I'm having a strange issue with AP.
When I start the first mission in the AP compaign after prelude to war I'm greated with a blank screen after the briefing I get a blank template of what you'll normaly see when you first start the game. No data shows up as to what you can research, planitary data, ship data, etc and when I go to view the base map all I see is red then if I try to do anything it crashes back to the desktop.
Here's my standard info
Windows XP SP1 w/ all patches "SP2 is just evil"
Galactic Civ version 1.22.101
Multimedia 1.0.016 installed
AP 1.52b.013
I've tried re-installing AP & running without patches but I get no love from that, still the same prob.

The bug I am experiencing happens in between the turn before the the galactic council meets. It's most prevalent when I'm hitting the turn key rapidly.

Maybe it's just me, but in AP, I have all available Invasion methods appearing available whenever I invade with my transports, yet, in the invasion data file, the technology requirement field is filled in with a legit technology needed to be discovered prior to that invasion method being made available. I have used GC Writer to check things, and all is ok. I am using tech and imp mods with no other difficulties other than this. The invasion files are in the Mod/Data/Invasion folder as required. Any ideas? Or is this a bug?
In particular, I want the invasion method "Assimilation" (from a mod I got from this site) to not appear until the player has discovered the "Assimilation" technology. All seems proper at this point...

In AP, why do game graphic in rare instances sometimes come to a near stand-still needing a minute or two before completing a simple ship weapons firing sequence and an enemy ship subsequent explosion (also needing a few minutes)? I use a high end PC (if that matters). It happens if mods are used or not. Has anyone else had this problem?

Well i can not play the ap main campaign the pelude to war works and the random map works but not the main one every time i try to play it it shows the interface with nothing on it and a minute or so later crashes to desktop i have the latest patch

| What seems to make the most sense to me is that a freighter should make the trade-route trip exactly once. |
|
Are you asking for removing the ability to buy freighter from AI? Because it is a really useful behavior on gigantic map.

Bugs Reported to Cari,
3) Autosurvay 's first route line doesn't show on the mini map.. until you reach the first anomoly.. from then on its displaying fine..
Mod dir bugs reported to Cari,
1) in AP with mods sctivated its not picking up the GC/mods/events or the GC/mods/music Dir's
2)If you include a GCTech.Tech file in the Mods/data direcrory (either the GC or AP) It slows down the opening of the Menu options game sc reen during the game.. this problem gets less apparent the more techs you have researched
Cari is looking into these reproducable bugs.. Thanks Cari,

Hi CariElf,
when you are looking for something to work in  I would be very happy when you could fix the calculation of the remaining research months.
Currently it uses the free research of the last month and not the free research of the current month. Thus it is usually wrong once you got some research abilities.
The information must already be somewhere burried in the code. Thus it should not be too hard to fix it.
I just wrote the same here  Link
but this thread seems to be better suited.
I know that this bug was mentioned before and that you are very bussy with many tasks but sometimes it is helpfull to get a reminder and to do something different 
Thank you for listening and for all you already did for us

Ship battles take veeeeery long (minutes for two ships). And this is a 3.2 GHz machine with hyperthreading and 2GByte RAM! The machine is totally blocked and you can watch the ships to turn towards each other and the bullets moving in very slow motion.
It's a bussiness computer with Intel 82865G graphics.
I updated with the newest drivers from Intel and the newest DirectX version from Microsoft. It did not help at all.
Switch of SoundFX did not help either.
The only thing which helped was to switch of ship battle.
This is fine with me. I don't need a fix for this issue. As far I know the code will be totally different in GC2.
I just wanted to inform Stardock and other gamers in case someone else runs into it.

I know why it's rebooting your computer alot. It's doing it to mine too. It ONLY happens when you have passed the -500 BC mark, and owe money for leases (purchases on a plan, like to Mitrosoft). It BSoD then reboots. That's the symptom, and when it's doing it.

Oops all anomalies disappeared!
The way I play the game it takes me at least a couple of days to play each game, so I do have to save the game and come back to it later. When I loaded my current game today each and every anomaly I had uncovered, but not yet investigated had disappeared, and I have not uncovered a single anomaly today. I know for certain that at most of the anomalities cannot have been investigated by any of the AI players on that turn: there were simply too many and they were to widely spread for that to happen.
So now, in stead of having one or two anomaly disappear on reload as have been reported by several players including myself, they all vanish. Will this be fixed? I can probably supply you (CariElf) with a set of save-games that show the behavior.

the new version of skin studio professional 4,51 doasn't work extracting visualfiles like the previous ... it downloads them but you can't install them and see them on the prewiev ... you can't neither go back to restore the previous version 4,50,43 that worked perfect !!!!! Please try to solve the problem !

Well, you are in a Galactic Civilization Forum and not in a Object Desktop forum. You should try to post this bug report in another place.

Another Tech Cost calculation bug?
I noticed that at times techs cost more than what it says in the relevant .tech file, while at other times the number and actual cost is correct. This time I started noticing this discrepancy when I got a few Research Labs running.
My current tech is Advanced Engineering. In GCTech.TECH the cost is 400, but I have to spend a total of 448 on it. (The number has been calculated by reloading and setting research spending to 1 bc, confirmed by trying with 449 and 444 respectively.)
| |
|
I think that there is an increase of cost when researching a tech based on the techs you already know.
But I could be wrong.
| |
|
Might be right, sounds logical, but in that case Stardoc forgot to mention it.
But anyway the important issue with regard to tech-cost and calculation is the free-beaker issue.
As far as I'm conserned there are two major bugs in GC/AP: (Might have something to do with my playing style)
1) Turn to completion (ttc) is not calculated right. Ex. 10pp left on a project, the planet produces 5pp/turn, the reported ttc is 2 while it should be 1.
2) The free research points used in ttc for research projects is one turn old, and thus worse than useless. Either don't use the old numbers, or recalculate.
Those two issues takes a huge chunk out of the fun of playing GC/AP for me. Please fix them. As it is now, I often find myself wasting a lot of time fighting the UI, In stead of enjoying actually playing the game and fighting the AI. (I presume that that's the aim of the game)

Since these issues are here since lots of time (as well as request to fix them), I guess they won't be fixed for GC1/AP. But we can watch them in GC2.
| |
|
I know, I know, but they still need fixing.

Every tech you research increases the cost of future techs by a cumulative 1%. Usually it's not noticed because your research will usually increase faster than the research cost penalty does.
