Switched to Cakewalk.....

Still got my rear waxed (:(
With the Galaxy set to Gigantic, I was able to sit in the corner for about 10 turns before the Dregins delared war (Super sensors I guess) and then everyone else followed shortly afterwards. Still didn't run into any of them yet.

I noticed that in the most recent build ship movement seems allmost slugish. Speaking of ships, no mater how much I research (with the exception of my Survey ship), none of the ships that I find or build seem to be able to stand up to anyone.

On that note... And there is no pun intended... How about adding a "Stardock" at some point. That way the Survey ship docks and all other ships that dock get repaired and upgraded with new weapons and technology.

Ships in orbit defend the entire system but seem to be able to witstand only one hit. I've been playing with colonizing more than one planet in a system (especialy Sol) and shouldn't a ship only be able to defend only one planet in the system.

I still can't seem to get anything to post to the Metaverse. I thought that it might be ZoneAlarm blocking but I checked that and ZA likes GalCiv fine and it won't even post with it disabled.

One last thing, the Terrans keep wanting to attack LOL

Have a great Hump Day!! :D

IT's not looking like you're using the latest versionof galciv. Drengin serial # is not getting recorded.

Chris,

Did you need to disable ZoneAlarm to download the Beta? I'm having lots of trouble downloading it.

Joe,

Nope haven't ever had a problem with it, ZA looks at it one time and as soon as I say it's OK it doesn't bother me again untill something gets updated. If you have been able to download everything else with the DGM it would highly be unlikely to be your problem.

Pat,

Just downloaded it and I'll let you know

Pat,

That did the Trick. I know this is a stupid question but I thought DGM was self updating? Thanks for the help. Did a note get posted about the version? I probibly just missed it :)

Thanks Again!!!

The DGM is supposed to be self updating but the previous builds had a bug in the auto update code so its possible it would not auto update. Hopefully it will work correctly from this point on.

That's it, I'm switching to a typewriter. This computer stuff is just a fad. A fad I tell you!
