BB: Most welcome, and awesome of you to look into it, Thanks! PP: Aucun problème, mon ami. Imaginez si j'essayais de dire toute la ceci dans la langue vraie de la civilité et de la diplomatie. J'apprécie votre intention et effort !
OK, I tried something: though I dont have a monitor attached to the port, I went into graphic properties and changed the docking station's port to 32 bit. And Lo, the 16-bit warning went away. Der. My apologies to Stardock for me not catching this earlier. I probably should have mentioned I was using a docking station, but since I just have a printer and ext HD attached to it, I didn't think it would contribute to the problem. Real
Sure Boogie and looking at it myself, I think I see something that might be causing it. As I stated earlier, the game runs fine now and I am liking it a lot! My laptop is attached to a docking station that happens to have a VGA port though I don't use it. I think the program is seeing the specs for the unused "display 2" and reporting it, because for all it knows, I could switch to that display during gameplay. Appreciate your attention and support
Peace Phoenix, I don't mean to flame you, since perhaps English is not your primary language, or maybe you just have a reading comprehension problem. The very first post states emphatically that I am running 32-bit color "Screen is 1024x768 and 32-bit color." but the game is incorrectly detecting 16-bit. Thanks for the mininal display tip. My suggestion to you is to reseach the "Universal Translator" a bit more before you offer tech support to others. For others: The game
OK here's the deal: 1st off, I was wrong about the 32MB... it's actually a whopping 64MB of slow clunkin' video memory. 2nd, I completely uninstalled the game, Stardock =AND= the demo, Rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled the Intel video driver, rebooted, Then defraged pagefile and cleaned/compacted registry, Rebooted, Finally install Stardock fresh, allowed it to install retail version of GalCiv2 1.0X, AND it works! Next I went for
I have posted this twice now, but I think it gets tacked on to other threads where ppl keep posting pages and pages of dump files (ought to be attachments if you ask, but nobody did). I have GalCiv2 installed on a Dell Inpiron laptop with Intel 82845G? (just 32MB) graphics. Screen is 1024x768 and 32-bit color. The Demo ran fine, except at startup, the game always said it detected 16-bit color and recommended I changed to 32. Otherwise the
This forum thing is Very FRUSTRATING. I posted a bug earlier and have no idea which thread it went into. TOO many threads. I'll try again: running GalCiv2 on a Dell laptop, demo game pops up with "you're running 16-bit color" but I'm not, however it runs fine. Now, the full game still says I'm in 16-bit (I'm not) but the main menu but are blank (white) and after that it gets worse. Primarily just the Next, Previous and Don
