Reply to Freeze ups in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

First check if you have the latest version of GCI (1.22.102), AP (1.52b.014). If not install it via Stardock Central. Second does a reinstall help? How much RAM do you have? Do you run under Vista, i heard that in this case there are problems. Mail stardock support, because I don't think that the devs check this forum on a regular basis. There is a debug.err file i think, you can mail that. Or you can use smart exception (get it via SDC). Run it play the game, when it freezes se

Reply to other good galciv forums? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I also answered that question with yes. But I admit I haven't played GC I now for longer time. I prefer GC2. But a 1 month ago a tried a maso game in GC1. Well lets put it that way. Before I cloud do much the Yor blasted me with deathknights. ;) I think this forum is the one for GC 1 but true very few answer. Mayby try some of the forums created by fans like the core or megatron shipyards. Ok they are also mostly GC2 related but you can try.

[quote]By the way, does any of you know make Office 2007 work like a previous edition. I'm thinking like 2002 edition. I'm not a fan of this strange "ribbons" system. I would rather have access to the traditional 'File, Edit, View... etc' system. [/quote] There are whole threads on some forums i stumbled upon about that issue. Search with google there are I think possibilities to change the ribbon design. I don't mind the ribbons. In fact when you get used to them you can

[quote]Quadro and FireGL are Workstation Graphics for mainstream 3D CG apps like Maya, 3D Studio Max, Cinema 4D, XSI, and certain others.

[quote]is as noisy as sin (loud fans) when playing games or music[/quote] That is also a special point when considering a laptop. I hope its not to loud to disturb you. I read a review on a G1S and it said it should be a powerfull Gamingmachine. At least this one has a superb video processor. I thought newer games run on Vista. What Vista version is it? At least GC 2 should run. ;)

[quote]I think those are are still pretty weak video processors though[/quote] Well they do the job for me. GC2 runs at maximum and I can even play Oblivion at pretty high graphics settings. The point with laptops is that not only do the idividual parts count but the whole thing. If the quality is not maintained in every aspect you might not be able to utilise the potential of the video processor. Now TPs are very good in that respect. As with Acer or Sony I never had one

[quote]Think Pads are great laptops, I use one for work. But do they offer models with graphics cards for gaming?[/quote] They do. Mine has a ATI Mob X600 PCIE (128 mb). The new T61p have a nVIDIA Quadro FX 570M with 256MB RAM. The Z61p has a ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 with 256MB. Or other ATI or NVidia cards. That actually changes depending on the offer. Look for the T - Series or Z - Series.

Reply to What's your favorite Star Trek episode? (any series) in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

As a Series I like DS9 best. Because after the 3. Season the episodes build directly upon another. Similar to B5. I have several favorite episodes from all series. Way of the Warrior (DS9), Blance of Terror (Classic), Apocalypse Rising (DS9), In the Pale Moonlight (DS9), Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges (DS9), Tacking into the wind (DS9) come to mind.

I agree with all the above posters: Take your time, flesh out the AI. Since I loved MoM I am also excited about that fantasy strategy game.

Reply to Problem starting Altarian Prophecy in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

With Gold II you mean Galactic Civilizations II: Gold Edition? Because that includes [color="#FFFF00"]GC2:Dread Lords[/color] and its first expansion [color="#FFFF00"]Dark Avatar[/color]. The second expansion which will be released in january is [color="#FFFF00"]Twilight of the Arnor [/color]. As Phaedyme said, Altarian Prophecy is the only expansion for GC I. It is still a very good game but GC II is newer, has more features and gets constantly updated. Hope that clarifies a few thing

Reply to ThinkPad as development machine in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]For the first time ever, my main desktop machine is also a laptop.[/quote] Since 6 years now I use a laptop as my only computer for work and games. Right now I have a Think Pad Z60m. Think Pads are really good and I never had a hardware problem with them. There was once this issue with faulty batteries but mine always worked fine. The one downside laptops have is that you can only uprage the harddisk and the Ram. So Frogboy do you use a T60 or T60p? Since the p version
