TOA String Not Found Error

April 30, 2008 6:48:29 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

Hi,

I've downloaded the official realease of TOA, after, of course, uninstalling the beta, yet I found the same bug in the new game.

When I go to the shipyard, the button next to "New" has "String not found" printed over it. Clicking on that button seems to reveal a set of sliders for adjusting ship design and components, I guess.  However all these say String Not Found as well. Hope you can shed some light on this. In the beta I couldn't set these sliders and upgrade my ships.

Hope this is something you guys can help with.  And thanks for a great game!

I forgot to mention that I did uninstall the betas and updated GC2 prior to the installation. The original and expansion pack both played fine.

Hi Frogboy,

Thank you so much for your quick response! I installed via Stardock, the 1.9 file. Since posting, I've uninstalled ToA twice. I've deleted the TOA files from both My Documents and Program files. I've redowloaded the new file twice and it's still the same. String Not Found appears in the game setup, the options while in games, and while in the ship construction screens. I've unclicked it, but I'm not sure that's doing anything.

If there's any information or files I can supply please don't hesitate to ask. I love this game and I'm happy to do anything I can.

Thanks again!

Hi Mad, that's really strange.  I'm trying to think why it would be missing just those strings.

Our of curiosity, are you running US English on Windows? Is this Vista or XP?

Hi Frogboy,

Thanks again for such a speedy response. So far as I know, I'm running US on Vista Home. Updated my graphics card last week, dual core amd, 4gigs ram, 500 gig hd. I've played several of the betas but don't recall having seen this error until the last beta. As I said, I uninstalled the beta before installing the 1.9 version.

I'm trying the campaign now and the string not found is still there with regards to the ship yard. Game itself seems to be running great!

thanks again!

I also have the String Not Found... in fact, I have a ton of them in the "Game" screen under "Options". Also on the shipyard. That's all I've seen so far. I did a clean install of 1.9 after uninstalling and deleting all the folders I could. I'm running Vista US English.

In addition, I started a game with the Altairans, and they started with all kinds of really advanced techs, like Dark Energy.

Also, I saw no "lite constructor module" available for the Arceans.

Hi,

I've just finished updating Galciv2, deleting the TA beta, removing its folders and installing the 1.9 release ON MY XP COMPUTER.

It works fine there with no String not Found errors appearing in any of the menus. This is my office machine so I'd rather play on my Vista computer which has more power.

I thought I'd pass the XP success in the hopes that some solution can be found.

Again, thanks for a great game!
