Windows XP Pro home version gives the same syntax as you show above. You might try one of the two formats that creates an output file and see what it produces. This raises some new thoughts, that I have to ask Cari, if I can get her on the Galciv chat. If I do, either Cari or I will post something further here.
Wow. Everyone must be getting bored with the same old Beta 2 bugs if they are all jumping on a new bug report this way. It must be just about time for Beta 3. Right Stardockers? Soon?
as time goes on! No, as you go from one game to the next. It is only by using the new game function that they increase.
After a few games without changing my race's abilities it looks like the abilities I had selected have increased with each new game I played. For instance, planet quality, which I selected as a +5, is now at +25.
Primarycolorman - Exellent translation. Even a technophile like me can see how easy it will be for a technophobe to grasp the problems and the effort it takes to solve them.
Can someone give me a way of making the left and right arrows for rotating views of ships make sense? From the begining of Beta 1 I have been hitting the right arrow to make a ship rotate counter clockwise (with the ship facing me, I want the ship's nose to go right, so I press the right arrow) and the left arrow to make the ship rotate clockwise (nose to the left), but the ship always goes the opposite direction. I just can't seem to get myself trained to click the
Glenn, one additional thought. It is possible to turn on or off some of the DirectX accelerator options using the DXDIAG command. You may want to ask Cari which ones GC2 is dependent on, and check to make sure that they are on. All other things considered, it really looks like the key indicator to your problem is the failure of DXDIAG when called from within GC2. There are a whole lot of us testers playing GC2 without getting the symptoms you are, so I am f
200 unarmed ????
Debug Message: Could not find a TGN Serial No. Debug Message: Error initializing dxdiag info. My guess from the above two lines in your debug.err file is that you don't have DirectX at all. Hopefully, someone who knows will jump in here and give an authorative answer to why you got these two messages. The
Have you looked at the debug.err file in your galciv2 directory? The game puts a lot of hardware information there. You should see a report on the display support, and it should show the level of DirectX (9.0C is required by GC2) and the graphics card drivers and driver levels (the dates should be recent, as the drivers must support DirectX 9.0c). Since you found new drivers you should have the driver dates. The dates captured and displayed in the debug.err file shou
I figured it out. It went to a page in the browser of SDC. All I had to do was use to select another web target.
Perhaps there should be a sequal to GC that concentrates on type II civilizations. Call it "Type II Galactic Civilizations". Or how about "Universe Civilizations", after all, beyond exploring and exploiting the galaxy is exploring and exploiting the universe. The story line would start after the completion of the GC tech "final frontier". Nnnaaahhh. It would have to be so super theoretical that most people would not be able to buy into it, and the game
Where there is a mean looking guy with a shotgun, 2 creepy blank staring zombies, a thing with a chainsaw and another marine firing a machine gun. Sounds like a lot of game boxes I have seen on store shelves. Come to think of it, it sounds like the comic book covers I used to see on store shelves when I was a teen age
Or they could be hermaphoditic. Isn't it interesting how all of these ideas have roots in what we see here on our own world? Perhaps we are being too narrow minded in what could be?
Did you play Civ 2 or Alpha Centaury? I found Civ 3 very dissappointing in comparison to those earlier titles.. It's playability was crap.
It could be There are a lot of "could be"s in this discussion, and we need lots of people to point out as many "could be"s as can be found. But we also must all remember that it is all "could be", every bit of it, from the article that inspired the original post of this thread through all of the future discussion in
Also don't forget that "software engineer" is a relatively new term, one that is objected to by many older, more experienced programmers. This may scew the "statistics" to exclude many female programming professionals. Also, I saw more women go into management positions than men. While my experience may be anacdotal, it could also point out that many women are left out of the "statistical" base that should be included. For those that will surely as
I prefer to play the games with or watch my kids play the games and have dialogue about what is appropriate behavior and what is not. JJ, you are doing it the only effective way. More parents should be like you. <img src="htt
The problem is that "games are for kids" in most older peoples eyes Then I must be just a kid at heart. I'm 66.
What the heck is a Dyson Sphere? Here is a link to a site that is a good starting point for information about theories of Dyson Spheres --- http://sfwrg.org/d005.html --- Within this site are also two links to other brief disertations, one containing a description of type I, type II, and type III civilizations. <B
If stardock really wanted to add voices Wouldn't it be neat if you heard sounds coming from the aliens that sounded like it should be speaking and the text gave you a translation or another voice gave you the ? But only if you had already researched the Universal Translator. Babylon 5 did this with several of their a
I have also seen this. You may wish to look at my post -- https://www.galciv2.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=274&AID=81565 -- to check for and report similarities and differences between what we each saw. Every little bit of information helps to find the problem(s).
Oh. If the debug file had timestamps on each of the debug entries, it would go a long way to helping isolate this problem.
Cari, when I get a slowdown again I will capture the debug file and send it to you and Scott.
color changed You probably saw my typo. I meant "color chalanged".
