Reply to Over-Heating in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

yup... I've checked... its 37.8C, but the temperature under normal operations is at 92F, it may not be much, and 11 degree jump, but I'm sure the temp is a factor. Also not sure if my temp gauge is for CPU temp or ambient case temp, either way it won't be the best gauge for an over-heating video card which is what I'm suspecting. The card is on the older side, so I'm thinking about just replacing it, but that opens a whole bag o' worms with

yeah, seems like I should install a few more fans... I've got 4 exhaust fans now (CPU, top, back, power supply) but no fans blowing in. I might get a video card cooler as well since there is no active cooling on it. There is plenty of card space. And don't forget, my temp is in farenheit, I don't feel like converting, but i'm fairly sure 100F is less than 70C, if not its prolly around the same.... maybe i should check the conversion. anywho

I've re-enabled gpu throttling and temp seemed to be a little lower (though still over 101 deg's), but 4 rounds back into my saved game I got an unexplained crash. Go figure. Hopefully most gets resolved when they release an official patch.

Actually I disabled the gpu throttling thinking that it would increase frame-rates (guess I shoulda read the readme). Thanks for the ideas guys, I'll go re-enable the throttle and see how it goes. btw my computers don't get "value" parts, I've been in working in computer industry longer th

pop growth is usually exponential. It should start rather slow with a low initial population (btw, did you cram the colonizer full of pop or just 1?) as pop gets bigger, it grows faster.

Over-Heating in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

My computer has been over-heating when I play GC2 with the resultant occasional crashes. Drivers are up to date, PC is a p4 2.8 800 fsb on an Asus p4c800 deluxe mb and I have 1gb of dual channel paired pc3200 corsair ram and a radeon 9600 pro video card (almost 4 times min specs and almost 2 times the recommended specs). I have tried tweaking all the video settings to try to keep it from over-heating, right now I've got every video option turned off,

I rebooted, most issues were gone but it still crashed when I tried to load that game... musta been a beta issue cuz I started a new game and have done fine so far.

I've gotten a chance to play the 1.0x version that I've reinstalled from beta and now the game is worse. Granted, I haven't rebooted, but I wanted to post this first. When the game was launched, at the main menu, all buttons but 2nd are white with no words, the 2nd is all gray, anywho, I remembered where the load button was and had similar issues on load game screen, ie blank buttons, then tried to reload my saved game and the game crashed. It might

Reply to GalCiv II: KNOWN issue list in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I haven't seen a debug thread so I guess I'll post it here. I had the beta version and I have since gone back to 1.0x but the last game played on the debug.err I still had beta installed... I hope it helps fix the bugs.

Marcathonas, I'm a computer tech, but not a programmer... I can see "Debug error" messages but I can't tell what is relevant. Can you take a message like this : "Unable to find required tech ImpossibleTech for PirateShip" seriously? I have redownloaded 1.0x but I don't have time to play and see if error came from beta version. Anywho... here's my error log for those interested.

Reply to Updated the latest patch and now the game will not start!! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm having trouble with the beta patch as well. Some random crashes and slow performance. (just so you know its not a user error: computer tech for 8 yrs and I have a p4 2.8ghz w/ 1gb ram and a 9600pro) I wish there were an easy way to restore to previous version. I'm seeing what I can do in that regards in stardock right now. I agree on a previous note: they really shouldn't default the updates to betas
