Some graphics looks bad on high res in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Well I just started to play the game in 1200x1024 resolution with x4 AA using NVIDIA 6800GTX card and latest drivers. And I have to say that some graphics images used in cut sceens look bad - like low res images "blown" to high resolution (you get simular efect if you try to stretch 640x480 .BMP to be background in 1600x1200 mode in Windows. Example: first anomaly detection screen, the engine of starship looks to "pixelized" or better

Autodetect anomalies bug in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Well after ship can not detect any more anomalies it gives a message - that's cool addition. However if later you double click on ship and try to make it go again while still no anomalies around the checkboxs just disapear and no message given. After that if you close the ship commands dialog you get "can't see any anomalies" messages as many time as you clicked on "autosurvay" button earlie - this is bug. Btw: a bit unrelate

Reply to Absent Multiple Player Feature A Game Killer? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Very old discussion. No it's not "game killer" I as many users preffer SP mode. Many other users preffer MP mode , it's ok , so they will not buy the game. Stardock compared work and money on MP mode versus a espected amount of users that will not buy without it and made a descission. Good or bad we will see , I think it's well can't say "good" but defenatly not catastrofic choice.

Flagship in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

I hope it's not too late But I was thinking about "flagship" ship . As far as I know it does nothing in current game just a name on the first ship you have. I was thinking of another idea - to be able to "assign" flagship. Such ship would have combat bonuses , don't take fleet points and destruction of it would lower morale for some number

WARNING: uninstall before upgrade !!! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I noticed that you have to uninstall Beta3 before upgrading to Beta4 after that many of the bugs I reported just stoped to happen. I believe the issue related to the people using TotalGaming (like me) and happens because changed program file - before game was installed into "TotalGaming.net" folder now it installs into "TotalGaming" folder. So using old shortcut run some strange mixed bread <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2

Beta4: minimap issue in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

But if I enable ship view (ship button above minimap) on Minimap it start show not only ships but "missing" areas too. And another thing , I am not 100% sure so I am not making separate thread but it seems like minimap positions are off from real positions near the bord

Beta4: Problems in ship design in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Well I am not sure if it's a bug software or UI design bug but I have a lot of problems removing things in ship design vew when creating new design . Mostly it's a problems with selecting things I wish to remove on ship view but sometimes the "Remove" button just wan't work at all.

Beta4: Ships stays "automatic" when end waypoint reached in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Well it's a bit hard to explain , but let me give an example: 1. I send (rightclick on star map) Colony Ship toward some point on the map. 2.In GalCiv1 and Beta3 that ship aftter reaching the destination would become "available" (centered on it waiting for next command and such). 3.But in Beta 4 it just "sits" there "busy" so there is no easy way to find it and to know that it reached destination <img src="http://images
