No ship icons bug late in DA still showing up

from GalCiv2 Forums

Late in the game, no new ship icons will show up even though there are new ships ready.

Searching the ships in the colony list will find them.  But launching them from here doesn't usually work.  The launched ships go back to being unlaunched.  Bizzare.

Launcing them from the planet list under the colony button does work.

Restarting the game fixes the problem for a 3-4 turns.  I check every turn late in the game to make sure that new ships are coming on line.

I think this is a Vista only problem late in games with lots of ships.  Several other people have reported seeing it.  I have 3 gigs memory on a fairly new Dell.

No one at Stardock seems to care.  I guess it doesn't happen to enough people.  I wish I could go back to my old XP machine.  It slows down too much in big galaxies.

I don't know if this is related to memory

but since you mentioned it : if you're using 64bits Vista you might want to check out that thread for expanding galciv2 memory limits beyond 2GB

I got a new computer with 6 gig memory.  Running Win 7.

I thought this problem would go away.  It didn't.

Still late in the game, ship icons (for newly built ships).  Can find them manually but it is a pain.  I know it won't get fixed.  They have to try to fix Elemental first (damn it is boring).
