CTD when canceling an autocolonize. in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I seem to be the only one getting crashes, if what I see on the forum is any indication. Am I the only one trying everything out? A ship autopiloted to a planet and autocolonized it. I canceled the colonization and got a CTD. ----- SE report ---------------- Stardock SmartException Logging Information ------------------------------------------- OS Version : Windows XP Video Card : Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller Application Excep

CTD on first autosave after reloading an autosaved game. in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

This was on a game I had reloaded from an autosave after a fresh start of GC2. My autosave interval is set at three, so this happened on the third turn after reloading. I don't know if the autosave is involved here or not. I had hit "next" and the autosave window showed, then it crashed. Debug file and SE report have been sent to Scott and Cari. ---- SE report ---------- Stardock SmartException Logging Information ----------------------

That has only been available for about 6 months.. before that my screen and graphic card max resolution was only 1600*1200 . It was about two graphic card drivers ago that it got updated. Sounds like the driver has a bug. Can this particular hardware's capability be changed by a driver? I think not.

Reply to Rethinking cultural influence in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Zippo342, in order to understand influence in GC1 I think you really have to play the game, or at the very least, read the documentation on Stardock's site. Here is a simplification of how it works in GC1: Influence in GC1 is a sector by sector thing. Each planet you have in a sector increases your influence in that sector, and fractionally in adjacent sectors. Influence from a planet is affected by some other factors, such as 1). a solar system ha

but SD has told us that they welcome UI suggestions in this beta. Just don't expect them to happen. Yes, don't "expect" them, but with Stardock there is hope. In GC1 many ideas from the testers were implemented. The biggest most important one, space stations and the constructors it took to build them, came from a sugg

Reply to Sir, mixing those causes an exploBOOM in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

At this level of the game (0.12) it is quite obvious that morale and economy are not in yet. You can set your taxation and spending to 100% and suffer no consequence. The result is that you always have a positive cash flow and never run out of funds. Once Morale and economy get added I expect we will see a big difference. So using those very low PQ planets is not really needed (yet?).

In post #2 Monitor Max Resolution: 1600,1280 Can that be correct? I didn't know there was a screen or display card that could display more than 1200 pixels vertically. The max on my display is 1600*1200.

Reply to Text input boxes in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

On GC1 it does not let you rename a ship via modification. I suspect they tried to solve that problem on GC2, where you can hit the end key and backspace or reposition as you like to change the parts you want to change (which, IMO is better than with GC1). But if you don't hit the end key or home key, I agree with you that it should delete the default text and expect you to enter the entire new text.

Reply to Beta 2: Documentation in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Exactly my point, Martin. In GC1 a ship with 0 attack could not attack, but any ship that attacks it is exposed to some defensive damage. In my mind anyone that builds ships that can be attacked without inflicting at least some retaliatory damage is crazy. It seems to me that something can be done with the different weapons in GC2 that can cause some damage to the attacker. For instance, energy from energy weapons could be reflected back, missiles could be

This one just happened to me, after having reloaded several previous games successfully. BTW, it happens with both the autosave and the previous autosave. Scott and Cari, Would it be of use to you if I send you my saved game?

Ghost ships from long dead races?? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Is it possible the game is not removing the ships of races that have been conquered or have surrendered to another race? I have had some ships I could not click on or display their ownership or type by moving my cursor over them.

Drop down can be stopped before it reaches bottom. in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Try this. Click end turn until a drop down starts dropping down the left side of the screen and double click a colony you own as quickly as you can react to seeing the drop down start. Then, when you click the done button on the planet view, notice where the drop down is. On mine, it is still sitting where I interrupted its descent. Then, on the next turn, it jumps to where it should be.

Reply to GC2 Multiplayer - What do we want to see? in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

I don't care much for MP, so it is very important to me that GC2 works well as a single player game. I think adding MP should always be a secondary consideration to how well the game works in single player mode. If you really think about it, if the game works well only in MP mode, the game isn't realy much. But if a game works real well in single player mode, then playing the same game in MP mode has to be that much better. Another thought. How abo

Reply to ideas in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

on of the other ideas of mine was that stargate technolodgy should be on the tech tree. If you look at the story line preceding game start, the humans got stargate technology from one of the other races. GC1 has a very nice startup moviie cut that tells about it.

CTD after reloading a game and playing some turns - level 0.12 in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

With a fresh start of GC2 I reloaded a game from the autosave file. After enough turns to create a new autosave (I have autosaves set at 3 turns) the game crashed. The autosave window was still on top when the crash happened, but I don't think that is sufficient reason to suspect the autosave code. I have sent the SE report, debug file, and my prefs.ini file to Scott. --------SE report--------- Stardock SmartException Logging Information ---------

Reply to Range behaior ---- Is this as planned or is it strange? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Maybe because the planet isn't your influence zone (on the planet location, the planet has a greater influence than your, but not on surrounding space),but all space arround is in your influence zone Actually, the entire space in the solar system is marked as being in the other race's influence zone, even though I own

Reply to Where are the completions for ships? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Yes. I would also like the ship drop downs to take me to the spaceport screen instead of the planet screen when it is left clicked. Since I don't know what is in the plan, I was assuming that was something that would happen in a future beta level.

Query: How does the defender do damage to the attacker? Seriously, this is a good question. I can see how it is done if the defender has weapons (calculations above done with parties reversed), but what about, say, a transport with no weapons, just good armor, shields, ECM, and other defensive devices?
