Reply to GalCiv 1.3 beta 2 changes in GalCiv Journals Stardock Forums

Viithtrump, I ran BoundsChecker to look for memory leaks earlier this week and I didn't find anything significant. It could be just taking awhile to de-allocate all of the memory, particularly if you play on gigantic galaxies with lots of ships. Or, it could be a side effect of the memory bug in 1.3 beta 1. Mascrinthus, Yes, the miniaturization is in 1.3 beta 2a. As for not dumping untested code on beta testers, I try not to do that too often.&n

Then try turning off the mods. You may also need to delete all your ship designs from the My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\ships folder (or My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\Metaverse\ships folder if you play the metaverse) if you created any ships that use modded components.

Reply to Crashes on my system in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Try updating your sound drivers. If you are still getting random crashes, you may have a problem with a codec on your system. Many media player programs like WinDVD or Media Portal install codecs on your system and they don't always play nice with other programs. You can see what codecs are installed on your system by right clicking on My Computer, then select properties. Click on the hardware tab and then click on the Device Manager button. Then right click on Audi

Reply to Saving the game in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Actually, looking at the code now that scans the directory for save games, and I think I know why it's ignoring save games with the same name as raceconfigs or zip files. Fixing it now.

Reply to Modding in different languages in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I didn't implement it to automatically use different language folders because it would have made the code to read in the data more complicated and take longer. You can still get the same effect by making your mod names English, German, etc, and then zipping them all together in a zip file with the name of your mod. Then the user can extract whichever one they want to their mods folder.

Reply to AI getting worse in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

This is not a bug report. This is too vague for a bug report. Therefore, it does not belong in the bug report section.

Reply to Problems installing on Dell M70 in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

You could also archive your copy of GalCiv2 on your laptop and transfer the archives to your laptop (burn a disc, use a thumbdrive, etc). Then you would just need to install Stardock central and use it to restore the archives. You'll need to delete the sig.bin file so that it can re-activate on the laptop, though.

Reply to Help, Game is crashing without letting me load! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Well, he said it was working for 4 weeks. Nikes, you should probably un-install GC2 and uncheck show pre-release versions so that you can re-install 1.2. If you add these lines under Video in your Prefs.ini file (located in My Documents\My games\GalCiv2), it should force your card to run in hardware mode, which will give you better performance: NoPointSprites=1 GfxForceNoPointSprites=1 Also, if you didn't have mods on before when it was working, try dis
