GalCiv 1.1 BETA 4 REPORTS!

Crashes or severe issues only

from GalCiv2 Forums

It's time to wrap up 1.1 so that everyone else can use it.

At this point, only SEVERE issues (i.e. like a game crash or something that really affects game play) should be mentioned unless it's something NEW.  That means suggestions, pet peeves, etc. should wait until future updates.

 Please download from Stardock Central (in the "free stuff" area) a program called Smart Exception.  When you have it installed, run it and then run the game. IF the game crashes, it will create a file that can be emailed to [email protected] that will tell us literaly what line of code it crashed on. It's even possible that just one solid smartexception report could resolve this completely.

Debug.err reports will NOT tell us where a crash occurs. We need the SmartException.

Beta 4 has passed Stardock's internal QA at this point so as far as they're concerned, it's ready for release.  But we want to run it by you guys as well.

You cannot select build "NOTHING" from the build-queue on the main star-map. It doesn't work anymore, so every time you want to idle a starport you need to open the planet, and do it in the shipyard screen Very annoying, and is new with Beta 4.


Same problem, yes its very annoyin...
Surpriesed more people havnt mentioned this

Ship Design:

States that basic life support is a size 5, yet frequently at 60 max size points I can fit the following.

One Trade Module = 30
Two Impulse 2 Drives = 18
Three Basic Supports = 15?

Total there is 63.

Not that I am complaining mind you, but if I am using it than the aliens are and I just noticed it (mutter mutter)

Dont know if this was mentioned earlyer but ist it right that there is no political center oder manufacturing center in the game under 04 ? I played a metaverse game. Oh, nearly forgot, i use the german version. (the translatiion, I mean the parts which were translated, is horrible btw. ). Sorry for the bad english but I am german.

The initial Colony ship design is GROSSLY suboptimal. You can upgrade it , remove a support module, and end up with a STRICTLY better ship.

Un view of the population changes, the colonly ship you start the game with should be fully loaded.

The initial colony ship is not fully loaded. It has 100, not 500 (one of the colony modules is candy, hence not 1,000).

I see the over limit range components on AI trade ships (form the ship details screen). If your trade ship version is an upgrade of one of those, that would explain it. If you design your trade ship from scratch I believe the stated limit holds.

I noticed the trade ship overage under beta 3A
I noticed the colony candy (and verified it) under beta 4.

I re-design(from scratch, not upgrade) all the core ships. The core designs do not fit well with my tech strategy. (thats my story and I'm sticking to it)

edit: from beta 4. Arcean ship
I tried to duplicate the components from scratch and adding all the components except for the trade module brought the design to 64/68. The trade module is another 30. 94/68? oops. (above trade module on list is transport hull)

Smart Exception readme: When an application who's .EXE is in the configured list crashes, a dialog appears in addition to the Windows Error Reporting dialog (on XP).


I did not get the additional dialog box. I can manually zip what you need if I knew what files. If i bring up the debug logger I get a blank view screen and an active "save to disk" button.

Incorrect sorting ascending and decending when clicking on the top bar of the colony screen. What is being displayed, is not what is being sorted. When production is moved from social to military, both the social column and military column sort as if nothing was moved. Also, numbers in parenthsis sort in order as if no parentisis where there.

ByFrogboy: Debug.err reports will NOT tell us where a crash occurs. We need the SmartException.

It's possible to get infinite Racial abilities. In fact, it's IMPOSSIBLE to create a custom race without getting all these for free, even if you remove them: +4% Logistics, +10% Defense, +20% Military. More details in another thread. Link Sorry if this is an old bug, but nobody has responded yet.

I just had a crash to desktop after I hit the "turn" button. I emailed the file to the address you suggested above.

I've had to disable autosave on my machine. It always over heats and freezes up, forcing a manual restart during the intial autosave.

Beta 4 runs fine overwise.
Frogboy, Stardock crew, Is it possible to reduce that intial save time (both auto and manual)? It takes 10 minutes literally for an initial manual save on my 2.66 Ghz, 770 megs Ram machine.
