MP crashes with all DLC installed? in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock.net Forums

A friend and I just bought Retribution this morning and added it to our existing installation (base GC3 + Mercs + Snathi + Crusade + Terrans + Precursor + Mega Events + Treasures + Altarian + Intrique + Star Control and now plus Retribution). Our first two attempts to start a new MP game (local lan) crashed. We're uninstalling and reinstalling now. Is there anything in the earlier DLC's that could be causing the problem? Thanks, pat----

Reply to Multiplayer WAIT on 1st turn in GalCiv III Support Stardock.net Forums

Yeah, I've used MalWareBytes for years and never had an issue. There were now entries in any of the MalWareBytes logs. But, when I searched thru the app and saw the "Exclusions" option, I tried adding GalCivIII.exe and then the multiplayer started working again. Since GC3 hasn't been updated since June (v3.04, we don't play the beta versions), it must have been a MalWareBytes change that made it start blocking GC3. Working well now tho. pat----&

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="1" id="3725924"] I would change the paging files to 3x your ram. What are your machine specs. [/quote] His machines have 16GB of memory. Mine has 64GB ... a 192GB swap file would be a little overkill, don't you think? Heck, with 64GB of main memory, I rarely use the swap file anyhow! 😉 pat----

Multiplayer WAIT on 1st turn in GalCiv III Support Stardock Forums

A friend and I have been playing co-op vs AI ages (GC2). Currently we have v3.04 installed from Steam. All DLCs thanks to a sale same months ago. Over the past 2 weekends we've been unable to get a game going. One of us will start one and the other will join. The first player starts the game, plays their turn and be hits the turn button and ... nothing. The button changes to WAIT and nothing else every happens (we've waited up to 15 m

Reply to Rant about Starting Positions in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock.net Forums

Yep, my friend and I have been seeing this regularly with 3.04. We like to play coop (team 1) vs AI (no assigned teams) and invariably one of us is nicely located with available planets nearby and the other is located surrounded by the AI players and no available planets. :( pat----

What is required for Intrigue? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Simple question, I hope ... A friend & I are playing multiplayer coop and having lots of crashes to desktop. Today we've finally uninstalled (cleaned up all folders and files) and did a clean reinstall. Hopefully this question will be moot. But ... Do you need Mercenaries and Crusade loaded along with the Intrigue Expansion? Or does it already include all of that code? Thank you,

SINS Rebellion suddenly crashing upon start in Technical Sins Forums

It runs if i execute the DEV.EXE, but fails if I start it from STEAM or the normal executable. The most recent mini-dump is linked. It worked last weekend and fails now. I've tried both the normal current version and the back-level 1.80mods version. Same result. pat----

Reply to 3 PCs on LAN, 1 unable to host?? in Technical Sins Forums

Thank you kryo , but they were unable to figure it out either. While troubleshooting (read: trying to figure what was blocking the acceptance of other PCs to join games hosted on this box), I used Autoruns (a Microsoft SysInternals tool) to disable anything autostarting during a boot that I didn't recognize. Unfortunately, I apparently didn't recognize the USB and Ethernet drivers. Oops. Since my motherboard doesn't have a PS/2 port,

I uninstalled SINS, cleaned the registry and all files I could find, rebooted and reinstalled. Win7 PCs are still unable to connect to games I host on the Win8.1 PC. Thoughts? pat----

Hosting Issues in Technical Sins Forums

Good morning. Three friends and I are getting together this weekend for a SINS session. Two machines are mine, and two belong to one of the other guys. He brought his over today and we set them up and tested for connectivity and functionality this morning so that we don't have to waste time the day of the actual get together. All four PCs are connected to the same gigabit, 8-port switch. During testing we discovered that three PCs can host, but one can't (the

3 PCs on LAN, 1 unable to host?? in Technical Sins Forums

Two PCs are Windows 7sp1, one is Win8.1. Ports 6000 & 6112 are open on all three PCs (both TCP & UDP). Confirmed via nmap 6.40. UPnP and SSDP services are set to Automatic and Started. UPnP and HTTP ports are open in the firewalls. Either of the two Windows 7sp1 machines can host and the other two PCs can join the game. If I host a game on the Windows 8.1 machine, the two Windows 7sp1 PCs see the game in list of available games to join. but
