[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="5" id="3546897"] I used the latest opt-in build to test and verify that it works. [/quote] It works FOR YOU. I learned early in my thirty seven years of developing software that "It works here" is not the end of diagnosing a problem, it's a point of reference where comparisons of the differences in the environments can lead to a discovery of the real problem. Hence my asking if using a different leader portrait/race icon could

[quote who="AvatarRob" reply="2" id="3546883"] Heard something about it being tied to certain graphic drivers? Have a Geforce GT 750M with 4 Gb RAM myself, and have the latest GeForce driver installed. It seems like it doesn't reset properly after watching that one battle and when recalled upon just hangs. [/quote] That has been my own impression. I have a GeForce GTX 780M, also with 4G, also with the latest driver. I can usually watch more than two battles,

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="3" id="3546860"] Tested and verified that it is working here. [/quote] On .97.5? If so, then why didn't it work for me? Was it the leader portrait/race icon that wasn't part of the vanilla game? Or the fact that I got the cultural achievement on the same game?

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="6" id="3546834"] Game crashed after first turn on tutorial, and how do I sponser a shipyard. [/quote] 1. Select the shipyard. 2. Select Manage 3. In the lower left, choose Edit Sponsors 4. Choose an available planet and click "Assign" If you already knew that and just meant that the tutorial should tell you that, then never mind.

You should be running Beta 6, which shows Ver .97 in the lower right of the main menu. Right click on GC in the Steam list of your games, select Properties, and go to the Betas tab. What does it show? Mine shows "opt-in - v0.97 Opt-in".

The race was made with the ingame editor with .97.5. The only thing non-vanilla about it was that I used race leader portraits and a race icon that had been uploaded here. I used no console commands.

Ticket? I opened one but it was rejected because while I had the freeze on .95.5, I had started the game on .95 and loaded it after the .95.5 update.

I would never have noticed this since I never use the default screen.

I just won a game with a custom faction and did not get the "Built From Nothing" achievement, which is for a win with a custom faction. I have gotten 4 other achievements, so it might just be a problem with this one.

It happened on a Yor starbase also, but not on a Pirate shipyard. Anyway, I have a saved game that seems to reproduce the problem, so I've opened ticket #RME-280-14194.

In a game started on .97.5, I have now twice seen battles where the viewer shows the enemy firing lasers, missiles, and guns, while my ships (armed only with missiles) are not shown firing at all. Yet I win the battle. In both cases it was my 4 stinger-armed medium hull ships against a Yor starport. Battles against starbases and fleets have gone normally, it's only these two battles against starports that have had the problem. And there's nothing carried over f

"Let's talk about ... "? Do you mean "I would like to speak to you about something."? As far as I know it's not implemented yet, unless it's used in multiplayer (which I haven't tried). There's no way yet to ask the AI to destroy their starbase. It's been asked for, but if it ever happens it'll be later than next Thursday. All you can do in the meantime is try to buy it or declare war and destroy it.

And [quote who="aerez4546" reply="1" id="3546435"] Even though this is a "release candidate", it is still beta. I doubt you are going to see anything of permanence until the game is officially released. [/quote] And possibly for a while after that. The Metaverse for GC2 was up and running when the game went public, but the scores were wiped about a week later. I had the #1 position for a day during that time, but lost it when the scores were wiped (which is

[quote who="ManiiNames" reply="1" id="3546305"] Things change between releases, suggest start a new game. [/quote] Yeah, I know, it's just that I haven't been able to finish a game since Beta 3 [e digicons]:P[/e]

I saw something similar - a brief waiting for other player message and then a starport management screen for an idle starport. I assume that it was the next item in the queue, if I'd had an idle planet I'd have seen what you did. I opened a support ticket.

Custom race, Terran tech tree, Beta 6 opt-in .97, with a game started on .95. The tech tree says that Orbital Institute is unlocked by the Research Matrix tech, but I've been able to build it on several star bases even though I've only researched Integrated Research, the tech before Research Matrix.

[quote who="peregrine23" reply="1" id="3546091"] What's the bug here? [/quote] I assume it's that Cultural Festival is listed multiple times under Available Projects.

I got a freeze on the battle viewer (not invasion) on .97. I opened ticket ASC-417-58043.

Sounds sorta similar to a bug I reported in an earlier beta, where a planet culture-flipped to me but there was still an AI ship in orbit. The developers said that bug had been fixed, but I have been unable to confirm it. Anyway, yes, this sounds like a bug to me. You should edit your original post, select "GC3 Support" from the Categories drop-down list in the header, and then submit the edited post to move it to the Support forum where the developers will see it sooner.&

I think I might have reported this in an earlier beta, but now in Beta 6 it's still happening. Note that I had started this game before the latest (today) opt-in patch, but it was happening before today's patch also. I have a number of treaties that should net me +6 per week: (And by the way, note that the details of the treaties slop over the bottom edge of the

[quote who="Old-Spider" reply="48" id="3546008"] When zoomed out on the map, whatever is selected has an obvious ring around it, making it a lot easier to find. [/quote] Fantastic change! My old eyes greatly appreciate it!

Was that in a game started with 6.2, or one started earlier?

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="2" id="3545864"] I have not heard of any way to toggle anything on/off on the main map, but there are a few I would like to see in addition to trade routes and shipyard sponsor lines,. I would like to toggle relics, resources, asteroids, anomalies, ships, planets, stars, just about anything each independently of each other, while viewing the main map in tactical mode, at least when zoomed out to the extreme. I would also like to be able to see wh
