I really tried to like it. But, after 89 hours of trying, it's off my machine. I won't repeat the complaints others have made. But, I would add this comment: Find out the names of the developers who worked on this crap, and don't ever let them near a computer again. Ever. :mad:

Most of these happened when rolling back the FoW while exploring, especially when it exposed a Barb camp. Others didn't have any particular patterns, other than it was during a unit's move. There was one (I don't remember if it was in this batch, or an earlier one), during the cycle...

What's "interesting" about these crashes is that they do not seem to be related to which DirectX version (9 or 11). My guess is a null pointer error or somesuch.

Latest crash dump files. :eek: Includes both DirectX 9 and DirectX 11, on Vista. :rolleyes:

I agree with you. What's really sad is that the visuals are not all that demanding, from a GPU perspective. I think this is the buggiest, worst-performing piece of (non-Microsoft) software I've had to deal with in the past 10 years. :wallbash:

Sorry, I replied too hastily. :rolleyes: The computer with the nVidia 7300 card is an older system, runs the app on DirectX 9. Other than being slower than molasses in January, it's fine. The system showing the visual artifacts has a 8200M, running DirectX 11. The artifacts showed up -->...

I don't think it's a video card / GPU problem. :cry: Looks more like a program bug (see attached).

Also an nVidia card: 7300. Didn't they test this stuff? :eek:

Did the usual rigamarole: upgraded memory, installed all know patched & bug fixes, installed latest drivers, yadda yadda. :crazyeye: Look what happened next (attached file shows latest screen shot). :lol:

I feel so privileged to have paid $$$ to join the Beta test program. :rolleyes:

Before the patch, this software was annoying and slow. Now, it's annoying, slow, and crashing regularly. :mad: We seem to be going in the wrong direction ...

According to the manual, it uses 1/2 its' operational range. Since the early fighter (as of 1.17) has a range of 4, that gives it an intercept range of 2. For the jet fighter, 1/2 6 = 3. And the stealth fighter isn't a fighter/interceptor, it's a bomber (so keep those jet fighters/F-15s...

Found this at http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/ent/A0802598.html: aegis , in Greek mythology, weapon of Zeus and Athena. It possessed the power to terrify and disperse the enemy or to protect friends. The aegis was usually described as a garment made of goatskin slung over the shoulder or as a...

It's actually 2 settings, in the civ3edit editor.

Oh, you want to hack it! [punch] My miskate -- I just assumed you wanted a properly designed API. :jesus: Sorry, occupational hazard. :blush:
