GalCiv II: KNOWN issue list

READ THIS IF YOU ARE HAVING A SERIOUS PROBLEM

We don't like getting yelled at by customers who run into some problem any more than you like running into problems.  And we especially get no joy out of people making forum posts that ignore the stickies proclaiming the game is buggy.  Let me put it like this, if the game crashes on you, we consider that unacceptable.  But you can be certain that the game shipped with plenty of testing to make sure it doesn't crash. We've only encountered two crash bugs since release that were due to bugs in our code, the rest have been old drivers, bad drivers, etc. (and people wonder why developers like consoles).

So below is a list of things we've compiled that cause people problems and how to work around them.

Whenever you have some problem, you should look at your debug.err which is created in the game's directory.  This will tell you a lot about your system.  I'm going to put this vaguely in the order of what causes a problem.

#1 Game crashes immediately.

Happens to approximately 2.5% of users.

Most common cause: Running your desktop at below 1024x768 or running your desktop in 16-bit color.  This resolves 99% of users.

#2 Game crashes randomly while playing!

Happens to approximately 2.5% of users.

Most common cause: People with older video drivers. We weren't kidding, you MUST HAVE A RECENT (past year) set of video drivers. If you don't, the game will crash randomly. The readme says this. The stickies say this. We're not kidding around here. You must update your video drivers. Ignoring all that and running into the forum and saying "How could they ship this piece of #$@#!" is not going to update your video driver. You must update the video driver. 

Ex: If you're running the nvidia 81.95 drivers, update them to 81.98 or better.

You also absolutely must be running at 1024x768 or higher. That means both X and Y must be equal to or greater than those two numbers.

Next most common cause: People who have eliminated their page file or have a very small page file.  That's your virtual memory.  Check the debug.err and near the top it will say how much virtual memory you have allocated. If it's less than a gig (heck, nowadays you should have at least 2 gigs for virtual memory) then there's your problem.

Next most common cause: Overheating. The game's 3D engine has no polygon count, no texture limit. It's designed so that even 2 years from now, you can with mods plug in advanced textures. Some modders have already put in ships from popular sci-fi movies that have over a million polygons and it works.  But it comes at a cost: Your video cards are fully utilized. And that can translate to heat.  This mostly affects people who have built their own machines and thrown in a powerful video card.  Version 1.0X (and later) support GPU throttling which should solve this.

Next most common cause: People with AMD64 Dual Core who haven't updated their chipset drivers. GO here, get your drivers, play game, have fun.

#3 Game crashes when I save a ship design.

THIS one is our bug.  Cause: If the player selects a planet from the GNN dialog, clicks on the star port, clicks on the shipyard, builds ship, it will die in 1.0.  Basically the Z-order of the windows gets confused.  Obviously, nobody in the beta/gamma/RCs ever tried to build a ship this indirectly (we just clicked on the shipyard icon).  It was fixed essentially immediately.  You'll need to download the update or not go to the shipyard via all those dialogs.

#4 Game crashes when I invade a planet once in a great while when playing as a custom race.

THIS is also our bug. It only occurs when you play as non-human and only once in a very great while. Fixed in 1.0X. Though at this point, we're talking cases that can be counted on one hand.

#5 You lose your mouse pointer

People with nVidia Geforce 6X series cards (for the most part) have reported this. We have yet to get it in our internal lab and it doesn't seem to be that wide spread but it's a real show stopper.  The solution is to use the hardware mouse cursor which is in the video options area of the game.

OTHER TIPS:

Read the stickies! Post your debug.err.  Or at the very least tell us what kind of computer you have (though debug.err will tell us all about your computer).

#5 found the cause :

Apparently the disappearing mouse cursor so many of us experience is NVIDIA driver bug !!!!

The bug introduce itself in ALL 8x.xx version drivers .

So far 2 temporal solutions exists :

1. Install v7x.xx drivers.

or

2. Right click on desktop, go to "Properties" , "Settings" tab , hit "Advanced" button, "Troubleshot" tab there , then change the
"Hardware acceleration" slider from "Full" one step down.
This will prevent problem from happening but will reduce you Windows and most important gaming performance.
(As a side not if you manage somehow to reach there using keyboard it will restore the cursor even after it disappeared).

More discussions on the issue is here : http://www.techsupportforum.com/other/75719-mouse-pointer-keeps-disappearing.html

hey guys i too am experiencing constant crashes in game- but strangely in the same place in games. for expample today everytime my scout revealed a certain planet the game crashed. its happening again now but i do not know why. to give a more detailed report i need to know how to access the debug.err file or any other files needed to help me resolve this issue. i have all the latest drivers etc and correct moniter settings....so thats all im left with i think. please let me know where to find this file so i can maybe get this damn game working. thanks

I have been trying to place my scores in the Metaverse for over a week (this is the second time in 3 weeks that his has happened)!

When I finish a game, instead of clicking and being asked if I want to enter my score in the Metaverse, I go right back to the Main Menu. I have a dozen "completed" games that are not entered in the Metaverse because of this!

This is NOT a problem with the Serial Number!

