Reply to Access is Denied in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

You need to alter your permissions in windows. For some reason i have found that certain versions of windows lock the files to administrator rights only. If you have user accounts set up on your machine you will need to be running under one of the admin ones to alter the files. Also make sure that no other instances of the program are running at the same time as that can cause the issue too, but to be honest it sounds more like an admin rights issue. Hope that helps. Feel free

Reply to Is there someplace where people share their ship designs? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

No but the library has been broken for ages and as far as i have read here there is nothing in the pipeline to get it fixed. There are other sites that you can find ships on such as I-mod productions. They have a good range of them there, albeit most of them are in DA format and require you to alter them to get them to work in newer versions.

Reply to wont run since I installed ATI HD6950 in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

The game runs fine on my W7 64bit machine but there are known cases of it not running correctly, if at all, from the game launcher. Navigate to the installation directory and create a shortcut to the game exe, not the launcher one and run it from there. If your prefs.ini is incorrect you can alter it or simply delete it and launch the game. This will reset all the options to their default settings and allow you to select which you require again.

In the impulse program, highlight the DA galciv game and right click. In the options there you will find where the updates are. Click on this and it should show you what updates have been made to the game

Reply to Blank/Black screen (Galatic Civilization 2 Dread Lords) in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

In your prefs.ini try changing the following (via notepad or similar): - SkipIntro=1 Fullscreen=1 This will stop the opening videos and force the game into fullscreen. If this does not work then delete the prefs.ini and try running the game again. On a side note your graphics drivers are out of date and could really do with being updated too. This can have an effect on the game running so you may want to update them first i

Reply to How do I (actually) change my custom race ship style? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="3" id="2912541"]Oddly enough you can't edit ship style for the race you have picked to play, just opponents. Though obviously once you're done editing your 'opponent' you can switch things back around.[/quote] On a note to this. Once you return to the main screen and select the modified race the ship style returns to the default one for some reason :(

Reply to What Are Some Methods To Attack A Planet? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Load up a transport with as few as troops as you can (1) and send it along with the normal fully stocked ones to invade your chosen planet. Once there use the one with very few troops to massdrive the planet. With that few a troops it will noy cause any damage and will wipe out a lot of the defending troops. Then send in your other transports ensuring they are in a fleet for maximum chance of success. Works pretty much every time for me.

Reply to CTD in ToA running W7x64 in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I have just updated the sound drivers and it made no impact. The only thing that seems to stop the flickering is reducing anti-aliasing to 2. My system should be able to handle it at 8! System details below (custom rig) AA of 2 is daft for this. I could shut off SLI, and use onboard graphics and get that lol. Help please :) System &n

Reply to What are you doing while the Metaverse is broken? in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Been playing on my new PS3, or to be more specific i have been crashing my car to destruction online in a good old destruction derby game playing Race Driver Grid. Not had a lot of spare time as i have too much to do around the house and the kids are just too demanding as well. That and the fact i have been going through a patch of ill health of late mean GCII has had to take a back burner for the time being.
