Bug Reports and Technical Issues

You're right in your observation, but the issue was only with the message being displayed. It would display your attempt as failed even when it was successful, but I confirmed that the votes play out correctly regardless, and that actually failed bribes still result in a relations penalty.

 

Core cities are not immune to demands, but the AI should be very reluctant to give away core cities to someone for whom it also isn't their core. I can look into the save to see what motivated their vote.

Noted. Is your game installation with Varietas Delectat enabled? Please be aware that you can take screenshots with the Print Screen key.

 

Faster for you, worse for me. So good to know you had an easy time.

 

I think the determining factor here is that European civs are always willing to support claims of other European civs if they are outside of Europe and against other non-Europeans. I don't think that makes sense if the target is non-European but still Western, like Canada, so I restricted this rule accordingly.

I also noticed that in this situation, France benefited from both its UP and the Palace of Nations effect. I restricted those a bit in that they no longer apply against core cities.

 

Does not reproduce for me. Do you have graphics paging active? You might want to try turning it off.

 

Have you tried not using single unit graphics? Also, what is your unit graphic quality setting?

 

Switch to highest and the problem should go away.

 

Maybe it is, I don't know. I am very confused why anyone would run low quality settings on a game from 2004 but apparently it happens. It's far from common still.

 

If you have issues with the game, it's likely due to your RAM or maybe your processor. I don't think there is ever a reason to worry about your graphics card or the graphics settings.

Unless you have a system that is literally old by 2005 stardards (like, from 2000), it is likely capable of rendering everything the game wants to show on screen. Performance costs usually come from the amount of content in the game in general, regardless of graphics.

I actually would not recommend buying new hardware at the moment unless you absolutely have to. Maybe RAM is fine, I haven't been keeping track of its prices lately.