When I FIRST brought the problem up in the Metaverse Help sticky, I was ignored. The second time, I was told to send the debug file to the game team (as it was a game funcutonality issue), which I did several days ago. I still have not recieved an answer. Seveal other folks have stated that they have the same problem, but I have yet to hear from the "game team" or see the issue addressed.

PLEASE! Would someone fix or tell me how to fix this problem!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, here it is in black and white:

have been trying to place my scores in the Metaverse for over a week (this is the second time in 3 weeks that his has happened)!

When I finish a game, instead of clicking and being asked if I want to enter my score in the Metaverse, I go right back to the Main Menu. I have a dozen "completed" games that are not entered in the Metaverse because of this!

This is NOT a problem with the Serial Number!

When I FIRST brought the problem up in the Metaverse Help sticky, I was ignored. The second time, I was told to send the debug file to the game team (as it was a game funcutonality issue), which I did several days ago. I still have not recieved an answer. Seveal other folks have stated that they have the same problem, but I have yet to hear from the "game team" or see the issue addressed.

PLEASE! Would someone fix or tell me how to fix this problem!!!!!!!!!

oh thank you for your post i dunno where you get all those messages from, but i just say that:
geforce 8600GT, AMD 3000+, 2560MB RAM, soundblaster 1024live..

No Textures on Ships (for instance the first ship, the colon.ship ist gray and blue, the fighter(starship) ist invisible except the white (chosen) propulsion.

i tried it with the us (engish) version (i am german with german dition) the newest patch and latest video driver.
greetings!! (and thank you for that awesome making of report (the do's and dont's and for the insight - thats why i bought the game today).
dont make me go nuts while waiting for the patch because i was annoyed waiting for the patch concerning the gane x3! (very buggy)

At a quick glance I saw no reference to the game crashiing when you click 'Go To' with nothing selected on the production report displayed at the bedinning of each turn. So there you have it.

I have just finished ny first 4 hr session playing the game. Well I was was dumped out by the shipyard save crash actually but that was good as I was suffering from 'justonemoreturnisis'.

The game crashing IS acceptable nut not forever. Let me put it this I have already instantly restarted the game on more than half a dozen occassions and on finishing came straight here. This is because in my enthusiasm I kept on forgetting not to access the shipyard that way. I mean give us break, I have not got over how cool the metal box is that the game came in. Then I realized that this must be the extension of Master of Orion a personal favourite.

As a programmer I know that it is nigh on impossible to release a perfect product. It was not luck as to why I had a perfect install and got stuck in immediately. No i have Civ IV to thank for that. After updating all my drivers, buying a new video card and having..... no I can not go on, suffice to say it took 2 weeks to get the game to load before the crashes made it unplayable. Sorry folks but this game's a breeze!

#3 Game crashes when you save a ship design

This seems to happen to me when I happen to choose a name of another ship design, weapon, technology, etc that is already in the game. I usually don't know that it is a tech until the game crashes or I find the tech later.

Names I have used and the game has crashed:

Sparrow
Interceptor
Defender

These are just a few of the names that come to mind.

Overall I want to like this game, but it looking like it is just too buggy to play...

What A bunch of SHIT. YOU shipped crap and have the nerve to say that it is our falt for not reading all the hate mail that you have received over YOU screwing over the poor saps that didn't know better than buying YOUR SHIT. Here is a thought make a patch and make it easy to download. If Ford sold cars with only 3 tires,acted like it was the customers falt then made it a major pain in the ass to get the fourth tire they would be shut down. Now quit YOUR whinning and fix YOUR SHITTY game or become a ditch digger.

HeHe nobody noticed the above post yet? Anyways you sound like me when STEAM came out. But Stardock Central is NOTHING like STEAM is far superior to STEAM.

Are you on 56k is that why your having problems dowloading the patch?

Set it to analog modem for 56k or DSL/Kabel for a Cable Modem.

Here's a thought on something in the op:

The game's 3D engine has no polygon count, no texture limit.


Why not make them, but as parameters in the .ini file? They could be set to 0 by default, which would set "no limit", but if a user wanted to change them (on the advice of a devor for some other reason), they could be set to whatever.

To the poster of comment 83: I suggest you apply your username to yourself and quit spamming the forums. SDC is NOT necessary to get the released patches, it is only needed to get the BETA patches. Complex games have bugs. There is not one in existence that does not have bugs. Time to grow up and accept reality, take some time off and live in the real world for a while.

Speaking about the 1024 x 768 res requirement... Most modern games fix the resolution when they start to whatever they require, then when they shut down they restore the monitor to the original resolution. Is it possible to make GC II do this? It would be great.

My 17" CRT's native res is 800 x 600, sure it accepts greater values but everything on the desktop looks tiny and strains these old rheumy eyes Worst still at 1024 x 768 the desktop (and GC II) looks deformed with a bulge in the middle, I have to go up to 1152 x 864 to get things straight (literally), which makes stuff on the desktop look microscopic. Of course I can change resolution every time I play and then back, but IT IS a hassle

I am not able to save a game with my own name - I must use QUICKSAVE or AUTOSAVE or one of the other provided names. Also, it takes for ever to load a saved game. Help?

