Greetings, The hot fix has made game unplayable. It keeps locking up my computer. Please remove hot fix immediately! Moser
I started playing GalCivII again after a few year hiatus! :)
Hi, its been quite awhile since I posted here. I'm just about done with a game using 1.4. After I finish it, I'll give a DA a try.
Well I finally completed playing all the races and got my new shiney. I'm going back to custom races now. I think that its too bad that you don't get an all-victory type medal too.
Victory using Korx! 8 down and 2 to go for all races played.
I just finished another game with another race (The Terrans). I only have a few more races to go to have won with all races.
I finished a game with latest beta and the biggest problem that I had was random CTDs. Hopefully they can get these ironed out.
I finally finished my tenth game with a Yor military victory.
Well I finished a tech victory which actually was fairly hard. This was due to the fact that the last AI's planets were "flipping" and I had to make sure I didn't win a conquest victory before I finished last tech.
I finally got another game finished. It looks like with the score inflation that I'll be hard pressed to stay in top 250. And I lost my former Top 25 medal to boot.
I just finished game 6 with a conquest victory. Thankfully the Terrans surrendered to bring the game to an end. I just can't see score milking when I can be starting another game.
Finally checking in. The forums tend to be so slow that I don't have the patience to wait for threads to load sometimes.
I think that I found one source of the game locking up. The Monster Anomaly (type 12) appears to lock the game up. While scanning the anomalies within anomalies.xml, I noticed the first anomaly was Monster1. I had never seen the monster yet and at first I thought that was the result of the occurence setting of 3. Since I had successfully tested individual anomilies that I modded by creating a .xml file with just the anomaly being tested, I decided to check out the monster by using anomalies.x
Yup, the metaverse is not always correctly showing the difficulty for games. I finished a "maso" game and it showed up as normal. I hope this isn't affecting the scoring too. :/
Ignore above post (edit seems laggy too). The score finally updated after a 10 minute lag.
Hmmm...I played a Medium game that I started using metaverse downloaded conditions. After finishing and submitting it, the game shows in profile but is not counted in rankings. Does this mean that custom races created using the program do not count as metaverse friendly? Edit: nevermind, it seems the metaverse is very slow to update.
No tactical
Good stuff! Thanks! Just what I was looking for.
Hmmm..well here's what I did to move from drive c to drive e...1) Archive GC2 program, multimedia, etc seperately using SDC 2)when SDC asks you if you want to archive everything while doing main GC2 program choose "no" since that will archive the multimedia, etc with the main program and mess up updates, 3)after archiving is done, uninstall GC2. 4)change install directory setting in tools-->settings-->games 4)restore GC2 and all other parts of game. 5-10 minutes max on my slower machine. <
Yup everyone probably switched to US-4 because its really bogging down right now.
I would have to honestly say that my chances of using a multi-player feature in GC2 are next to nothing. Also I would say that its naive to think that a majority of the people who purchase GC2 are any different than me. Afterall the reason that GC is popular in its 4X niche is the strong single player gameplay. If I ever want to play multiplayer strategy, I will play a game specificly designed for it. <img src="smiles/Smile.
Hmmm...I have access to the gamma builds with less than Diplomat status. And yes I'm sure, since I have 0.90[b].013 downloaded which has the campaign. I guess that I slipped through the cracks. BTW it looks great from my cursory look.
To get around this problem, I manually deleted those old ship designs by going to: Document and Settings/Owner/MyDocuments/MyGames/GalCiv2/Ships folder in XP. In fact all of the various save files are in that "GalCiv2" folder.
