My first thoughts

November 7, 2005 9:25:49 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
So far on my computer the game works fine I am using a Dell Dimension 4100 1.33 64 mb ram windos XP pro. The game runs fine, 2 small problems, after 1hour or 2 of playing the game the graphics tend to degrade you can notice a double image that comes and goes mainly of the map screen. Also still have the conflict between research and colonizing, if you colonize a planet in the same turn a research is finished, after you colonize and build everything, if you try to build a ship the research screen will overpower the spaceport screen and you loose the chance to build a ship. You have to then accept the research and then go back and hunt for your planet if you have few then is not abig deal but when you have a bunch it is kind of tedious to go and look for it. Also if you have some other builds finish in the same turn, the GNN screen overpowers also the planet screen. I think that in a proper order the planet screen should be first, then research and then the news. Other than that the game runs fine.

Is there any way you could take a screenshot to show what kind of graphics degradation you're getting, and exactly what kind of video card you're running on so we can try to reproduce it?  Thanks

Also couple of the images when you find anomalies are squeezed.
