[quote who="mrblondini" reply="19" id="3697084"] What's your Mega Events setting, MortisBlack? [/quote]iirc normal may take a scorched earth approach and nuke the install and start again...
[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="16" id="3697071"] Quoting MortisBlack, reply 14 i ahve never completed a GC3 game as there is something missing and i believe it is the dreadlords and now they will always be missing The Dread Lords are not missing. They are part of the Mega Event D
I am disappointed by the decision to scrap/indefinitely postpone the only two DLC i have been looking forward too and now that bitter pill has dropped so has my interest in GalCiv 3 which surprises me since i have been a fan for nearly two decades....i ahve never completed a GC3 game as there is something missing and i believe it is the dreadlords and now they will always be missing All i wanted was to give the galaxy a big Korath hug at gunpoint while stamping on the amateurs th
looking forward to the next one cant wait to see what happens with the intergalactic Mormons! also will brad be including his "Wardellian faction" since i may need some(more)space slaves :)
i fully agree that change is absolutely needed for SD's vision to be achieved while mods are a nice bonus it kind of makes sense that some authors decide to wait to update things especially when a game is updated/altered as much as this one is :) and only SD knows how crusade will affect(non race/ship mods)when it drops i think my biggest issue is impatience/confusion with the game and how its modded from different sources workshop(personally dislike this option),nexus,these forums
i have FIXED the content locked issue! a few weeks ago i had trouble downloading something from windows 10 store and i contacted their support staff who were FANTASTIC they had me run a few things that failed and then they asked if i would be comfortable with them having remote access to my system since i ahve nothing "sensitive" on this particualr machine i agreed and watched what they did it took them 6 or 7 tries to find the exact casue and it turned out that the winsock protocols had beco
never had this issue with any game hell i never even knew this WAS an issue until today... tried every fix i have found and i STILL get the same issue all i wanted to do was play the game with a few mods and i have wasted 2days trying to get it to work and currently feeling burned out really really tired of BS issues that should not exist.. hell skyrim is one of the buggiest,glitch prone games i own and its still nowhere near as bad as this game at the moment...i can have skyrim i
Modding the game is now a MOOT issue as i still get the content file locked C:\ Steam\steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\Tools\core compiler.bat. i guess stardock has revoked my paid for ownership of the game now they have my cash they don't care it or works or not... <span
will try you suggestions also the gradients GFX folder is only there as a temp measure until/if the game installs spent some of the wait time building the mod folder...but seems pointless modding the thing with so many out of date mods atm and with the changes coming with CRUSADE i can see the rest being borked as well.... of course me getting crusade is entirely dependant on the game actually installing and working..fully expecting to see content file locked mess
now i am getting content file locked C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\Tools\core compiler.bat....getting real tired of trying to play this game... above issue was hopefully "fixed" by deleting steam\steamapps\downloading folder...will find out in 1hr and 10mins... NOT FIXED still has that message... Is steam being retarded? <span style="color: #dbdbdb; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-sty
will do once game finishes installing...on that not when i installed last night it installed and finsihed today it is needing several updates which i assume is to install the DLC is it possible that previous updates went wrong on steams end if?
currently no mods are working at all still trying to find the reason
After stepping away from the issues and going to bed (it was almost 3am when i posted) and coming back my irritation has dispersed and re reading my last post comes across as a childish tantrum and that's not how i wanted to appear so apologies for that! just really irritating when features that are advertised as working don't work and 12+ hours are spent trying to make something work is nothing but wasted time and effort i will reinstall the game today and try and find the is
NO WORRIES GUYS! solved the issue by uninstalling all mods and the game and DLC since i did that it has not crashed on me once! wasted an entire day trying to get this game working with the features and upgrades i wanted to no avail after deactivating mods and restarting the game decides to start crashing when i try and start a new game...so decided to cut my losses in time and money and say fuck it try again in SIX months+ glad i still have GAlCI
as far as i can find they are up to date as for knowing they are not working its simple the "Star Trek Colors" mod adds more options to ship color pallet at race creation and does not show up and a few of the others alter perk choices and they are not showing either i double checked before posting decided to open debug.err in notepad++ and found a ton of entries like this Debug Message: No files found matching mask C:\Users\MortisBla
I have several mods i want to use however the only mods that are working are the steam workshop(gag) mass effect races... as i understand galciv 3 modding i place each mods folder in C:\Users\ MortisBlack \Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Mods...which i have done and not a single mod will work I HAVE enabled mod option and restarted the game..... DLC OWNED/INSTALLED: Map pack Altarian Prophecy Mega Events Precursor Wo
that's about what i thought... no real issue with downloading from the store just inconvenient and slow(not my connection as i have tested it on the same size downloads) Thanks for the reply!
i too have returned(kind of) after being disappointed in November that the game had so many many issues and while its not 100% better it IS improving as the days/weeks/months pass as more improvements are made i will start budgeting for DLC content and i hope one day GC3 is my go-to game for strategic space empires (currently though GC2 still holds the number 1 slot for me) @stardock thanks and good luck! @frogboy welcome back and good luck!
i have Sins of a Solar Empire -Trinity and GalCiv II: Ultimate Edition on stardock.com and just wondering if i could use the keys i have there on Steam so that they are just a few clicks away from install instead of having to download launchers,select launcher and choose install paths each time i want to play them? or would i have to repurchase them through steam?
definatly NOT a mindless shooter for da epic loootzzzz..(screw bethesda for ruining fallout) ahem now that that is out of the way all 4x games proceed at YOUR pace nothing will happen untill you hit the TURN button so there is absolutly no tun pressure even the drengin have to wait their turn it is not uncommon for galciv games to run to 400+ turns with allsorts of completly surprising twists and turns (once had the altarians surrender within 20 turns) &nb
Greetings just wondering if the game is worth playing now not played since 1.2 due to constant broken saves and laggy crap.. has the game improvesd to the point of long term playability or does it still bug out at random?
Any one else finding custom races NOT being recognized those downloaded from here and the hated steam workshop?? Mods are active in game options and i have checked my factions folder and all are present and correct and my subscription races but they just WILL NOT show in race selection panel... was fine before this opt in EDIT: This seems to have fixed itself somehow guess i just had a lazy mod folder

We can hope for an extractor but it that does not mean it will happen while i like steam i don't trust them for mods if that makes sense.. used it once for mods and it buggered my install and then there's the whole loss of control with updates etc and the shady crap steam tried to pull with paid mods and that whole can of trouble.. this could be used as an interim until/if a secondary mod site/extr
