No Planet, Ship, Anamoly Graphics

June 22, 2006 10:11:45 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Posted this in another thread but after closer inspection, seems our problems were not the same after all. Start up a game, everything goes fine, get to the game screen, and No Planet, No Ship, and no Anamoly Graphics, it does show icons though? Updated the Video Card Graphics Display Info Display device 1: Device Name: \\.\DISPLAY1 Card Name: Radeon X1300 Series Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.

Please check your Tactical Map Zoom Level setting in the Options menu. It sounds like it is turned down so that the map is always in tactical/icon mode.

I don't know whether I should be over joyed or just flat out embarrased! lol

Yes, that was exactly the issue....I spent 2 hours updating everything (which I suppose is a good thing! lol) Then in utter frusteration at my fancy new PC with the "uber" graphics card, pulled out my old 2400 Athlon E-machines to see if it would run there....(still had an older version loaded up on that machine) And low and behold, It all worked! I was cussing about the fact $399PC > $2000PC

So I came here to download the updates and to my suprise/joy/embarrsment, Eureka! lol...

Anyways, once again the crew at Stardock comes through for me, thank you so much!

Don/t feel to ba Snowpeople1, I was goofing around with the tactical slider and did the same thing. But I was lucky in that I did it during a game and was able to realise what I had done quuickly. But when one of the stardock personal said to use 1 lvl of anti-alising to correct the video choppy glitch made my games graphics slide all the way over to the right of the screen I almost cried as I thought I had to delete and reinstall everything since I could not even see the buttons to re-pick options. Luckly after an hour of randomly hitting places on the screen I was able to get everything back to normal.
