good, so that inexperienced players don't screan 'that's not fair' - but i think experienced players would like it. perhaps some events could be back-story based? (drengin/torian, yor/iconian) or alignment based conflicts (good vs evil with neutrals changing sides as the wind blows)
the video announcing the first medium ship freezes (on my crappy intel extreme 2). only happened since 1.3 beta
ZIP, ZAP, ZING MWHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