The game crashes whenever it quick saves, or sometimes randomly. I increased my paging file from 2 Gb to over 3 gigabytes, because I got a message saying I was out of memory once when it crashed. The same thing happened again. I know my systems not shutting down from overheating because I opened up my bios to check my heat and I was well below the 130 degree mark which my processor will run up to. My VGP card is an ATI Radeon 800 XL, probably the best 256 mb card on the market for overall performance, and the cooling fan is huge. I know my system hardware, I build systems for a living and I know that this problem is not hardware. The activity in my task manager under processes for the paging file seemed to have been abruptly interupted. Although it showed to be using about 1.5 Gb of my paging file continuously there was a break or interuption shown as well. This is something I have never seen. I have been playing the new elder scrolls on high detail flawlessly, and that is the most hardware intensive game on the market, hands down. Please let me know what could be causing this, and please don't say I need to update drivers, they are, and I did. Also, if 3 Gb is too small of a paging file, then there is obviously some programming problems to be addressed with the next patch to help fix this. Thanks for the great game, please let me know how I can keep it running.

I posted this some time before, but I can't find that post and the problem hasn't been addressed because it's still an issue in 1.1.

After a seemingly random amount of turns (as few as 3, as many as 10), the game gets choppy and the cursor starts skipping around the screen. The graphics start blinking and changing color, and I have no idea why this happens. Of course, I'm using the latest drivers.

Any help would be appreciated! The game for me has been pretty much unplayable from the day I bought it.

I am having the same issue as you. The game take almost 10 miutes to load a saved game. My system has 2GB of Ram and a 4 GB Pg File. Task manager shows me during the load game that it is using 1.9 GB of Ram then after loading drops to 212 MB. This game has been randomly crashing ever since I got it. Now it crashes consistantly when I try to save a game. Get the out of memory error metioned above. You guys have a serious memory leak I think. My vido drivers are Nvidia Gforce 2 6600 with 256 MB of Ram. I have no problems with any other game besides this one. I like the game I hate how buggy this thing is.

When will the AI be fixed in 1.1 Campaign? It is crippled and I have seen it posted elsewhere on this site. aparently version 1.0 was fine. This is part of the reason to buy the game. I would like a time frame or a refund.

I gathered that some other customers had the same issue as I (memory leak (whatever the hell that is): After performing absolutely flawlessly, the game's performance falls to nill after an apparenly random # of turns. More often than not after exiting the ship-manager (and messing with the design), or when GNN news message pops up, or in battle scene when invading a planet. Thankfully, it gives you a heads-up one or two turns before wigging out: Short period's of bad lag and you know it's time to save and, what the heck, re-boot. Real shame because from what I've seen this could be an awesome game.

I've tried to address the problem by: Updating Radeon drivers to latest version, playing with/without anti-alias, turning music on/off, getting latest version updates, uninstalling the game and starting from scratch. One thing I'm not sure about is how to mess with the virtual memory (I wish they still had Memmaker ).

I guess I'm gonna have to go back to buying crappy console shooters for my entertainment needs. I honestly don't have the know-how, time, budget, or patience to do trial runs for PC games that may or may not work. I might find one after thorough research but I don't have that much time off nowadays. At least with consoles you know that they will work once you pop them in the x-box or what-have-you. The following debug is from the retail game version after I reinstalled it (i.e. no BETA stuff). I hope Stardock can help me with a solution.

Before I even start to list any kind of problem, I have to say what an awesome game! I've been completely addicted and have spent probably more time building ships than playing the game since I bought it! After getting the V1.1 patch though I noticed that I had a memory leak problem, I'm not sure if its the same that was posted before, but here is all the information, and I apologize in advance if you find its my fault, but I did try updating all drivers, and have a computer with 4Gigs of Ram. I get the nice lil funny message "experienced a problem and will probably crash now" love the probably,! Anyways here is my debug.err please help

5 You lose your mouse pointer

People with nVidia Geforce 6X series cards (for the most part) have reported this. We have yet to get it in our internal lab and it doesn't seem to be that wide spread but it's a real show stopper. The solution is to use the hardware mouse cursor which is in the video options area of the game.

I have a nVidia Geforce 6X series and have lost my mouse during specific situations as this time.
My monitor is 1680x1050 and there are times when I run the game at 1024x768. Makes it easy to monitor other windows.

I've caused the mouse errors to happen in the shipyard. I've also got Kryos Hull System Mod installed.
While moving parts about, some of the fake hulls, I've locked the game up.

Side note:
The 6x and 7x Geforce video cards have a like problem in World of Warcraft. With no warning at all, the screen will totaly lock up but one can hear activity happen. The onlything to do is reboot. There are times I've escaped WoW and closed it down and when I try to open WoW back up it states DirectX isn't installed and wont boot the game.

Regarding my post above (Apr 29), it doesn't seem to be a memory leak. When the problems occur, my page file size is around 500 megs, and I still have 100-200 megs of free RAM. However, alt+tabbing out and then back into the game does seem to fix it temporarily, until the problem happens again. Sometimes though, alt+tabbing out and then in results in a blank screen in-game (by blank I mean entirely black), so it would be nice if a fix was made to take care of this.

Thanks!
