I had one of the first IBM PCs, in November 1981, if I recall correctly. It only had one floppy drive and 64K memory. I upgraded the memory to 128K and added a second floppy drive.

I believe this has been fixed (i.e. it was a bug) in the latest update to the Preview version on Steam.
So far it has stuck through 2 restarts and one power off/power on. If it comes back I'll post here. Again, thanks for your help.
I rebooted with the external monitor attached to watch what happened with the icon size during boot, and now they are coming up sized correctly ... i.e. the problem has at least temporarily gone away. I have no idea why booting with the monitor not attached and then attaching it would fix things. Finding that hard to believe, I rebooted yet again, and the icons stayed the correct size. So I hope the problem is now fixed and was just some weirdness with Windows 11. I will post he
1) Yes, there is a difference. If I boot with the monitor unattached, and then plug it in, everything (fences and widgets) moves to it, and the icons look ok: 2) Yes, when unattached the laptop is at 125% (both unattached and attached). 3) Yes, all my fences and icons are on the primary monitor. 4) On boot there's some flickering of the icons, but I'll have to pay
Here are some more screenshots showing my display settings. The first one is my laptop monitor, showing that I have two displays, with the desktop extended across them, the laptop is NOT my main display, and is scaled at 125%. The second is my external monitor, which is set as the main display, 100% scaling, with the Fences. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/3/
I uninstalled Fences 6, rebooted, reinstalled the Fences 6.42 Beta, rebooted, and the problem came back. I once again changed the display settings on my laptop monitor to 100% scaling, and the icons on the external monitor shrank and separated correctly. I tried rebooting and then changing the laptop back to 125%, and the problem came back. I do now have a FencesVersion.txt file in the Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Fences folder, and its contents show 6.4.2.2. I'll see
Ok, the file should be uploaded.
[quote who="Dr W - Fences Support" reply="10" id="3989824"] Hmm. I'm not certain this will give the information we need but it may, can you check the box for Enable Advanced Logging, reboot and then move the groups around? Will have to let the team know to see if there's more debug information we can add. [/quote] I checked that box, rebooted, and moved my fences from the secondary monitor to the laptop, and then back again. Is there a log file someplace I should
[quote who="Dr W - Fences Support" reply="11" id="3989825"] Also curious how it all behaves if you uncheck the box "Enable Fences" at the very bottom of the welcome panel, and enable auto arrange on the desktop [/quote] If I uncheck Enable Fences the icons remain at their larger size but are no longer overlapping. Turning on Auto Arrange Leaves them that way.
I applied the Fix Desktop Icon Spacing, logged out and then back in, and the icons shrank and appeared as they should. However, after rebooting, they are back to the larger, overlapping icons, so that isn't a permanent fix.
I first saw this problem on Fences 6.40. Still seeing it after installing 6.42. If I change the scaling on my laptop (which is NOT where the Fences are) from 125% to 100%, the icons in the fences on the other monitor shrink and look like this: And interestingly, during boot, if I watch closely I can see the icons first come up looking like that, and then quickly chan
I am on Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200.8037, with Fences 6.42. I have my laptop monitor at 2560x1600 set at scale 125%. My secondary monitor (the main display) is 2560x1440 at 100% scaling. When my Fences are on the laptop display they look normal, like this: When they are on my secondary monitor the icons and text are larger and overlap the text of other icon
I like that Fire Gate!

I'm setting up a new laptop (posting this from my old one), and when I try to login to forums.galciv4.com from it tells me that my account is not validated. It asks me for an email address to send a validation email to, but after I enter my email address no email is sent (tried multiple times, waited overnight). I've tried both Firefox and Brave with the same result, both of which allow me to login on my old laptop. I sent an email to <a href="mailto:support@stardo

Updated. The original Win an Immense Size Game seems to have been renamed Win a Gigantic Size Game. Moved to the working list.
Do you have your user data folder in One Drive? That can cause problems. Where is GalCiv4 installed? If I recall correctly, installing Steam and Steam games in a folder outside of Program Files can avoid some problems. For example, I have a separate C:\Games folder where I store all my games.
Have you tried doing a verify files in Steam? If one or more of your files have become corrupted that can help. Although it's normal for a verify to report 3 or 4 files to reload, since they are customized on startup.

While I would certainly buy the game if and when you do an EA, due to my travel schedule I cannot guarantee that I could be as active during the beta as I have been in past Stardock games.
If there were a command to add a Spores of Yggdrasil charge to your vault you could use it to create a Class 5 planet out of a dead planet. Not sure there is, though. Another approach would be to grab the mod out of Draver's bundle of mods that allows you to create your own Spores of Yggdrasil through a planetary project, and use that.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I got it downloaded and verified it's the right file. New ringtone, here I come!
A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music Used to make me smile And I went down to the Stardock store Where I'd heard the music years before But the Frog there said the music wouldn't play GC2 for OS2 had a theme that played when you completed researching a tech that made me very happy whenever I heard it, and I was wondering if anyone knew if the music, and specifically that theme, was available anywhere. I'd kind of like to turn it into a per
[quote who="RAUBRY" reply="22" id="3965884"] Which version of Galactic Civilization started with a blond female news caster who's hair would change to black, depending upon your playstyle? [/quote] I remember that. I think it was the OS/2 version. IIRC, when you got really evil she also got an eye-patch.
