Have not gotten the skin to actually appear on the Sidebar shin list yet. Can find no simple way to have it reread the skins that are in the WB directory. Have expanded it into the root of the WB directory and under it's own directory, restarted WB, but still no listing. Anyone have any ideas? Glenn
Yes, it does. Although I cannot seem to get WB to update it's sidebar skin list. There is no option to update list, have restarted it but no joy on getting the other skin listed
I hate to say it, but it is not ingenious. It only works if you have explored and colonized quite few systems, if you haven't you loss the game. I just played one that did just that. Glenn
Well all, you can flame me after I am done, but here it is In my opion, the game stinks. Ok, now my opservasions. I have played every 2x,3x and 4x space sims that have been released. Since oohhhhh back in 90, this one is not fun to play, yes I know that things are limited but, played a game, small galaxy, NO other players. After a long while, which unless you want to explore as fast as possible, which in this game I did. my 10th system I was greated by 20 pirate corsairs, and at least 10
I have no idea where these files are kept, tried searching for the file names the skin comes with, had no luck. I have looked through the windowblinds control panel and there is not way to add a sidebar skin to it. Any Ideas? Glenn
I am having some difficulties in getting the sound schemes I download to work in Vista. Does anyone know where do you put the sounds after downloading. I have already tried expanding them to the Windows directory, when you open up sounds they are not listed nor can you browse to them. Any help here would be apprieciated. Glenn
Pirates, man are they too aggressive as well as much harder than the races you are fighting. Entered a planetary area, 4 corsairs were there as well as 6 other types of ships, after defeating them, in less than 5 mins they were back with 2 corsiars and 2 siege ships. Not that I do not like a challenge but heck, had not even been able to research capital ships or use them. Does not make the game fun to have your planet under siege in less than 5 mins game time. This was with the other
Have noticed that the AI controlled races seem to have a larger and faster build even at the easy setting. By this I mean I can send my fleet of 6 frigates and my battleship to explore, after 2 or 3 systems, I run into one of the AI players. They have at least 10 light frigites if not more, and seem to get them to the battle much faster than I can. Quite honestly this is not fun, the farthest I have gotten into the game is about 2 hours by this time, the AI races completly wipe me off the
As I have only played beta 2 for a total of 3 hours, in my opion the combat sucked. Very slow and the combat AI when you first drop into a system is to attack anything and do it individually. Also, have noticed if you decide to build your race instead of exploring the first 3 or 4 dozen turns, the bounty on your head goes thourgh the roof, and if you hit any system with another AI in it, they have a minium of 10 units there to nail you as well as getting replacements to the battle faster t
I second that question, since the only programs Vista RC2 will accept is object dock, all others stop working.
Same issue here, will try the uninstall, reinstall GW
Posted this below the list of improvements for the beta 1.2 Have tried 3 new games after installing the 1.2 patch, each time when you look at the planet names this is what you see; Earth (String Not Found) 8. Anyone have any ideas?? GW
Found a problem, after installing the 1.2 updated all games now display the name of the planet then(String Not Found) and planet number. Have tried 3 new games of different sizes etc, with the same result. Anyone have any ideas GW
After updating GalCiv 2 to the newest version last night, the game now goes to a black screen and sits there. I have a .cra file for both crashes. I have also uninstalled the game until I hear back from you. Crash log below, I do have both the .cra and the .dmp files. I have just noted that my screen res was 1280x960 which is not the correct desktop I run, switched to 1280x1024. Glenn [SmartException] LastEx=GALCIV2.EXE F
Do not know where I should go to post this so I will start here. If anyone knows who I have to contact please leave a name or email. I preordered GALCIV2 as the beta was ongoing, I have downloaded and have been playing the game with little or no problems. Hats off to Stardock on that. But, I still have not reiceved my CE box. I have seen it int WalMart so I know it is out. What happened to the preorder CE boxes??????? GW<
Count me in, have done modding in Quake, Doom and a few others nothing published as far as I know. Will get the blender tonight and start experimenting. sent email to you address GW
Since the 3 build which I believe was .08, the mouse wheel tilt has stopped working. Nothing else in my system has changed, hardware, software or drivers, so I am at a loss as to why it has stopped working. I did report this problem with the beta, but the workaround which was installing the mouse driver and not the logitech software was working. Now it doesn't, On my win2k system the mouse wheel tilt does work. The XP SP2 home system is the
Duhhhhhh, ok homer get out of my mind. Sorry Thanks GW
OK, I found and downloaded the enable CE content file, but when I use it I get this message Now, is this something I have done, or do I not need to run that perticular file GW
Frogboy Just found out that my serial number I recieved from stardock for my preorder, is not a CE serial number!!!! Tried to enter it into the CE serial number field for the additional downloads, but is says that it is not REGISTERED as a CE. Now this is from you all, direct, any ideas as to what may have happened???? GW
Awsome tale there. Can't wait to sink my teeth into the full game. GW
Honestly Drag, you should publish the manuscript. It reads well in the synapsis you presented. (Have no Idea if I spelled that correctly) I have been a Sci-Fi junkie since I was 6 years old, watching the orignal Star Trak, playing the original Galac Civ on OS/2. I even tried my hand at written, suffice to say I was not good at it. GW
I too have to throw a large kudos to Stardock and all the beta testers involved in this project. I have been involved in only one other beta that the Devs and beta group have duplicated the effort and qaulity that Stardock has shown. GW
You have just experianced the Microsoft plan, replace gaming console every year, but no backward combatiblity. Quite honestly I can't believe that, I have been dealing with microsoft for over 16 years and they have not changed this problem since they started producing games, OS's, or applications. Welcome to the world of Microsoft, GW
