[quote]try changing your color settings from 32 to 16 bit. i had CTD every turn when playing on 32 bit mode, but never on 16 bit.[/quote] My settings already were at 16.

[quote]Wittman, hate to say this, but the problem is probably at your end. If CTDs were so bad, the entire forum would already be up in arms. There was a survey ship crash bug introduced in GCX but the fix was put out shortly. [/quote] That's possibly true although I have no idea what it could be on my end. Like I said, I play tons of games and never had CTDs this bad. I was playing last night and when the Torian's invaded one of my planets, CTD. :sniff!: :sniff!:

Great game and all but it's buggy as all get out. Of all the games I have ever played, this one, as far as playability is horrid. CTDs are rampant. Unless the developers can make a patch that fixes this stuff, looks like all I have is a $40 beer coaster. >:(

The only patch I see on the website is the 1.05 which I downloaded. Where is 1.1 or is that the expansion?

Great game except for bugs in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

My compliments to Stardock for creating the game I expected MOO3 to be. Great design and interface. I am very excited about playing it. My gripe is being able to play. After having problems installing (it took almost 10 minutes for the installer to kick in when I inserted the disc. Running it from the start menu only hung the machine) I just started getting addicted to the game when I am plauged by constant CTDs. I know this forum has dealt with this issue ad nauseum but it really ruins

[quote][/quote] Thanks for the tip. I did the same thing and just let it sit for awhile and lo and behold the install screen popped up and I was good to go. Never had a game take so long like that so I naturally thought something was wrong. Now looking forward to the game! Thanks to everyone for their input! :) Cheers

I have a NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 2000 64 MB RAM which according to the recommended requirements, far exceeds what the game requires. This is the first time since I installed XP that I ever had a game hang up in the install screen so I don't know if its an XP issue or the game. Once I click on 'Install' it just sits there then I get the Not Responding message. Since I can't return the game at Best Buy due to thier store policy I'm hoping I didn't buy a $40 beer can coaster. :sniff!:

Installation hangup in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

When I try and install GV, all the program does is hang and at the install screen and eventually I get the Not Responding message. I've tried running it from the Run menu and it hangs there as well. I've also tried installing it from my read/burner drive and it hangs at the installation screen. Anyone have any similar problems and could you share your solutions? I would appreciate any help. I thought it was the CD at first but when I exchanged it, I still have the same problem.
