[quote] And since research is done on an empire wide basis*, it really only matters how much you have collectively, not per planet. You do want your tech capital to be as high as it can be, yes, but there's a point where it's just not worth the money anymore.[/quote] The same goes for econ - it is on an empire wide basis (as well as on the planetary scale). So devoting certain planets to research and other planets to economy makes sense. Econ planets need to be high PQ

While America will not always be a Superpower, it will likely remain a Superpower in our lifetimes. Well, unless the forces that be continue on the current course of saying 'I'm Sorry' to the ones that want to destroy us. Or unless they continue to spend so much of what we don't have to support an illegal population. Or unless they continue to throw away what made this country the best in all the world. Or unless they continue to throw away any v

It may not have updated correctly; your debug still shows it as version 1.0. That is assuming that this debug is from a game begun after the update. First thing you should try is uninstalling the game. Then reinstall it through Impulse - NOT from the CD. Installing from the CD is a wasted step, since nearly everything is replaced with the update.

Set your game resolution to match the desktop resolution. 1024x768 is probably causing a problem for either your monitor or video driver.

Current Display Mode: 1280 x 960 (32 bit) (85Hz) Debug Message: Game Resolution: 1280 x 1024 Just curious. Why are you running the game in a different resolution than your native desktop?

You would have to set the research slider to 100% to use the full research capability.

Way to go DAVE!!! I haven't had a boom, even with late edits, in over a week. And the reports of booms seem to be ever decreasing.

You can't do multiple prereqs, but you can adjust them to make the weapons come after another line of research. All you would need to do is change the Galactic Warfare 'Requires' tag from 'None', to whatever tech you want the weapons tree to come after. It might actually be interesting to make, say, Xeno Ethics the prereq for Galactic Warfare. That way they would have to get Diplomatic Translators and Xeno Ethics before any weapons research could begin. They would be forced in

Not for everyone. Since they fixed the boom problems it has been quite a bit faster for me.

Still haven't had a boom in more than a week.

So which forum did you get this tidbit from?

And many times it is the other way around. I sense a personal problem here. Did you just break up with a 'good girl', or a 'bad man'?

[quote]Temp1&Core temperatures[/quote] What, exactly, are these temps mapped to? Which one, if either, is the video chip? The symptoms indicate an overheating video chip, no matter what any other temp readings indicate.

Try playing only on battery power, not AC. The CPU usually throttles down when it's on battery, and you won't generate so much heat.

Try setting Background Nebula Density to 1. (Personally, I find the background nebula's to be a distraction. I always set it to 1. It saves memory and proc power, and I don't have to look through so much garbage to actually see the game.) And yes, you may simply have a weak GPU. It may be newer than the game, but that does not mean it is up to the task of running full GC2 graphics. Mobile chip sets are, by their very nature, weak in comparison to a dedicated video card. And the Expres

I'm in the Pacific time zone, and for the past week I have had 0 booms no matter how late I post. Maybe we should ban easterners. Maybe that should be the next Off-Topic stupid game?

9 of 10 in recent. In More Recent there were: 15 of the first 20, 20 of the total 40. And most of them I care nothing about. I have nothing against Off-Topic being in the Recent list. But I do not like all the fluff garbage spam that comes with it. How about a little moderator help in deleting the truly stupid threads?

The debug.err file is a text file. Use Notepad.

Well, recent means those threads that have the latest activity. If more people post to them, then they should be at the top. You know, you could always simply go to the particular forum that you wish to see. It is only a single mouse click away. How hard is that? You could even make a link to your favorite forum. That way, you could save all that time of clicking the mouse one extra time.

[quote]That was my mistake. It's what I get for typing so fast It'll be fixed in the next update. Bara[/quote] Of what use is speed, if accuracy suffers as a result?

Sounds like you have an overheating issue. First thing you should do is get a can of compressed air and blow out the dust from the entire case, and especially around the fans. You could also be taxing the power supply, which has a higher power requirement when you are using the video card and/or CPU at their maximum. You failed to mention the wattage of your PSU.

It's more likely that there is no chance of ever meeting any.

No, since my last post in this thread. I have made several replies in other threads since then, and none have gone boom.

Well, when you can't complain about boom - hijack something. I still haven't had a boom since my last post. Someone must have done something right.

Cool. I'll try it on my next game. Thanks Scoutdog. There is no RobotMovie tag in my RaceConfig.xml file, but I do see both movies in the Movies folder. I guess I'll try adding the tag and see what happens. (I'm playing DL, by the way)
