Hey all. I recently got a hold of a working computer again after a HELL of a downtime, and now I find, after downloading the game from GameStop (Original release, no expansions) that every time I try to start a game, the game crashes. It goes through the set up phase fine, but after I select a race and start the game, it crashes a few seconds into the loading screen. It hasn't generated an error message, so I don't know what to do. Any thoughts would be appreci

I was wondering, how does one MAKE a custom map? Because I would muchly like to know and I can't seem to find doccumentation on the matter.

For to the purpose of making this post show up, I bumpeth it!

Hey guys. I've been playing Galactic Civilizations 2 for a while now, and it's getting to the point where I'm thinking it's broken. I very rarely get ANY sort of random event that isn't related to an ethical choice. I read you're meant to be able to get random events that unleash the Dread Lords, or that independent planets are forming a union, or that some crazy cult is unleashing a monster. Where's all that? The only random event, apart from that, that I've gotten is Precursor ships and (

Personally, I like a game that doesn't rely on graphics. I hate upgrading my machine, due to the fact that I cannot create money from nothing, and my plans to rob city banks always seem to fall through at the last minute. I enjoy a game with GAMEPLAY. If you want graphics, go search art sites and stop playing games, in my opinion. Sure, a graphical representation of what is going on is nice, but personally, I don't want to have to upgrade my video

Right, I will try an uninstall/reinstall, but first I'll post my Debug.err. At least then you'll know the problem I WAS suffering, if it gets fixed. Debug.err follows: Debug Message: Version v1.1 BETA 4A last updated on: Tue Apr 18 13:16:01 2006 Debug Message: *********DXDiag info follows.********* System Info Time: 4/21/2006, 03:23:30 DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) Machine Name: LUKE Operati

Hello. This is my first major bug since owning this game (Been lucky huh?), and as it happens, it's a major one. I recently upgraded to Beta-4, and found that I couldn't start a new game. At all. Or restore an old one. Now, I looked around for solutions, and I tried deleting my old save games, as I found worked for somebody else. This did work temporarily, but it crashed soon into the game anyway. So anyway, I need help. I upgraded my video dri

Hi. I've been playing the Metaverse lately, and I've found that, of late, I've almost always ended up in the red with no way to get out. It's not a good situation. So I was hoping for a little assistance. Also, is it a bad idea to play against the Yor? They seem to expand pretty damned quick, maybe I should play against less aggressive races. Actually, everybody seems to out-expand me, and it leaves me in a pretty bad situation overall. So I cou

Much obliged folks. They really ought to document it somewhere, for the thick at heart like me...

Could somebody please explain to me the following things: 1) What is the Metaverse? 2) What is the purpose of creating a Character? 3) What is the purpose of creating an empire? 4) Where are my brownies? I've scoured the website and found no documentation on these things. Some help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Attempting to make the post show up...

Hi folks. Me again. I have a problem. I don't understand the Metaverse. What does creating a character do for me? Or creating an Empire, or joining one? I haven't really found any documentation, but if I have missed it, I'll appreciate being directed towards it. Oh and I'm also having trouble posting. I type and post, but my post never shows up. Nor do my new topics. A little help please?

Hi. I was wondering if there was a place to download the first beta build anymore. I don't want to upgrade to the second one yet because people seem to be having trouble, but I think I broke my current build, so... Yeah. Any thoughts?

Ah, many apologies. I must have misread or misinterpreted the post. I thought it was already out. Thank you for setting me straight.

Hi all. First post here, and first off, love the game. It truly is the stuff of conquering dreams. But, as it stands, I can't seem to acquire the latest Beta patch. I have Stardock Central, but it refuses to find the patch when I request it to. So I was hoping for help. Am I using SC wrong? Am I just an idiot? Your help greatly appreciated. Thanks.
