Weird blue pulsating ring around Earth

What is it?

July 9, 2009 1:20:27 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

Hey all,

In my current game in Twilight of Arnor, patched to 2.02, I'm playing a custom Terran race, called the Terran Empire. Go figure. Haha. Anyways, the game was going fine until a bit ago, I'm now in the year 2232. For some reason a strange blue ring is pulsating around Earth. It pulsates with or without the selection circle on it. I click everywhere else and Earth still has that pulsating ring. The odd part is that a bit of that pulsating ring is hidden inside Earth. 1/4 of the circle is hidden inside of Earth, and the other 3/4 pulses in and out of the Earth's circumference.

What is this exactly? Any way to disable this pulse ring thing?

I don't know. Baised upon your description, it sounds like its just a graphical bug.

Does the bug persist after you load the game? Have you tried lauching all ships form orbit (you can often see the ships flying around the planet, so they might be the cause)?

Sounds to me like you are experiencing a magnetic pole-shift.

So you should be prepared for all electronics and electric devices to suddenly stop working or blow up, and for your society to self-destruct.

 

 

 

Sorry for the bad news, but we all have to go sometime.

Possibly a rally point overlapping the planet?

Rally point? Hmm... that could be it.

Try selecting the planet again, and then look at the bottom left part of the screen. You should see something about rally points on the UI. Try to delete or move the rally point.

Let us know if that fixes things.

It wasn't a rally point. Here's a screenshot of the image. I put a red arrow on it so you can see the weird circle I'm talking about.

Looks like a trade route end marker. Do you have any trade routes that go to Earth?

I have trade routes going away from Earth to a few of the other alien homeworlds. How do I check for alien trade routes that go to Earth? I have the ledger that shows my 5 trade routes going from Earth (I'm trading with Arceans, Drath, Iconians, Torians, and Yor).

Never mind, incoming trade routes don't have end markers, only outgoing ones. Besides, you said it was pulsating, and route markers are static. No, what you have there is a simple autopilot target. Somewhere, you have a ship ordered to move to Earth.

I shouldn't try to answer questions from work
