I have a W2K in italian. I have set my languages in english, as suggested, but after the first startup movie the application CTD. Attached the debug file. What is that *.StarSystems that is missing?

mmmm, I have been lazy in this GC2 V2 and I'm a little out of sync. I have been told that win2k is an issue for the moment but also that there should be a special exe for it. Any confirmation of that and any hint to help me find and use it? My GC2 V2 version loads but CTD when I either choose options-video or new_game-next. Thanks, Gherardo
Edited by moderator Gerahado: Perhaps you should read the journal entry. Win2K from SDC doesn't work. We had to create a special Win2K EXE. Please do not use this thread to post beta reports.
I was listing the planets in the left box of the main screen and decided to change from a constructor to a freighter in a planet. It opened the planet box and as I changed the ship and oked crashed to the desktop without hope. I was not able to reproduce the bug also because I updated to the next beta version. debugg.err attached. gherardo Debug Message: Version v 0.31 Beta 3a last updated on: Thu Sep 1 13:47:44 2005 Debug Message: *********DXDiag info follows.*********<b
By the way, could we be enabled to add markers on any place to remember "things"? Let's have 4 different types of markers if possible.
Cari, Star Pilot, my thinking is that a starbase is more similar to a planet than to a ship, so at least I should get a marker that remembers me where it was last time. I agree a starbase can become a Terror stars (not common) or be destroyed (more common ) but a marker of the position should be acceptable.
One small question... Why in GC1 the starbases were "victims" of the FOW? Since they are stationary I should have a grab on them one I've found them. Can we fix this in GC2? gherardo
If we have to add a new type of ship, I'd apreciate more a kind of mine layer/ mine sweeper starships because it gives the game more strategic options with a simple implementation since the mine is the perfect asymmetric weapon that currently is missing. I agree with Lucky Jack (or John ) that before every consideration we need to understand if the AI can cope with it. Also, I'm terrified by
Square it all. Please! I'm casting a vote. Add your preference below.
You can rotate your main view so that it is at a "90 degree" angle. I'm not exactly sure why games do this (the diamond map), but it's been a convention for strategy games as far back as Age of Empires. Personally I like it as it makes everything feel bigger than it might actually be, more epic. I really hope I
Ok, I've reviewed the reasons for it. My idea is that IF the map has to be diamond shaped THEN also the minimap must be (like now is). BUT IMHO I do prefer square maps because of efficency in using the monitor viewing area. <TD class="m
Having said that this is not a bug problem and so not urgent in this phase of beta... ... I'd like to understand why the galactic map (and minimap) is designed along 45° lines... (and not along vertical and horizontal lines of a monitor). It eates up a lot of screen space and, mostly for small galaxy sizes, you frequently see the borders of the galaxy and the emptyness of the infinite (intergalaxy space I assume). Please think about it and/or explain why.
I'd like to understand what I should give up to get the research queue... Basically I don't need it, but if it's free... and I can switch it off, it doesn't hurt gherardo
Is there any way to put the debug list in a section and collapse it in a line for submissions in the forum? gherardo
Forgot to say that my version is 0.11b[b].002
I lost the NEXT TURN button after pressing it few times quickly... Gherardo
Thanks Paul!
Latest release 011b002 When a planet builds a ship, it doesn't come up in the list of ships orbiting the planet... Once I also got the classic shield on the planet but nothing orbiting. Gherardo

rely. I have seen many good ideas and comments and think Brad will need to balance good ideas with game mechanics and AI development. Just wished now to give a vote for DeadJohnny's idea.

the combat transport defence rating since is ways too high. Even a battleship gets a lot of pain from them. What do you think?
