Any word on the Planet Quality bug...or was this fixed in the 1.3a patch?

And i'd try updating your video and sound drivers....they are both over 12 months old. You would be surprised what wonders up to date drivers can do for you....

i gotta go with jim on this one.....In around 6 to 7 games since 1.3 i have not seen 1 minor race...and all these games were on maps no smaller than huge..... I figured it was a small bug but sibce you guys have seen them i guess im just stuck in a rut......

here's an interesting little bug, resaerched ethics, then the ethical choice screen appeared prompting me to choice. i dive straight for neutral, those nlc's are just great, and i get a ctd. when i reload the game it sees that i have researched ethics but no longer gives me the choice screen. and in the civs menu it says no alignment...anyone have similar and anyone know if i can still choose an alignment or am i screwed?

Im running a 400w power supply atm, so that shouldnt be a hassle. I want to go dual core, so i want to get a lower priced card till i can afford the full upgrade. Its prolly as much a driver issue as with the card, are all geforce drivers compatible with all gforce cards? anyone know? Are there any video card issues with 1.3 that anyone knows about?

im running the march driver myself and wondered if that was the source of the problem...theres a new driver out....good ill check it out and as for the overheating, i put an 8" fan in and that helped but on the hot days it can really be a pain.....

and of course....bump.

After too many ctd's to count i tracked my problem down to my video card. It's either a crap type (no i dont know that much about them) or i have a faulty card on my hands. What video card is every one using and what problems if any is every one having and any reccomendations to which card i should buy next? Im using an Nvidia card FX 5700le, wish i wasnt tho

hahahahah @ maximus...i dont think they got the sarcasm in ur last post....

ok thanks for that i will check the throttle framerate...and yes i do have smart ex installed and have submited many reports to that email.....as yet no help.....im sure every1 is busy with dark avatar....

i will try the new video drivers,ty, and yes i reinstalled, to no avail and then for good measure done a format and reinstall of xp and still no good..these problems have been since 1.1...thanks for the help...ill bump and see if i can get the attention of one of the devs....

opps it would help if i listed the error report...lol Debug Message: Version v1.3 beta 1 last updated on: Thu Jul 27 18:22:18 2006 Debug Message: *********DXDiag info follows.********* System Info Time: 8/8/2006, 10:49:52 DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) Machine Name: NEILO Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519) Languages: English (Regional Setting: English) System Ma

hi all, this problem has been hounding me for some months. at any random moment the game will crash to desktop with the normal send error report prompt coming up. i have posted debug.err here b4 but to no avail, hoping some new ideas might be out there........please help me!! thanks.

err star dagger are you trying to say that ship was designed by the romulans? if so i have to question that statement.....anyways thats a debate for another forum....nice conversion han looks great!!!!!

i sent brian an email not long ago and he replied saying that alpha 1 is just about ready and will send out a link to everyone on his list soon. i for one cant wait his work looks great!!

in no way shall i add to this post!!!!! opps!

Here, Here, Frogboy. SD's commitment to the galciv communitty is fantastic and is a huge part of the reason why i bought this game regardless of no cd protection. If more developers put their time and money into the game instead of the protection we would be living happily. Keep up the great work and maybe other companies might take notice at the fantastic job done by you and all the others here at SD!!!! Thankyou, <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/sm

whenever that U.P. resolution is passed about starbase modules i always leave. trade be damned id rather be maxing out my econ starbases and mining resources than trading anyway........

tks for the help guys and ive thrown a couple of emails to stardock already from smartex...no word on any solution or diagnosis as of yet.....i am inclined to think it is maybe a heat issue with my cpu...a new case may be the answer i was thinking of upgrading in the next couple of months....time to do it now i guess!! tks.

another bump

ok its a random crash as it will happen at any time....but its also constant as it will happen at some point...i hope u understand that......and yes about 1 in every 5 crashes is a whole restart with some cryptic microsoft message about the gpu....i had considered heat and installed 2 more case fans that blow directly over the card and it has had no effect that i can see......a new graphics might be the answer??? please guys all opinions are greatly apprecieted.

bump

like the heading states crashing it seems for any reason...ive had it like this for about 2 weeks was trying to determine a pattern at all, cant seem to find one...it mainly ctd but every now and then it restarts pc with serious error message. i have no probs with any other game or software, any ideas?? ps. happened to 1.1 and the 1.2 beta. heres debug, Debug Message: Version v1.2 Beta 1 last updated on: Fri May 26 19:38:18 2006 Debug Message:

deserves to be read....so i bump
