I like to use cinematic as it often looks cool. I have no idea how to use the free cam, probably because I don't have a wheel mouse or middle mouse button like sam0t mentioned about.
yea, they are like the I-League, only more aggressive. Like thier name indicates, they are a violent group.

its not neccesarily a bug per se, just a lack of trying to make a new one for the Krynn. When I looked at the intro text for them, I realized something was familiar, so I looked at the arceans and it is the exact same text word for word, the only difference is that it says Krynn Consulate instead of Arcean Empire. C'mon you guys, I know you could make a proper intro text for the Krynn, even though they hardly have any background story right now. edit: just looked at the Korath
well there is a planet quality bug that is going on, which will affect the way the planets work and the economy, so that is probably part of what you're seeing. Since the PQ bug is messing things up, might want to do the analysis after its been fixed as the bug will keep the morale and other stuff from working properly.
I have no idea man, I'd like to help, but sounds like it could be deep in the technical stuff. The devs will be back on tomorrow though.
Debug Message: Version v1.4x last updated on: Mon Oct 23 17:43:56 2006 try downloading the latest update please, there may be a fix in the latest one for your problem.
I wonder if that old pentium is the problem, I run a pentium 4 which is 3.40 GHz and it works just fine graphically. Try lowering or increasing the anti-aliasing, which could help.
did you make sure your AMD has its latest update? Alot of people have been posting lately with the AMD processor and there are issues with it which are fixed with the latest dual core update. Which is why I'm asking. There are a whole bunch of debug errors in the DA one, but I can't help you there.
well, ok then. Maybe you could reinstall the game? maybe some file got messed up in the process. Thats the last thing I can really offer you because the devs would know how to find the source of this problem.
wierd, well to start with, maybe a debug err from your last game? I don't have any idea how to help you but its standard procedure to post a debug err as often times the source of the problem can be found in there. You'd have to wait until tomorrow when the devs get back or at least a forumer with lots of technical knowledge.
well if you've never had a working installation for DA, either the CD or the download was corrupted somehow. The core ships are generally crap, although they can look pretty cool.
hmm, so much for that hunch.... was worth a try though. Do you have the latest update for your vid card? if not, then lets see if doing an update will fix this. If doing a vid card update doesn't work, then I don't know how else to help you. The devs should be back tomorrow, so may have to wait until then.
uh, why did you post twice? Sometimes theres a short delay between time of posting and it showing up in recent posts.
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.4GHz that might be the issue, try downloading the latest update for that driver and see if it works after that.
yea there might be something in a config file, and that does look pretty wierd. You may also want to post a debug err, there may be a clue in there. Also, is this from Dread Lords or Dark Avatar? might be DL from the background.
could you take a screenshot to show what you mean? Also, check your language settings for the game just to make sure (not sure how to do that though).
Its probably the AMD, which should be solved with an update from the AMD site. At least thats what I've read as I don't have an AMD myself. Theres also a thread about it stickied somewhere, not sure where though....
The HUGE reapeared PQ bug to be fixed pronto pointless playing until it is!!! /signed! Even though I know its the weekend and the devs are off. @Caeili I downloaded it and installed it on Thursday night. What exactly are you having a problem with as far as downloading it? you also need to get the star dock central program too, and that one is free.
I only have one. I would like to be able to download the game. uh, you can you know, through the SD online store.
hmm, might want to update your Bios as its 2 years old. Thats the only thing I could suggest even though that might not help very much.
its still there, do a search for .xml files in the Dark Avatar directory. if you still can't find it through the search, try looking in C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar\Data\English with the C bieng wherever you installed in and the rest should be the default directory name.
Debug Message: Error flipping back buffer to primary buffer. Debug Message: Device lost I was getting that same kind of thing, theres something about older ATI/NVIDIA cards that does this. Does it work ok in windowed mode? because I play DA and DL in windowed mode with the resolution the same as my monitor (effectively making it act/look like its fullscreen) and I can play it just fine without the game going device lost and blacking out on me. W
sounds like that event is kind of overpowered, sure it needs to be MEGA, but shouldn't there at least be a chance of fighting back? If something like that happened, I'd probably try and fight back or like cornmonkey said, try and weather the storm.
strange, I don't think the game would be doing that, although if you create a custom opponent, I could see how it would happen. I don't know anything about changing the texture of the planet, so other than asking someone who makes mods, might need to create a custom race to do that. Yes its possible to play humans from a planet other than earth, theres the Altarians through some strange quirk of parallel evolution created through the unconsciousness of a sleeping god-like bieng (so goes

I don't think they would neccesarily notice the ships themselves (until they fight them), but they will notice the shift in military strength on the graph.
