refugees in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

just thinking that it would be pretty interesting and add realism if, during war, there were refugees coming from the frontier worlds (especially the lower-class and less-developed ones) into the core and higher-class/development parts of the empire. could potentially lower approval rating in the destination worlds as the new strain on resources takes its toll and just have an overall social impact. i dont know, this might already be the fact in the game, but i havent really noticed it if so

yeah mine is a 64 MB vid card (for some reason thought it was a 128 but eh) but still... other games, like Civ4 or KOTOR that are quite graphic/system-resource-heavy work perfectly but it is just the Dark Avatar that's screwing up for me but also, i've gone to that site (laptopvideo2go.com) and the driver uploads dont work i have Windows Vista 32-bit, and it says that the system i'm operating on is not Vista 32. and also, i have NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 graphics card, and yet its tryin

i have the same exact problem as jk5004 it has happened repeatedly i have played 4 games (tried to, anyway). there is no consistent time (eg. amount of turns or date) that it freezes. it just randomly freezes after hitting the turn button. cant move, cant scroll, cant access the menu, cant even really close except for ctrl/alt/del just as jk5004, no debug.err file appears and i've searched various folders even beyond the Stardock folders i got 32-bit Vista, NVIDIA GeForce Go

i say the Terrans should be axed. those pesky apes have been soiling the galaxy for far too long (i say this because in a game i'm playing currently, they are my biggest competitors, but i have the virtue of a) owning about 85% of the United Planets seats so voting is just a formality, b) i have the most advanced anti-missile and anti-beam defenses, and b) i have the most advanced missi

ok ya it works after installing the new driver i'm not noticing all the bugs that others noticed in-game, but maybe it was cuz of the euphoria of actually being able to PLAY lol but it was fun playing for the first time... all 3 hours long

ok i take back what i said... it WAS my computer, after all - my ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP had a 2004 driver on it. i got a link to install a newer version so i will try that and hopefully it works after that... i hate it when i'm wrong but if i am, i'll be one of the first to admit it sorry, stardock people lol

well tell me this: how come i can play civ4 which is supposed to have even higher sysreq just fine, with only occasionally it taking a second to move some units to the next square, but i can't even start a game on this. that's why i don't think it's an issue with my computer, because civ4 which has just the same, if not higher, standards, runs fine so don't go jumping on me cuz there's a reason i posted and said what i said. i didnt just come to ***** and moan cuz my computer is 5 year

Reply to *** How was this game Released?*** in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

i can't even play the game - can never get past that "loading game" screen that you get after you've already selected all the civ and galaxy parameters and what-not, cuz it crashes out for me and i gotta restart the computer and i do have the directx 9.0c, and ny conmputer meets the system requirements for $40 and to not even be able to play it? i'm gonna be criticizing, cuz i paid my money and i can't even use the product, and if the store doesnt take it back cuz the box is open
