[quote who="gypsy2299" reply="2" id="3975170"] Quoting Draver, reply 1 Hiya! Did you manage to get this fixed ? Kinda strange that it stopped working all of a sudden. Had a problem where a previous game I was playing failed to close and this happened to me while I tried to verify files on exit
You get the idea. Downloaded the latest patch from Steam last night (7/27) and started game from Steam. This morning it wouldn't start from shortcut, from right-clicking file, nor from Steam. Confirmed files, deleted, reinstalled, it just keeps reloading the loader. Steam sent me here. Other Steam linked games work fine. Most were updated in the past week or so.
So if I understand, the game I purchased for testing, which became the basic game only available through Epic, is not available to Steam. So to play the game I tested on my preferred platform -- Steam. Now, to be able to play I either need to purchase the new version or deal with Epic's constant bombardment of advertising games I have no interest in or log in every time I feel like playing yours. Thanks for the information. This is likely the last Stardock product I will invest in.</p
[quote who="Rhonin_the_wizard" reply="22" id="3842358"] Here are the instructions from Avast on how to exclude files. https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Antivirus-scan-exclusions [/quote] Didn't work still error code LS-0013
And for some of us... How to do that for Avast? The launcher is allowed and GCIV doesn't have a listing in active or inactive programs. Edit: Error code is: LS-0013
[quote who="Rhonin_the_wizard" reply="12" id="3841654"] This can be caused by a 3rd party program. [/quote] So you're saying that third party software that worked fine with the previous version broke your update?
Why would I use a construction material I haven't found in my Solar System to build anything?
Festron Unlocked - Anyone who has played against the Festron knows that once they get onto your planets they slowly start to consume your citizens and replace them with new Festron. But, playing as the Festron you get to control this process. Anytime you have a foreign species on your planet (not counting the Yor or Onyx Hive, who are immune to this) you can select to Consume the foreign citizen. Doing so produces a new Festron with all the traits of the citizen
If the Game Turn is still supposed to be a week long, it actually makes more sense for the delay than to not have it. It will take longer than a day after giving the order to load everything you need for an invasion into the ship to send it on its way.
TY for the information.
I landed a colony ship on a nice little 15 rated world. A few turns later I checked in. My colony is now in the hands of a Pirate Group. No notice, no warning -- poof, it's gone. All your colony now belong us. I sent a ship over to investigate; there was no Pirate ship in the area. When the ship I sent would have contacted the colony -- it vanished. I suppose it too is now under control of the Pirates. I rage quit. This morning I decided to find out if anyone knows how and why

@WakingGiant This is an Alpha. I'm pretty sure the final release, like most current strategic level games, will have an Ironman mode.

I think this was mentioned in one of the DDs. When you create a Core World you put the surrounding colonies under its control. This is to lower the need to micro every colony.
GalCiv4 Forums
The Core world is a trade center. Any colony closer to the new Core would automatically deliver there. Lower shipping costs. Maybe it could change over time; they don't all change at once.
I thought along similar lines. I imagine it would be easier to update as well. The one all the fuss was over has "Intrigue" and "Crusade" on the cover and is dated 2018. Still useful, and I may go back and replay the campaign from Intrigue, but before that a lot of good changes hadn't been made yet.
How do you stop something from rotating? The piece in question is the Supply Module from the Raider Fleet set for a custom race. The one available for the design set counter-rotates two double-ended cargo boxes around a central shaft. When not spinning they are a perfect fit for a GP Cargo Hull I designed. I can get them to stop in the design screen when I attach them and then save. But when I click on it on the main design window it pops up and the screen and the parts are ro
I never thought I would ever say this, but MS Defender's Firewall is user friendly compared to some. But as you say, since the firewall came with the Avast package it is pretty much the one the rest of the package works best with. Can't live without them though. and this one's caught stuff. So I'll fight with its foibles and complain when I have trouble with something. ,
I'll send it to Avast and get them to whitelist it. I really appreciate you trying to help with this.
I got it downloaded -- by clicking the DL arrow every time it kicked back the write to disk error. The problem started at around 285 - 300 MB and after I punched it all the way to a bit past 500 MB, it took over and finished the DL. I scanned the GalCiv folder and a couple of the files in it and a couple of sub folders and there isn't any viruses flagged. It all seems in working order. Still, I wish I could figure out what the issue is. It's going to bug me for a bit..
[quote who="Rhonin_the_wizard" reply="7" id="3798142"] Have you tried making an exception to the Steam.exe? It is the program that downloads the file. [/quote] Yep. Steam.exe -- called by the title Steam Client Bootstrapper -- is on the exclusion list since before this issue. Did I mention it was only GalCiv -- both 2 and 3, by the way -- that is having the issue. So.... Could you guys hurry 4 along for me. I'd appreciate that.[e digicons]:roll
Yes for the specific file. It didn't change anything. I've tried on a variety of levels from just the file name to the entire Steam pathway.
[quote who="Rhonin_the_wizard" reply="3" id="3797590"] What anti-virus do you use? [/quote] Avast
I made the file an exception, specifically gave it the "allow" through the firewall and past the virus checker -- no go. Between my last Windows, drive, game and viral updates it doesn't want to play. Even turned off my incoming virus scan to see if that would work. The manual still hangs up. I'll look into Whitelisting, but that seems to be run through the dev's website and has forms. It may take a few days to clear the time and it won't be an instant fix. For now I'll just g
So is this the start of Dev Diaries for Gal Civ IV? [e digicons]B)[/e]
I followed all of Steam's troubleshooting plans; uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times; I've rebooted as well. It only happens with GC III. I loaded two other games from Steam after this error started. It stops around the time 300 MB gets downloaded. I don't know if anyone else is having the issue. I lost my drive recently and this is a fresh install.
