Ok - the 'general' how to use it is written here.

When I clicked on the link a new window was opened and immediate closed. When I right clicked on the link and selected 'Open in New Window' I got the message I posted below. BTW, I also tried it with Firefox and got the same error.

I dont get this in firefox.. however I get it in IE.. but the help page comes up and works no matter if I press yes or no on the popup question

Interesting, I just tried it again with Firefox and the page came up fine. Now when I right click in IE and 'Open in New Window' I can't even get the error to come up. I'm curious if it has something to do with my NIS/PF?

 

[Gyathaar]

I didnt click open in new window in IE.. the link opens a new window by itself

True, but the first time I tried the only way I could even get it to the error screen was by right-clicking it. When I just clicked on the link it opened and immediately closed. I couldn't even get it to stay open long enough to see what it said.

Is IE that bad? I still use it but it's mainly because my wife hates Firefox, though I'm not for sure why.

Its not an error. What its trying to do is get into full-screen mode, so that the screenshots and text fit better. Just click 'yes'.

Version 2.0.1975

I clicked refresh alert list

failed to load resources from resource file. Please check your setup

Sometime between that message and next turn civassist quitely shut itself down.

When i tried to load it

Spoiler :

Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.

Process ID= 0xa8(168) Thread ID 0xd0 (1744) [btw, I don't know for sure if those were zeroes or O's]

Terminate or debug

[I choose debug]

No debugger found

Now civassist refuses to load at all. I will try a computer reset and tell you how it goes.

I told civ assist to repair itself.

Spoiler :

Network error occured while attempting to read from the file E:\documents and settings\me\local settings\temporary internet files\content.ie5spspohsz\civassis_II_setup.msi

I have saves from the first two errors. Do you want me to send you both of them even though they are only a turn apart?

 

[ainwood]

Please! e-mail to civassist <at> gotm.civfanatics.net

When closing down windows I got a message about needing to shut down a netbroadcastevent window 1.0.5000...

When I restarted it loaded ok again.

 

[ainwood]

It all sounds very strange. Do you have CivAssist monitoring an over-ride path or just the default?

Both of those saves load with no problem for me - amybe its somethng we've fixed, or maybe its something from your install.

Thanks for the saves, though.

Fix combat calc, man I did not evn notice it had one. Where is the kitchen sink?

Right-click on the world-map, and select "Show Units". Find a unit, right-click on it and choose 'combat calculator'

This is cool -- but it only seems to work when an enemy unit is selected, at least on the 1975 version. Is it possible to add a combat calculator to show calculations for an enemy unit attacking one of our units?

 

[vmxa]

We are not worthy, we are not worthy.

Here's a minor "bug" -- eye candy really. If playing with a customized leader name and civ name, CA2 displays the standard civ name and leader name from the game. For examle in Demogame 6 we are playing as "The Great Citizens" of "Fanattania", as the English. CA2 displays Elizabeth of the English. A nice feature would be to have CA2 display "The Great Citizens of Fanattania (England)" when it is customized.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging

For example:

<configuration>

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine

Thanks for the save. Unfortunately, I can't replicate the problem. If you get this again, can you please let us know the exact steps to replicate it?

CivAssist is a great program. It is a remarkable effort and I thank the author. However, for me at least it causes my PC to become slow and unresponsive. The problem persists even after I exit the program. I have to reboot to restore normal function. As an example it takes about 1 minute to load my current Civ game, if I first run CivAssist II it will take about 3 minutes to load the same game. Gameplay is noticeably slower also. I searched but did not see others with the same problem. Am I alone? I just downloaded and installed last week so I'm sure I have close to the latest version. I don't have the latest and greatest PC (I think it's about 2-2.5GHz P4 with 512M RAM) but it is more than adequate for Civing and my other needs.
