System Spec: P4 2.4 gig, 256 meg DDR 2300, ATI 64 meg onboard graphics, onboard audio, directx9.0c Dell System Windows 2000 pro. Game will install, when you try to start, goes to black screen then back to desktop, no error mesage. GC 1 will run, but the Antarian addon does the same thing, the difference is I can get to the menu, tell it to start a game, then the start window come up, then back to desktop. Anyone have any Ideas

Well, thanks for the invite, but unfortunatly just moved from CA to Nevada. Sorry for the flame, been a long time since and kinda gets you jumpy, I found some 100 $ 19 monitors on pricewatch, but no coin, no monitor. I have tried restetting the refresh rate to 60 and honestly every other game I have played has worked, even SWG. I used reforce to fix the refresh rate, XP has an issue with the native overide in the display drivers. Game is working now, thanks for all your suggestions and suppo

Unfortunatly, you don't understand it. NO JOB, been out of work since Sept 11 2001, I am an IT techniction in NEVADA and jobs are not here, or for that matter anywhere. I can run at 1024x768, but have to get the refresh rate down to 60, and where can you find a 19 inch monitor for 100 bucks, hell I haven't even seen a decent 17 inch for that matter. A 15 inch just isn't big enough for any game play, so what your saying is might as well give it up >:( ~SDC~

My normal monitor blew up and the only replacement I have does not support over 60hz above 800x600, as soon as the game starts it goes of the monitor as out of range, is there anyway to restric either the refresh rate or get the resolution to 800x600 Majorly bummed :sniff!: Glenn ~SDC~

Thanks, did what was suggested in the posts mentioned, was able to play the game for 2 hours with no lockup or crashes. Did notice the lettering on the technoligy reporting window, was not visable anymore, both background and letter as too dark to see. Also, and this only happened once, within 20 mins of starting a new game, the game tried to grind to a stop, it slooowwwed way down for about 20 sec, got back up to normal speed and did not reappear after that. Again, thanks for the pro

Well, how about we get back to what this thread is supposed to be about, BUGS. Now if someone can tell me if this is abug or not, a search of the messages does not result in any similar problems. In the last 4 weeks the game has locked tight at one screen and one screen only, the end of your Galactic Council. You vote, and the issue does not seem to have a bearing on it, as soon as you click the Done button, the game stops, yes STOPS. All processes have 0 usage, handles, threads or memory

For the past week and a total of 5 times the game has locked up at the Gal Council screen. Each time was with a completely new Civ, and there seems to be no set turns or gameplay time involed. I will vote, click the done button and it locks, there is no time delay in the lockup. I have a p4 2gig with 1 gig pc133 ram, Gainward 5600 FX Ultra w/128 DDR ram, SB Audigy Ex Plat and have updated all drivers and Directx componants. Anyone have any Ideas?? Glenn :( ~SDC~

I am getting 2 errors when I try to load a DesktopX theme. They are, the theme you are loading was created in a newer version of DesktopX. I have the latest install from the stardock central software download section, I am not using a beta or alpha release on any of the apps. Themes that show Object Bar skins will error out saying, "No Object Bar theme (.obtheme) found in theme that is loading, Do you want to load the last bar.

Thanks for the feedback, the files are up on my server P drive. That may be the problem, have a few gig of mp3 files. So, if I read you correctly. It will not see a virtual drive even if I save the m3u file in that drive and open it inside the game. Again Thanks Glenn ~SDC~

Ok, I am going to try this again, last week I posted a problem I am having with the MP3 player in GalCiv. I don't see the message anymore. The MP3 player will load the list, but will only scroll through the titles quickly. I can never get it to play. And since it seems, instructions for it and some other parts of this game are hard to come by, I figured this was the place to post. How about a little help folks Glenn ~SDC~

I have a couple of questions on the MP3 player. Does it have problems with M3U playlists created by Winamp 3? How many songs can you have in the playlist, is there a limit. The problem I am having is the song names just scroll on the window very fast with no way to stop them, it continually rolls through all the songs in the list. Help Please Glenn :HOT:
