Cant micro-manage, no tax control

from GalCiv2 Forums
Why can I not manage tax and governors etc - and also not have a number of screens available that the tutorials say should be there?

In addition some game incidents occur, such as "youve found inhabitants on this planet - choose one of the following options" but you cannot chose any of the options. Neither can you chose what type of space station to build. Its as though you simply arent allowed to make a lot of the decisions that the tutorials say you should be able to.

This sounds really odd.

Can you post the start of your debug.err file here? It would help people to locate the fault because I am sure it must be something to do with your specs or drivers.

I know why... you chose a race color that was too dark... choose the brightest white and you'll be able to see it. Same thing happened to me the first time I played... I chose a dark blue color and many of the options were "invisible".

Nope, not that - the ability to change the tax slider is not there - it is fixed at 33%.. SImilarly htere are no options on the governor panel - it jus tpops up and shows you the deefault settings with no ability to change them. If you tell a constructor to make a space station you dont get any selectable options as to what it can be...and so on and so forth.

The options are all visibly there - just you cannot select them and they are always greyed out as aavailable choices... its like its in idiot-mode and the AI is running most things for you.

I misunderstood then, sorry. That's odd. I know sometimes the sliders won't move for me, as if they're locked, but the lock icon isn't "on". To move them, I have to "lock" them. But... there's no lock icon for tax rate. It does this in all your games? If so, I'd remove the game, reinstall, then reboot. I know, it's not a "the penny just dropped" idea, but, it's the next thing I would do.

As you're here and still posting Antenociti, why don't you do as I asked and post your debug.err? That is, if you want your problem solved?

i don't think there is a lock icon for the the tax rate, only for the spend rate ( research, military, social, etc.)

I'm having the same problem as the OP - here's the debug log.
