Reply to Chopping Gameplay + Messed UP Graphics "HELP" in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I think in your last post when you ask 'why' you then answer your own question, in that the extra features, both grpahical and AI intensive, could account for the differences between the two. I am a little surprised when you note... quote With me i can talking 3 ships on screen. The thing is i dont get any slow down on DL and no graphics glitches on DL at all. Ive just recently tested DL with all my system settings on high and on the gigantic map settings with all oppone

I managed to find that other post that you were mentioning... Post with similar problem So if you play Dread Lords on ANY setting, that is suitable for your PC, and all is fine...??? If you play the equivelent game with DA then the game gives you the problems that you have noted, and is similar to the above screenshots...??? Ok accepting the above this is what I have found on my system... <br

Reply to Dark Avatar latest release 1.50x.072 Crashes repeatedly in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I too am getting CTD's with this latest version, the bug reports along with a saved game, Smart Exception zip file and debug.err have been sent to the bug team. I too was getting a pop up asking whether to send the error data to Microsoft BUT for me that only happened after each time presing the turn button caused the CTD then it started popping up after about four or five tries of pressing that button. I decided to completely remove the game and install it again. I st

Thanks for your prompt response. I have done as suggested. As well as sending the ExceptionLog.zip I have also sent the saved game that reproduces the CTD each and every time the turn button is pressed. Also I have sent my debug.err file. I really hope that I am able to continue this campaign.

Reply to Is trading techs always a problem for poor old Yor.......? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

mmm I hadn't thought of the possiblity that the latest patch might be a factor, as I mentioned I hadn't played Yor before so I assumed that it might just be because of their general lack of diplomacy and influence. Even though I have increased my diplomatic skills, to where I have an incredible advantage over the race that I'm trying to trade with, I find that almost every offer, no matter how heavily biased it is in their favour, is rejected. FWIW I am only playing at the 'tou

Hello This is the first time that I have tried to play as the Yor and, as I have always played as the Terran alliance before, I am struggeling to build and maintain relationships, particularily regarding trading techs. Is it more to do with the fact that playing as the TA they had an advantage when it came to trading techs that the poor old Yor can't ever come close to....? Even other races that can be friendly or warm to me really don't want to do a deal. I have even

Can I purchase the game this way....? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Hello I have bought and loved the Galac Civ II game and now I'm wanting to buy the Dark Avatar expansion. I live in the UK and wondered because I know someone who has bought this already from you could I make a copy of his discs and then purchase it from you via the Digital Download which, I assume, would provide me with my own license key for updates / registration etc etc etc....? That way it would save me such a big download and yet allow me to have paid for this re

Humbled in the context of me being soooo lazy in not bothering to have any other linguistic skills, and not being particularly

Reply to 1.3 beta 3 bugs thread in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

@ignuss When I reported (SEVERAL times) the Droid Sentry bug I was informed by Kryo on the last occasion... Right now the devs are concentrating on changes/fixes to the internals of the game, things which cannot be modded by users. They are aware that there are issues like these, but time and budget limit them from fixing them right now when other larger bugs exist. ...so it might seem that those type of bugs are not at the top of the devs priorities in f
