If you mean the civlization manager colony list, when you return to the colony list there, it will remain as you left it.
Is it possible there are starbases nearby? There is a starbase module that will slow down enemies. Perhaps this is what is happening?
And also it seemed that the graphics seemed to greatly improved in the combat viewer. I used the example mode and it seemed that there was more variety in the tactical layouts. The example mod does include 10 new fleet formations.
It looks like your /galciv2/screens/ElectionWnd.dxpack file is corrupted. Please try reinstalling the game.
The zip file contains the file/folder structure. Extract the file to your /program files/stardock/totalgaming/galciv2 folder. This will place the file into your /galciv2/gfx/models folder. I will change the wording in the instructions above.

Could more people with this problem please post their debug.err files? We might be able to notice a common denominator.
I have a feeling it is the sphere.x file in galciv2/gfx/models that is causing the problem. If you installed from a CD, please try this: 1. Uninstall the game 2. Reinstall version 1.0 (from the CD) 3. Copy your sphere.x file from galciv2/gfx/models to your desktop 4. Update to version 1.2 5. Copy your sphere.x file from the desktop to galciv2/gfx/models and overwrite the file Does this fix the problem? Does zooming inside of the stars re
Does it matter what race you play as? If you play as someone not terrans, do you still have this problem?
Please open your Options menu and uncheck the "Use Mods" checkbox. Do you still have the problem? Deleting prefs.ini will set your settings to default, but I believe this option is ON by default.
These are actually part of an Example mod, not the base game. You need to select the mod folder for Example mod. Open your Options menu. Make sure the "Use Mods" option is checked. Hit the Change button under "Mods Folder" section Browse to /My Documents/My Games/Galciv2/Example Mode Hit Done Quit the game and restart Then the mod will be enabled.
Please try deleting your prefs.ini file in my documents/my games/galcvi2 folder. This will reset your settings to defaults. If that does not help, please post your debug.err file.
If you do catch it doing something wierd, try to come up with steps to reproduce it if you can. That will help us to find the cause. Thanks.
Does this happen every time a vote window pops up? Please post your debug.err file.
This bug has been addressed in version 1.2. Thank you for reporting it.
Please send your saved game and debug.err file to gc2bugs@stardock.com like was mentioned above. Please also include a link back to this forum thread. Thank you.
Based on what I see above, maybe I just needed to restart the game after deleting the designs? Did I read that correctly? Once you hit the Delete button, that design is removed from the game so it shouldn't pop up again. There is no need to restart the game in order to prevent ships from showing up. Yes, reloading a saved game
Darth Griffin, I'm not sure what you mean by the Delete button not working. I just started a new game and designed a ship, hit the Delete button to delete it. It went away. I then exitted the game and restarted it up again. I started a new game and the ship design was not there. I checked my ships folder and the file wasn't there. The buttons work like this: Obsolete - Removes the ship from the list for the current game. New games will restore the ship to the lis
If you are running McAffee virus scan, please disable it or have it ignore gc2launch.exe. If you are not running McAffee, you should still be able to run the game directly by running galciv2.exe in your \program files\stardock\totalgaming\galciv2 folder.
If you want to get rid of all your ships, make sure you delete them from both of your ship folders: My Documents\My Games\Galciv2\Ships My Documents\My Games\Galciv2\MetaVerse\Ships
Do you have McAffee virus scan? If so, please disable it or have it ignore galciv2.exe. It may be preventing you from running scripts. If you don't, please try running the galciv2.exe file directly from your \program files\stardock\totalgaming\galciv2 folder.
Try turning down your anti-aliasing setting in the Options menu (under Video section). You can also view the tutorials full-screen (with versions later than 1.0x) and that plays them a lot smoother for many people who experienced this same problem.
There is also a folder for ships designed in metaverse games: My Documents/Games/Galciv2/Metaverse/Ships
