they arent "pushing" a bunch of products, this is the sw to patch all the stuff they make. And the reason they dont put As Many stand-alone patches on the website is, iirc, cause its a pain and this isnt. Would you rather the acted like othre companies and left popular games unpatched for 6 months when hundreds of people are bitching aobut hundreds of bugs? *cough* bethesda *cough* morrowind *cough*. i know its been said like 50 times before, just wanted to get my .02$$ in ~

if you're under -500 production stops, and you'll make alot more money to "get out of debt". if you're adjusting the slider when you have -500 bc then yeah you wont see a difference ~SDC~
Two Bugs: Game had been running for about 6 hours and once i got terror star, started to make one. Well when I made the first part the starbase vanished. it was still "there" but there was no graphic for it and you couldnt click on it, had to put another ship there to select it. reloaded the game it worked ok. but still shouldnt have happened ya? ;) second, defeated the carinoids by using said terror star (once it was visible) to destroy all three of their star systems. iirc got the animati
Tactical combat ala quake on a starbase type lvl with some reaper bots, omg that would so rock ~SDC~
has ANYONE seen it say anything other that "we are falling behind" or "we're doing ok" ??? Cause thats all I've seen. ~SDC~
Maybe if you posted a pic of your sister ;) lol ~SDC~
I'm guessing the smartexception is supposed to submit the data in it but it never does, maybe that prog needs a patch too? ;) anyway i'll just paste its contents here, maybe you guys can figure of it what borks the game : :begin paste: Stardock SmartException Logging Information ------------------------------------------- OS Version : Windows 2000 Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 Application Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION Crash Addr: 005A398
Game CRASHES CONSISTANTLY when you: Destroy all your colonies. Hit Turn. Game Crashes. Repeatable. ~SDC~
its a duron 800, it runs fine 90% of the time, just now and again a turn with take FOREVER. The sound with winamp does like this: whenever galciv goes to play a sound it plays more of the music. So if you're clicking lots of things it sounds like the music is playing, but if you stop it stops. click somehting that minght make a *bling* or whatevre menu sound effect, and another half second of sound plays. Used to work fine with like 1.01 somehting, but with latest patch just Cannot use winamp
Cannot play galciv and winamp in the background at the same time. sounds are choppy, sounds like galciv whoring the sound buffer or something and not letting winamp use it properly? Works fine in win2k, not win98. ALso on 98se box , turns take forever. Is there something in the game that should be screwing up in 98se and not 2k?? very frustrating >:( ~SDC~
The draginol random event is hinted to with the "somehting evil is on this planet, the senate advises we destroy it." Hmmmm, destroy colony, get ass served on plate by dragonil 10 turns later....Hmmmmmm ;) ;) So colonoy destruction IS useful at times :) ~SDC~
NOt sure if this has been posted yet but.... ;) How good at tech do you have to be, I mean really. Every time I load up a game, the best it says is "we're doing OK technologically." Or it'll say i've fallen behind. behind who???? No one had any techs that I didnt. Playing technologists, with +50 research bonus, I mean really, i'm getting tech like gangbusters, MUCH more than the AI has, and i'm "Doing ok" ???????? More like "We're kicking ass left and right." A reevaluation of how it
Oh yeah another one, opps. UP resolution passed to end all current wars, yet I was still at war afterwards with a minor race. :notsure: ~SDC~
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet ( how many times have you read that! ;) ) but has anyone else had a gal resourse disappear on them? There was a cluster of them,like 3 in one sector, built starbases on all of them. Come back a little while later and one of them was gone, I had two starbases with resources and a stupid starbase doing nothing sitting there. Unfortunately I dont have a saved gave with the resources there and with one missing. Oh and another thing, this Sm
Except that its really unbalanced and really acts more like a cheat than anything :\ And would you like the AI getting ahold of that? ~SDC~
OK so i finished two games (that i finally registered), score, (game 1)100 + (game 2)116 = (metaverse score) 153 this new age math or are there some %% being flung about? :notsure: ~SDC~
make a colony ship or transport, load it up, and send it to oblivion. Overpopulation seems to be the only real morale killer i've been able to figure out. ~SDC~
The same thing is happening to me. What should smart exception be doing that lets up know its submitting something? The most frustrating thing is that for some reason game crashes on my like 2-5 times an hour.:sniff!: Smart exception pops up but there isnt any log name or anyhting, it doesnt seem to do anything when i hit submit report. Plz can someone say what is the normal behavior of this program? ~SDC~
