Reply to 1.6 Full, Memory Crash in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Tracking down a memory leak is a very difficult task to do with tools, much less manually. Let me just say that if the enterprise software I use was supported as well as Stardock supports GalCiv2, I wouldn't push freeware open-source software as much as I do. For goodness' sakes, they just rewrote large portions of their graphics engine to provide better performance for people with older rigs. That kind of refactoring is usually hard as anything to justify to management, even though in the en

More analogous to parking a fleet off of someone's coast. Might not start a war immediately, but it'll sure raise tensions (which it does in-game).

This kind of post-release support--on a game that, frankly, wasn't half as bug-ridden as most released today--is what will bring me back to Stardock when they publish a game in a genre I'm interested in. Fantastic work! Now, if I can only get some of the corporate enterprise software vendors to take Stardock's cue... Oh, and I'm also a huge Rush fan. Oaks and Maples, indeed - hah hah.

Thanks a lot!

Game Setup question in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

When setting up a new game, if you don't set up the other races' abilities by using their points, will they automatically use their points during the game setup? If not, doesn't that put them at somewhat of a disadvantage? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Reply to Labs, Factories, and Focus in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

If you're going with an all-factories build, instead of using ability points on research, why not focus them on diplomacy or even use the Super Diplomat super ability? Well-played, and with a bit of luck, you might be able to have an all-factory build with most abilities in production and economics and use diplomacy to keep up in the tech race. You'll probably always be behind by a little bit, but the extra production should give you the ability to throw out enough just-barely-obsolete ships i

Thanks everyone. I'll check it out on the Foreign Relations screen and restart if necessary Cheers!

Any way to see AI level in-game? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I started a game which I thought was on Suicidal, but none of the AIs seem to be expanding. Is there any way to check the AI level while I'm in-game? Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "floor"? Is it a ROUNDDOWN() function?

Reply to Game needs very looong for startup in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I have a similar hang-time, though just when loading (or starting a new) game. My machine is definitely on the low-low end, so my guess has been that GalCiv2 is writing a ton of info to the pagefile (which I've kicked up to 2GB to compensate for the measley 256MB RAM I have). I'll try to post my debug.err file and detailed system specs later.
