Hello Q, I'm a GalCiv2 (Gold Edition) newbie and I also never really got into Civ. My impressions of GalCiv 2: Positive: I like the overall appeal of this game: Nice graphics, excellent movies and music and good old roundbased gameplay with a nice touch of humour. For me it combines the feeling of "Heroes 3" and "Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri" with a fresh design. And there's no doubt it's designed and programmed from people that care a lot about their game. <img src="http://i

I tried it out and it didn't help. Game crashes as often as before. Maybe it's of interest for you what exactly happens when this bug appears: 1. Some colored flashes suddenly appear for a split second, mostly while scrolling. (This is not always but very often the case.) 2. The game freezes and then the screen goes black for about 5-10 seconds. You can hear a lot of harddisk activity at this time. 3. After this the game reappears and can be played further on. It's not a total game c

Hello CariElf, thanks for your help! I'll try this out!

I activated Anti Aliasing (4x) via the Nvidia global driver settings. Is it still necessary to activate AA within the game options? Thanks for your help!

Kryo, after playing some games now I can tell you that the problem still occurs in Dark Avatar on my computer: From time to time the game suddenly stops, the screen goes black and then reappears after a short time (no crash). But it occurs not as often and for a shorter time (ca. 5 seconds) compared to Dread Lords. I'm still hoping for a patch that will solve this problem with Vista, because I really like your game a lot. Another question: I activated Anti Aliasing with th

Yes, I got it directly via download. I'm definitely playing DA (v1.61). But I have to say that the problem did not occur during my last game. So there's hope it will not occur too often... I'll post again here, when I have played the game for a longer time and can assess more competently if there still is a serious problem with my system.

Hi kryo, thanks a lot for your reply! I really like this game a lot and couldn't resist to buy the AddOn some minutes ago. GC2 reminds me of Heroes 3 and Alpha Centauri, two of my alltime favourite games. The music, the videos and the gameplay seem to be excellent. Unfortunately the problem still occurs in Dark Avatar. It does not happen so often and only for some seconds, but the bug is still there. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Sad.gif" border=0 align="absmiddle

I have big problems with GalCiv II on my new computer: I installed the software with all the additional content via Stardock central. The intro and the loading of a new game works fine. But when I start to scroll around, the game pauses, then the screen goes black and I can hear the hardisk working for about 15-30 sec. Then the game finally reloads again just where it stopped. The taskbar then shows a little yellow warning-sign that unfortunately does not show any text what the problem is. I'm a
