Reply to Did you know ssds lose data if left without power? in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

These specs are specifically for NAND based drives. See the presentation. It was based on a 2012 JEDEC meeting if I'm reading correctly, and lots of people still use SSDs that old. Point remains, they're just the minimum specs and testing requirements. Nothing says your drive will only last that long. The endurance testing I've seen done by third parties showed the manufacturer ratings to be extremely conservative in most cases.

Reply to Did you know ssds lose data if left without power? in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Worth pointing out that those figures are just the JEDEC requirements for minimum retention, not backed by real-world testing of any particular drive. The enterprise specs are lower because they are intended to run continuously and at higher temperatures, and have an order of magnitude lower threshold for acceptable error rate. Businesses will have much bigger concerns if they're out of power for weeks. In the worst case, the cost of shipping the servers to a location with

Reply to Creating Custom Stats - How do we add Stats to Enumeration? in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

The point of the schema is to restrict the XML files to only those options the game implements in code. Modifying the correct types in the core schemas would (if anything) just let it get past validation, but it would still not work.

Reply to Game only runs once? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

If the game is crashing on trying to start a map after the first session ran fine, check your debug.err file and try backing up and clearing the contents of My Documents/My Games/GalCiv3. There may be some corrupt user data there. Verifying on Steam won't remove those files since they are produced by running the game, not installed with it. Note that if bad ship design or custom race files come back and the game still crashes after clearing that folder, you may also need to disabl

Back up anything you may want to keep (saves, etc.) and clear out the My Documents\My Games\GalCiv3. Verifying in Steam won't touch that stuff since it is user data, not installed as part of the game. The debug.err file in that folder may indicate exactly what is causing it to fail (or at least hint at it), if you check it after a crash.

Reply to Modding - Do "values" have to be integers in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

[quote]I'm wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to use something other than an integer where you are supposed to put the modifier value. [/quote] Only whatever value type is in the schema. They are just values, there is no interpreter to make sense of other input that the game isn't built to understand. However there is some flexibility in terms of the different value types allowed.

Reply to Resolution and DPI issues in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

What desktop resolution are you running? GC3 doesn't do true exclusive fullscreen. If you have fullscreen enabled, the game will render at the requested resolution and scale it up to a borderless window covering your entire desktop. So it shouldn't overscan on a big screen unless your desktop is already doing it (that's generally resolved by fiddling with the screen's zoom settings to get a proper 1:1 pixel ratio and using HDMI if you're not).
