[quote who="Annekynn" reply="51" id="3588995"] Thanks! Ill go try it right now. How are you getting the turns to complete correctly? Edit: game loads but as soon as I try to do anything (press button in bottom right, or try to colonize) it CTDs immediately [/quote] I was just loading it and hitting the turn button. Sorry about the CTD. I don't know why that h
@ Annekynn - I ran yours to the next turn too. Here's the save if you'd like to try it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9j-qzDTvZc8em5xTzVyUEEwM28/view?usp=sharing
@ a0152570 - I downloaded your save and ran it to the next turn. Here's the save from that point. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9j-qzDTvZc8NlBYZDlUZllyV28/view?usp=sharing Perhaps it'll work for you now that it's past the stuck point.
Good patch! Thanks! :)
The opt-in patch works! No more stuck game. :) Thanks, Stardock!
[quote who="marigoldran" reply="38" id="3588880"] Periods of turning the tax setting really low followed by tax settings really high is optimum for Breeder. The exact number varies, but you want to alternate between 100% morale and 40% morale. What you don't want is planets with 60-70% morale. [/quote] You are correct. I took it to more of an extreme though. 20% and 100% were my targets. At 20%, you don&#
[quote who="wpkelley41" reply="25" id="3588789"] A little enlightenment please. I purchased it, but haven't played a game with it yet. As far as the sandbox goes, how is this the best DLC ever? What changes can I look forward to? Thanks all. [/quote] Yes, the best DLC so far in GalCiv3. The Snathi are a blast to play as. I imagine they'd be fun to compete with. You just have to get into the evil squeeky voice mood before you load them up.
[quote]...Ultraterraforming tech is showing as OmegaTerraforming_Name. [/quote] That'll happen with games started before 1.3. They removed the Ultra Terraformer in 1.3 due to balancing issues, but the placeholder is still there for older games. It'll be gone completely when you start a new game.
This has been reported and they have a fix for it. It hasn't made it out to us yet, so we're on hold with our games until they roll it out. There's a thread here. Hopefully, they won't make us wait much longer for the fix. The new patch has been rolled out now and it works. It's an opt-in.
[quote who="chburbe" reply="41" id="3588837"] A somple Bug and simple to resolve! It happens every time, when you command 2 Ships/Fleets to move to each other!!! In the same turn... Just avoid this just let them (both) move to an empty tile and get them there combined. Had to save and reload a lot of times until I found it !!! regards Beat [/quote] That's an interesting
[quote quoting="post"] OK folks. I have never played a campaign. I only play sandbox games. This includes other games such as GalCiv 2, the Age of Empires series, Heroes of Might and magic, etc.. What am I missing? Are their some elements that don't make it to the sandbox? Will it make me a better player? I have to confess..,.I fell I'm a mediocre player at best and would get destroyed were I to play online, lol. Thanks to any who respond. [/quote] I think
[quote who="erischild" reply="19" id="3588676"] I love the Snathi. My cats, however, are convinced that all squirrels were always evil in the first place, especially the ones in our trees. [/quote] Your cats are correct.
[quote who="a0152570" reply="35" id="3588720"] Was just about to do a nasty post [e digicons]}:)[/e] . It is truly disappointing when this happens.. Will the fix work on a save game? [/quote] Indications look good since he couldn't reproduce the problem on one of my saves, but could on the other. I hope it works on saved games since my latest game just got stuck on wait. 4 in a row. I'm on hold until the update.
Awesome! Thanks, pshaw! +1 karma and if I could give you a dozen, I would. :)
Yeah, I tried to ignore the planetary wheel, but finally gave in. We need something to help us manage individual planets and for now, the wheel is our only tool. Hopefully, it'll be something as good or at least comparable when they change it.
The Snathi have quickly become my favorite race to play. I was kinda surprised to see another Snathi in my last game pop up as a minor, though. Unfortunately, that game got stuck in "WAIT" mode and I had to abandon it. I'm trying again as the Snathi though. Fingers crossed. This is by far the best DLC yet IMO. :)
[quote quoting="post"] I did not check out 1.3 yet as I stopped playing out of frustration. Maybe some bugs were already fixed in 1.3. -During battle, ships remind me of a fish swimming around bumping into each other without any logical purpose. -Weapons effect for all weapon type is almost the same. -Ideology has bugs, for example, good ideology should give you 150 research points when you choose that perk, (last row) it does not.
[quote who="redviper37" reply="22" id="3588428"] Stardock support gave me a test savegame with the Terrans on a smallish map. I tested this through 1100 turns and had zero CTD, zero stuck turn. They could not reproduce the problem with any of my saves, yet I was able to experience it on 2 different computers. At some point, I loaded an earlier save I made, to record AI behavior, and this one got stuck too, yet originally, I played beyond that. [/quote] <p
At 32GB RAM, mine doesn't seem to go to the paging file at all. I have mine set static at 102400MB. My GTX670 was DOA, so I'm stuck with my GTX760. Still, even with only 2GB of Video RAM, it handles GC3 well enough. I have a few FPSs and it does well on those too. I'll need more card for my flight sims though. Looking through the couch cushions for more change...
Let's see what we can do to help the devs hunt this one down. Anyone else with this problem up for it? Info like map sizes and DLC enabled would help. I uninstalled GalCiv3 (again) and deleted the folders mentioned in the support knowledge base. Since all of my games that got stuck were immense maps, I'm going to start another immense map, but this time with all DLC unchecked except for the Snathi. This pr
It happened again while I was playing as the Snathi. This is the third game in a row that has this problem. It's quite annoying to be playing and have the game just quit after more than 100 turns.
[quote who="peregrine23" reply="6" id="3588051"] This sounds like an exploit rather then a bug. It would be nice if they would do something about it, but if you want to work that hard to get around the rules, more power to you. [/quote] Yes, it's an exploit and not a bug. You could still do it even if they "fixed" it. You'd just have a lower starting pop to base it on. You can do this with the other races as well, but slower growth means it
[quote who="naselus" reply="1" id="3588031"] Push as much ram into it as you possible can. Most other stuff is largely secondary, tbh. I'm using a 4-core i5 3.4ghz with 16 gig of ram and a GTX 660 and I'm not really seeing much performance problem with 40+ AIs on a modded super-abundant insane map (1200+ planets) until quite late in the game; and it's the RAM which acts as the constraint rather than anything else. Taking it to 32GB or more i

[quote who="Syntax_VI" reply="4" id="3587978"] Maybe I'm missing something, but in 1.2 I could simply construct new citizens ad nauseam . My home planet had 650 citizens at some point, as my morale would allow for it. I didn't transport them there, I just built them. Never noticed population going down, perhaps it did. My cap was 150 or something. Does 1.3 at least stop you from building past the cap? [/quote] As Ryat said, yes you can build above the cap, but y
