[quote who="G_Kar" reply="27" id="3456338"] I downloaded about 53% of alpha, it took me 3 days cause I have 500 MB. Now steam starts downlading from zero. Thanks a lot ...[/quote] What kind of connection are you on. The game is only 1.8GB

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="8" id="3456366"] Because that's always gone so well, right? [/quote] They've already tried it twice with DX10 and DX11.2. Why break the cycle now.

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="8" id="3456371"] Sooo galciv will eventually use it? I thought it was 10 or 11?[/quote] Even from MS DX12 isn't really fleshed out yet. They're expecting games that use it to come out in 2015 I also am wary that MS will basically kneecap it by making it Windows8.1 only.

Your windows username is ParagonRenegade too? HARD CORE! Might want to include if you or DARCA was hosting. Since the crash might be on the client or server code

Dunno you'll have to wait to see if Stardock can figure out why laptop GPUs seem to have issues with the game.

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="4" id="3456349"] Considering Windows 7 maintains 60% market share compared to ~25% to 8/8.1, as well as being used by businesses almost 100% of the time, it would be shockingly stupid for Microsoft to not support it.[/quote] That would magically assume the MS actually cares about its customers and not pushing the utter debacle that is Windows 8/8.1 Note that 1) DX10 was only made available to Vista, not XP 2) DX11.2 is a

Considering the odds of MS supporting DX12 on Win7 is basically zero DX12 will be as much a tech dead end as DX10 was

Yeah all those 'auto switch' technologies for laptops were a bit of a wonky thing....

[quote]-I don’t like having to move all ships/research etc before you can finish the turn.Is there a way to bypass this. This may cause a problem in bigger games and make it boring.[/quote] If you want to disable ALL these notifications 1) Press ~ 2) Type in "turnactions" This disables ALL such notifictaons on the turn button. Note you will miss idle colonies, research, production, etc so be warned.

I find your funding model highly contradictory! First you say this [quote quoting="post"] The main funding source: DLC [/quote] Then you say the next DLC is [quote] The next DLC: Spouses [/quote] I know for a fact my spouse is definitely a net loss in terms of revenue! I also got ripped off because I paid for the "Premium Spouse DLC" but they didn't tell me there was an on-going subscription cost of clothing and shoes t

I thought that was a tech age in GalCiv3 when I read the title [e digicons]X|[/e]

Are you forcing the Nvidia card via the Nvidia Control Panel?

I wonder if there's something unique that needs to be done to get laptop GPUs working. I've found that AMD laptops GPUs are a tad' fussy' in terms of how they work sometimes. Can you try the following and see if this helps? Its a copy/paste from Payday2 but might be something that helps for GalCiv3. If not its something much lower level. DO NOT SET PAYDAY 2 TO HIGH PERFORMANCE! Follow the instructions below to set the CCC prop

[quote who="Vanadrom" reply="16" id="3456018"] You must have missed the conclusion of my last post. Yet this is a tangent and not related to the subject matter of the original topic.[/quote] Again even if its a tangent, I'm not even clear waht the point of that was.

You seem to be a bit all over the place in terms of your points. Which makes it difficult to actually understand what you're trying to communicate. It really feels like you're just throwing things out haphazardly without something to tie it all together. [quote]You might find it to be useless to have something added into the game, but if I was to drop money on the Founder's Elite package for GalCiv III -- the vast majority of my feedback would be centered around usability.

[quote who="pcreator" reply="12" id="3454463"] It would be nice to get a minor update that fixes the Failed to Start Game (Missing Executable) error that I get every time I click play.[/quote] Try deleting the appcache folder as indicated here https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8676-EFLX-7453 Your anti-virus may also be part of the issue as that may block th einstallation of specific files

Are you forcing the Nvidia GPU via the Nvidia Control PaneL? Normally games don't see the AMD/Nvidia mobile chipsets unless they are explicitly forced via their respective tools. It likely means the game is using your Intel card, rather than your Nvidia one.

[quote who="yee2326" reply="5" id="3455957"] After i update all drive including intel, I have solve the missing text by disable the graphic card but it slow down the graphic 90% speed which is unacceptable to play. When and where i can install the next patch? [/quote] Speak of the devil it JUST came out [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Try forcing the AMD card and see if that helps

I'd likely say normal given that the first thing that runs is "gc3_wipe_prefs.exe" [e digicons]8C[/e]

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="5" id="3455972"] All of those fixes with so little code? [/quote] Steam does 'delta' patches now. So it only downloads the parts of the file that changed, not the entire file itself. So while the 13MB GalCiv3.exe is updated, only a small portion that changed is compressed, and transmitted to you. At which point the system re-creates the new file from the delta and the original. As an extreme example.

On a more serious note, the gc3_wipe_prefs.exe seems to 'stall' on my system? I see that process and a .tmp process from Stardock DeskScapes running. I might wait a few more minutes but I'm tempted to kill it. nm seems to have finished. though i was closing out iTunes and Word at the time. Maybe related? Maybe coincidence. Actually also IE was doing something funky on my system.... so maybe just disregard? I figured out it was

YOU ARE NOT DOWNLOADING THOSE 5MB FAST ENOUGH STEAM! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!! [e digicons]>:([/e]
