SmartException DOES NOT work on my machine for some reason. Cari and I have had 2 or 3 sessions of bugs where we've tried to get it to work to help otu with no luck!

Frustrating crashes when winning in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I haven't been able to actually win a game since early Beta 3. Every time I get into a winning position the game crashes - saving every turn only creates a point where the crash is isolated. This is more than a little frustrating and I was wondering if everybody is having this problem or just those running ME or just me! If I'm losing the game plays to completion!

I gues those are the RECOMMENDED specs ;p BUT I'm playing it fine on P3-450 and P2-333 machines, both with OLD voodoo banshee cards without delays or problems MIND you the P3 has 512MB RAM and the P2 has 364MB RAM. Both have Win ME :sniff!: and the sound card in the P2 is CM83xx series (generic). So I'd say they're not as demanding as posted so far :)

I spoke to Cari just briefly this morning - they are aware of the problem and are looking at it.

I worked with Cari on that one with SOL on Monday - requires some editing of a text file

Since the newest update as of 2 days ago I am now asked to submit even when I lose. BTW - Iam on DSl - always connected so that was NOT the problem.

I've won a few games and it didn't ask me to submit!

Reply to super evil - little long but valid in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hey, I spared the population completely 5 times, was neutral another 3 times and yet my screen went blood red after twice in a row sacrificeing inhabitants out of need to help me win. Overall I'm not so evil but the game seemed to think so YET my alliance with a godd race did not suffer. Think on them apples!

Reply to Ok, I purchased Drengin Net, how do I download the beta? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

If you want music you are indeed facing an all-nighter, if not just most of the night (120 MB w/ music, 53MB without)

first - check the other thread then delete it (someho 2 identical threads were created), second there is no colony.bik file and deleting prefs.ini makes no difference and I've completely removed and reinstalled 3 times to no effect (other than a clossal waste of time)

colony.bik doesn't exist; deleting prefs.ini makes no difference

Reply to own up - who was it that said B2 was much worse than beta 1?!" in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I wish I had your confidence - a message I sent 9 days ago asked me if certain files existed in my directory - they did not so I did a reinstall - but no further assistance on that one! the last thread is more concerned about OS (which is less likely to be the issue, in my limited opinion).

Windows ME

Reply to own up - who was it that said B2 was much worse than beta 1?!" in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I'm one of the ones who selected it because I haven't been able to play since it went to Beta 2. The program keeps booting me out and after a complete remove and reinstall abd going to Beta 2B it no longer gives an error message for Stardock to find the problem - so I've wasted weeks and MULTIPLE redownloads of both the music and game to no avail. - Is this sufficient reason to satisfy your curiosity?
