Reply to [Bug] Gold Overflow in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="RSharaE" reply="4" id="3521198"] Depends on how their tables are set up, but hopefully they'll be able to easily change them all to int64, which will fix the problem. [/quote] I'd consider it more of a balance issue (provided the income didn't come from a bug to begin with) that you can even accumulate more than 2.1 billion credits. Increasing the size only makes it take (a lot) longer to hit, it doesn't fix the fact that you've got ga

You should be able to download all of those straight from your downloads page on the Stardock store, no need to use Impulse. The legacy serial keys are not portable to Steam. Steam only carries GC2 Ultimate Edition.

Reply to 20150227 Dev Stream News "Disappointing", says one Founder in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

[quote who="hannahb" reply="56" id="3527014"] Of course no one is really going to do this but, you start to see the enormous number of possible configurations that exist. Breaking all the actual movement rules and just configuring the pieces in all possible positions is 64^32(assuming a unique identification of each piece) ... a vast number. [/quote] ...but such an exercise isn't very meaningful in the context of a chess AI. Using illegal board positions would be only d

[quote who="aerez4546" reply="52" id="3526975"] Sorry, but that is horribly... horribly... horribly innacurate. I'm not sure how anybody could possibly believe there are more board positions in chess than atoms in the universe. I'm sure there are more atoms in a single chess piece than there are positions in chess. [/quote] Current estimates place it at somewhere around the number of atoms in 6x10^11 to 6x10^17 metric tons of water, depending on who you ask. Rat

This is the same as it was in prior games. The AI is fully enabled at one of the middling levels. At lower levels, some algorithms are disabled and/or penalties are placed on the AI players. At higher levels, they get bonuses. In GC2 we also had an option to allow the AI additional CPU time, so it could plan further ahead or evaluate more possibilities when making decisions (this was independent of difficulty). Don't assume that just because the AI is fully enabled at 'normal&

[quote]I assume your comment, kryo, that it supports SSL scanning, is a good thing and that it doesn't install a vulnerable root certificate.[/quote] No, it does install its own root cert. Performing a man-in-the-middle attack with fake certificates is the only way that AV suites can scan SSL/TLS encrypted traffic before it hits the browser. They could scan the traffic after it hits the browser with browser extensions, but most don't seem to use that option a

[quote who="Pupetier" reply="5" id="3524755"] Now when you visit a otherwise clean web page that has some infected links nothing happens until you actually click on link. What prevents someone to write malicious code that while pretending that it is needed for rendering actually acts as press on link or just loads something without your input. [/quote] There is nothing that prevents servers from serving malicious scripts or embedded objects today. HTTP2 servers cann

Reply to Can't activate or register the game? See here first! in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

It's likely just Gold that didn't get put up there--the separate packages for DL, DA, and TA are on the downloads site if you have registrations for them. Support should be able to get back to you before much longer with a solution, though (make sure you did at least get the immediate autoreply with your ticket number if you emailed, and don't reply back until you hear from them).

Reply to Why when you invest in Kickstarter, are you not an investor? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote who="Campaigner" reply="9" id="3523445"] The recent articles about Peter Molyneux stated that the extra rewards (pledge awards?) that you get when you donate extra money HAVE to be delivered. [/quote] Might have been talking about Backerkit. They don't charge until the extras ship, if the project is using them. It can be an easy way to get in on rewards without making a real commitment (back for $1 to get access via Backerkit, and pledge there). Though obviously n
