Reply to GalCiv 1.1 BETA 4 REPORTS! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

The only issue I have is that I can't get SmartException to install off of SDC. It sits at the Downloading 0% screen and remains there indefinitely. Once I figure that out, it'll be too late anyway, so why am I posting really?

Reply to Is it really that bad? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

A lot of loud mouths here like to say the game crashes a lot (and it did for me at one point until Brad personally helped me find out why). But once you have your drivers updated to a reasonable point, the game will only occasionally crash. Name me a game that has -never- crashed and I will personally come congratulate you in the future for finding said game. I have played a lot of games. All of them will crash. Such is the nature of PC

My game is crashing more and more... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

When I bought GCII (about a week after release via SD Central) I could play for days straight without issue. One game I had would crash every three turns and both Brad and CariElf were excellent with personally helping me figure that one out. I started a new game on their advice and uninstalled/reinstalled the game entirely through SDC. The first time you see, I applied the first patch via the site download and the second via SDC which may have caus

Reply to Things I don't understand in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm tossing my hat into the 'have no idea how the sliders work' pool. I simply leave them where they are except for moving the tax rate when I start to lose money. This is quite obviously, a bad way to play, and likely why I cannot win a game above normal.

Reply to Devs: System Crashes Becoming Horrible in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It's always been sound for me in all my other games. It got to the point that for Civ 4 I tore out my Audigy 2 and gave it to a friend of mine and started using my onboard MB sound. Sad, eh? But I haven't had a sound related crash since. Hmmmmmm? Just so you're aware, I had a bug that crashed my game too, and Cari figured it out, I had updated the

The scoring is completely twisted.... in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I've come to two conclusions on how one gets a high (100k+) score. 1) Play on a Gigantic map. 2) Set difficulty to 'Suicidal' or whatever is higher. Then you get to be in the top 50. Woo hoo! Good for you. Unfortunately, there are those of us that enjoy 'competing' on the Metaverse that are not good enough at the game to win often (or at all) on settings above 'Normal'. Therefore we will never be 'competitive' and may as well just forget about the

Reply to Pathetic to God, How I became good at Galciv2. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I usually go for Mini-Soldiers and if I'm thoroughly outnumbered that seems to help. I try to avoid inflicting damage on a planet. Going for mini-soldiers also gives you tons of + Soldiering which means you're likely to win anyway. Of course, the downside is that it takes quite a long time to research to that point.

Reply to The game crashes (and crashes and crashes) in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Much public appreciation to Brad for replying in like 5 seconds and working with me to find the problem. And sending me -screenshots- of the code. (Some of which I actually understand, having been an old-school C++'er). And then pointing out that it is a code bug and not my fault. Much love in the air. Now I await the next patch which will hopefully sort me out. Yay! My own code bug! Name it after me! The Knightsaber Bug.</
