1.61 Game freeze at windows 8.1 by zooming in

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi

a friend of mine has the problem that the game always freezes after he zoomed in on the galaxy map. He is using windows 8.1 and me and he others windows 7 so i think thats the problem somehow. 

 

Is something like this known ? or any idea what else could be the reason for freez.

Its a graphics memory issue (at least it was for me)  Easy fix:

File:  MapSizeDefs.xml

Change: <MinCameraZoom>100.0</MinCameraZoom>  to  <MinCameraZoom>2900.0</MinCameraZoom>

I had lots of crashes before i made this change.  You need to do it each map size.  2900 will limit you to icons only
