Reply to Long Time Customer - But a Wary One in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

RAM is cheap enough now, and 64-bit is prevalent, that so long as the engine is designed to be 64-bit, you should be fine. I'm a little extreme with 24GB of onboard RAM, but even if I only had 4GB of RAM, the fact that I'm running a 64-bit OS means that my page file can be far larger than any modern game can reasonably use. Windows has been pretty good at using disk space as RAM in the form of a page file since Windows XP days, so I can't imagine a reason a game deve

Reply to War of Magic, should it be brought back? in Elemental Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

I would go in for a newer WOM if it brought a large scale to things. WOM when released--and even the much better FE--just felt too small . Battles with hundreds of thousands of participants, cities that feel like more than walled villages, etc. while still allowing for individually powerful participants would be ideal. I wanted The Silmarillion , and got something much less.

Reply to Fences crashing in Fences Stardock Forums

The tool runs successfully, but does not create the log file on my Desktop, even though it says it does. I ran a full-disk search for the file it says it created, and nothing shows up. Any ideas? I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit.

Fences 2.12 Pro is crashing. Running Windows 8.1 fully updated, latest NVidia drivers, etc. Where is the log file for Fences located?

Perhaps a similar, and useful, mechanic could be a ship module that provided either a range extension, or acted as a life support source, but for a limited number of ships (probably using the logistics rating). This all assumes mechanics similar to GalCiv2, of course.

Reply to Pre-Order Cutoff Dates in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="nilloc93" reply="13" id="3405494"] guys don't preorder no matter how good it looks. Not to be a dick to stardock they have made lots of great games but lets look at aliens CM, and more relevantly Rome 2 Total War. If the game is good buy it, preordering only enables bad games from companies you trusted before.[/quote] Stardock and Sega are very different organizations: Ownership (private and most likely self-funded, versus publicly traded), si

Reply to WindowBlinds 7.9 cuts off half of "End" button in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Every skin. Office 2013 64-bit. I can only reproduce it after I change WindowBlinds several times. Poking around some more, the cut off seems to be specific to new or opened email messages in Outlook. Oddly, messages opened prior to changing skins don't seem to be affected. http://screencast.com/t/3Nn7bMeem8w However, snapping Pidgin to the left-hand side also produces strange results: it doesn't

WindowBlinds 7.9 cuts off half of "End" button in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

If you snap an MS Office application window to the side of a screen (full height, half-screen width), then the "End" button (top right, red) is only half-displayed. Clicking on the invisible portion does close the window, however. DxDiag can be found at the link below. Note that I'm running two monitors with different resolutions (1920 x 1080 and 1920 x 1200). http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=qyCk2FbK

Stardock Central AppLocationX registry key changes on shutdown in Stardock Central Support Stardock Forums

When I shutdown Stardock Central, the HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Stardock/StardockCentral/AppLocationX value changes to an extremely high value (e.g. 0x00000935, which is 2357). In practical terms, when I restart the app, StardockCentral is several dozen desktops away. Windows key + arrow keys don't seem to grab the window. Dxdiag dump is at <a title="Ynglaur DxDiag" href="http://pastebin.com/qyCk2FbK" target="_bla

Reply to The Steam Factor and game sales in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Those are some interesting numbers. I can say anecdotally that I've bought exactly one game from Impulse since it was sold. Not because GameStop made some horrible changes to the platform (though they did), but because they no longer have honest-to-goodness sales. I'm continually amazed that digital retailers aren't learning things that brick-and-mortar retailers have known for decades: sales work. When Google Play opened and had music at 50% off, I bought a ton of alb

"Make the bar on top of other windows" not respected on first starting in Tiles Stardock Forums

Every time I restart my laptop and login the "Make the bar on top of other windows" is not respected, even though it is set to true. E.g. on launching an application, the application window is hidden behind the Tiles bar. Re-sizing and re-maximizing the window does not resolve this. The workaround I've found is to change the side the Tile bar is on (i.e. if i want it on the right, I have to change it to the left, and then back to the right
