Beta 4 Opt In Issues

from GalCiv3 Forums

I am running Beta 4 with Opt In Selected on Win7 x64.

All of my drivers are updated.

I have started over half a dozen games so far and I was unable to get far in any of them.

Either the game goes into a forever waiting state while it is the computers turn or I ended up quitting after all of my planets are taken over by Influence.

It is usually a race to see which one happens first.

In each of these games I played as Human and created a Huge galaxy. I tried to change as little as possible when attempting to isolate the issues.

I tried to create a support ticket and upload a saved game but I got an error while uploading the file and gave up and went and made dinner.

Make sure you are compressing your files (zipping) them or they will be too large.

Please explain. We're expected to compress (zip) our save game files?

Yes, you are expected to compress any files that you share with Stardock.  You can follow the steps below to do this....

(If you have winzip or another compression software program on your computer)

Simply open said program and follow instructions that are included with that program.

(Windows 7)

Open file folder containing the folder with your saved games (only those you are sending).

Right click on that folder.

Choose the option to "send to"

Click on "Compressed zipped folder"

This will create a new folder in the same directory with the same name excepted compressed.
