I’m assuming that you are playing on a laptop, right? If so, please provide type. I’ll load it into my laptop to see if the same thing happens here, but it’s probably some driver. Laptops are hard to keep updated because of specialised hardware. There is also the issue of what really happens when the laptop goes into sleep/suspended mode. Sometimes I have noticed that it’s not “all there”, if you follow me. I’m not sure, but c

Just an update. I got new sound drivers after a whole lot of searching. Of course, being from 2003, I’m using the word “new” in a very wide sense. Now the game is as stable as anything, so any issues there were seems to have gone. It seems like windows, at least XP, decide what drivers to use. All of a sudden the new drivers got replaced with the newer but less functional windows default drivers. Anyway, with the n

I managed to get a somewhat newer driver Date: 2002-07-24 Version: 5.12.2.252 I hope that helps. Unfortunately I have to live with an extra folder in Program/. I just hate the mess some installs make But I guess there isn’t much to do about that. Thanks for the help, I have already uninstalled Galciv and reinstalled it fresh.<br

I figured there would be a lack of interest for an old build Just curios, that’s all. I also know about the sound driver that were given to me by The Ancients Problem is that I can’t find any newer one. I know there should be one, I just can’t find it.<

I just installed the latest ATI-drivers and paid a visit to windows update. I didn’t have much of a problem with the game prior to this, but now for some reason I get a crash. I haven’t pushed it so I can’t say this always happens. This is beta build 1, I know there are newer releases, but what I really like to know is what caused the crash. Just out of general curiosity. The game I loaded was from a save from the same build. Here’s

Well you could solve the money problem by going deeper into debt, thus allowing the sign bit to flip over again. The size of the numbers (int, floats, longs et.c.) is compiler dependent by the way. It can be set in an environment file (not recommended though). BTW, I will nominate you for this years Ebenezer Scrooge award Rygel XV

I would dig down and improve my planets. Mainly just to avoid a victory type I don’t want. Then do the proxy war thing and while your enemies slug it out you have all the time in the galaxy to research. I would research tile improvements first and then larger hulls all the way. Weapons could probably be traded or bought for by now witch could help a bit in that regard. When I had guns and bombs and rockets n’ stuff that I thought wa

Now I’m confused again. So witch one is it? Rygel XVI - Dominar to over 600 billion (more or less) loyal subjects.

I had the game for some time now but haven’t had the opportunity to play as much as I would like (You never do). I’ve had the same problem though and this is what I did. First my analysis was that basically this is war, and war is a mater of resources. I imagined that the AI simply was better at getting these resources then I was. If You feel that this applies to You then maybe this could be useful: First, LOWER the taxes. Taxes is what

I had some trouble as well. I’m on an ATI 9800 Pro (still going strong ). Much of the crashes went away after I got the latest drivers but some infrequent snafus still occurred. This might not be a totally smooth way for You to get to the bottom of the problem, but I solved it by drawing another line of water-cooling to the ATI-card. I haven’t had any problems since then. You might want to look

I’m just afraid that games will be like Civ III when the Zulus on the other side of the swamp declare war on you. Then you have to wait for twelve turns or so before they come knocking on the gates. I think Douglas Adams wrote something to that effect as well. As long as range doesn’t get nerfd too much I think it’s a good idea.

Can we have the game files moved from "my documents" please? I chose an install directory different to the default for a reason, please use it for these files also. Or if someone can tell me how to modify this myself that would be great. Too many games now store data in "my documents" but dont mention anyth

Minors should just be considered as plasma fodder. Tweaking them into AI would have the same effect as lying when you choose the number of opponents. When I chose four opponents then I mean four opponents, not an arbitrary number that could or could not be based around the number four. I can see why some people would like to play without minor races, but to bump them up to major status would just wreck the balance of the game. Personally

I agree that the ingame music is pretty good, but no track can withstand the scrutiny of 50 hours+ of listening. Until the real thing comes along I recommend WinAmp ( Link ) and the old Alt-Tab. If you don’t want or can’t Alt-Tab here is a fix for that too: In WinAmp chose Options -> Preferences or just press Ctr+P. Check the box labelled ‘Enabled’ at the top and if you like to you could also

Tweaking Starbases: When choosing to upgrade it’s hard to know which starbase it is. It would be great if the name and type of the starbase was in the yes/no-dialog when choosing if to upgrade. It would bee equally sweet if you would make the dialog be in the upper side of the screen and zoom the screen to the starbase in question. This would let you get a look on that specific starbase tactical need. Would also be nice if you could move arou
