Reply to Random crashes in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I've been having the same problem with my digital download with the game crashing frequently in the first 50ish turns and every so often after that, and I realized a couple things that help: -My game will crash early on, within the first 50ish turns and I just save every turn. -If I stop using the F1-F11 hotkeys, the number of times my games crashes drops to almost nothing after those first 50 or so turns. Consequently, outside of using the Contro

Reply to Swap Page File Size in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, I'm trying to determine what size page file size I should be using for the inital ... and what size paging file size to use for the Maximum for my computer, as I'm adding new RAM to my CPU. Had 512 RAM with 2 256 Dimms in the first 2 slots, and used 1024 for inital and 1536 for maximum, which made the CPU very stable for all types of games, including MMORPGs. Odd cuz that was obviously not the 1.5 times ruling-recommended. The CPU can only handle 3 512's , and I'm

Swap Page File Size in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

A couple weeks ago, before the patch came out, Stardock listed an excellent listing of how to set up the Swap Page File Size, and what they recommended for people to use until the new patch came out.
