A New Dawn Bug Reports and Feedback

Nvidia 9600 GT

That should be able to run AND fine. If you are having video card problems it is probably overheating.

I know. It probably is. I've seen it in other games, and I've had to underclock the card from it's factory values, otherwise any fps would hang the computer after 10 minutes or so.

Try opening up you computer case. Maybe you can get a fan to blow the hot air out.

Factory fans (especially from less well known companies) often don't cut it. Fortunately, they are fairly cheap, you can get some good ones from Newegg under $30.

I used to have the case open all the time. Doesn't really make any difference that I could see. What does make a difference is Summer/Winter. When the room gets hot enough to annoy me, it also annoys the video card.

makes sure to regularly use a can of compressed air to clean dust off the inside

Even better, see if you can get access to an electric compressor and hose - most compressed air that I've tried out is weak when it comes to dust that has built up over time. In a couple of the shops that I provide service for I've been regularly using their compressor air to clean out their systems.

You don't really appreciate dust buildup until you've seen it at a millworker's.

Edit: It goes without saying (but I will anyway) that you need to be careful when using high-pressure air on components. Although it's lots of fun making your fans fly...ehum. Make sure to also get at the CPU block -- if you happen to use a stock heatsink it'll have collected a lot of dust. Ah, right, [valley accent] I'm also, like, totally NOOOOOOT responsible if you, like, totally mess up your computer, OK? Not even if you just mess it up a bit. OK, thanks, byeeeee.

Stumbled upon an interesting problem. At the end of the turn of the included save the game completely freezes. Doesn't MAF. Doesn't CTD. Just freezes solid.. Usually I get sent back to the desktop to try again, this is the first time It's totally locked up for me. I thought it might be system related, but I've tried juggling things around with no luck, and I've had games nearly a megabyte larger then this before, so I don't think its MAF involved.

Running RoM 2.9 and AND 1.7

Yeah, this is why I logged onto this thread today. Same thing happening.

Aside from that, I'm getting a weird bug with National units (might have been covered already, haven't checked far back in thread) - they don't become unavailable when I queue all of them, and they don't become available when I use/lose them until next turn. Same thing if I had one in queue and deleted it from queue 1+ turn after putting it in queue.

Further, when I queue too many by mistake, they all disappear and don't even get built.

All food resources have been significantly lowered, if you chose Better RoM. This is to help balance the game, since previous versions had an overabundance of resources, leading to too much health and happiness. The change seems to be mostly positive, and my games seem to be fairly balanced. However, you can change it as you see fit in the Better RoM folder.

I see you used tejón's bonus file as the basis for the one in better ROM. Was it just the food resources you changed or were there other changes from that file. I know I could go through and hunt down the changes but I am guessing you will have a better idea anyway.

I guess the reason why I have issues is because I generally play on small maps as I CBF'd waiting between turns, even with AND's improved speed. This gets multiplied as compared to normal ROM some of the seafood resources have been reduced by 8 times I think. Meaning I pretty much only have one of crab, clam and shrimp and half of the fish are in ocean plots where only a legendary city could use them.

It was ok until I went into WB the other day and found that there were four times as many ivory lol. Perhaps the elephants on this planet were just super awesome at surviving. Furthermore I shouldn't even be complaining given I was playing as Siam.

Could I simply delete the bonus xml file from the better ROM folder or just rename the original ROM bonus xml and put it in the better ROM folder?

Sorry for the double post just doesn't seem relevant to the previous post at all.

You should have ABSOLUTELY no problems playing Civ 4 on a 9600 GT. I play on an 8400m GS oK. You must have something going wrong on your end. I guess you might also want to check that the video card heatsink is mounted correctly as well as giving it a clean. Yes manufacturers do screw up. Also where do you live that it gets hot enough to throttle your video card?

Had a weird thing just happen while playing (again) an error came up and STALLED the game, it said something about needing a disk for Drive1 in BtS

Also when i got the tech Flintlock, i could not upgrade my units that turn? Had to wait till the next turn(all requirements were met


Just a thought also on the "end turn stuff" did you do anything with the advisers in-between the last Beta built and regular 1.70?(It has to be something between that caused this

 

[Baskedyt]

The Civilopedia text for the Revivalist Church buildings says that it "Reduces culture and science". But the stats says "-15% , +10% ".

Which is the right one?

(I play AND 1.70 Beta 3, so it might already be fixed)

 

[Talin2009]

Were Imperial Guard/Guard du corps got removed in 1.70?

Lisbon, Portugal 5ºC-30ºC. Doesn't look like it would influence, but in a poorly ventilated room it does.

The stats are always right; the tool tips are outdated.

Yes.

Got this error message: (screen went from normal font to a bigger one, and kept flashing back and forth, thats when i got this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "CvScreensInterface", line 987, in forceScreenRedraw

File "CvMainInterface", line 3430, in redraw

File "CvMainInterface", line 8032, in updateHelpStrings

Spoiler :

def updateHelpStrings( self ):
	
		screen = CyGInterfaceScreen( "MainInterface", CvScreenEnums.MAIN_INTERFACE )

		if ( CyInterface().getShowInterface() == InterfaceVisibility.INTERFACE_HIDE_ALL ):

		else:
			[B]screen.setHelpTextString( CyInterface().getHelpString() )[/B]
		
		return 0

RuntimeError: unidentifiable C++ exception

Looks like someone included help text with bad characters; not my problem.

Also strategyonly, I've fixed the other research bug in the coming patch.

 

[NBAfan]

ETA on the next patch?

ETA on the next patch?

Afforess mentioned Monday last week. Is it for sure? Maybe so. Depends on his alpha testing results.
