I have an GC2Gold + ToA addon installed on my PC. When I construct and upgrade a military spacebase it is invisible. This problem appears only in GC2DA (v1.5-v1.80g) and GC2ToA (v1.96 or any earlier version), if I build military spacebase in GC2DL (v1.5)– it is visible. Changing ingame video settings doesn’t help. This problem appears only on my desktop PC, on my notebook military spacebases are visible in any version of GC2DL, DA and ToA games. Reinstallation (uninstall + complete delete of all game files and game registry records + new install) doesn’t solve this problem, but if I just copy gamefiles and registry records of GC2Gold+ToA from desktop PC to notebook – on notebook military spacebases become visible.
This problem concerns only military starbases, all other starbases and ships are normal.
I solve this problem by copying S0_MilitaryStarbase0.shipcfg, S0_MilitaryStarbase1.shipcfg, S0_MilitaryStarbase2.shipcfg, S0_MilitaryStarbase3.shipcfg, S0_MilitaryStarbase4.shipcfg files from \\GalCiv2\Data\ShipCfg directory to \\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar\ShipCfg directory. But I have to start a new game or load very early save game to construct visible military starbases. If I load save game with existing military starbases – they are still invisible and newly constructed military starbases are invisible too, destroying all existed military starbases saving and loading game doesn’t help.
