Do a google search of the image. The earliest I saw it posted on a website was Sept. 17. That means it was 6 weeks old when you tweeted the guy on November 1st. It's obvious you hadn't seen it. It's a shame that ZQ was able to slander you so easily. I went on the artist's tumblr earlier today. I couldn't find the image on it. Maybe I missed it, but it looks like he deleted it. There were also only about 3-4 results (all in September I think) for the image itself wh

no there were no updates for drivers on monitor or display adapter. I uninstalled them and reinstalled them. No change. It's the monitor. There's no reason for those lines to pop up for no reason, and then when I use a new monitor, they aren't there. I'm just hoping that I can get whatever it is fixed without buying a new monitor. It has a 3 year warranty and I've had it for less than 2 but I never mailed in the warranty card even though I still have the receipt and can prove I paid for it 2 yea

Just hooked up a different monitor and it works fine. It's just an old CRT monitor that is like 13 or 15 inch. Looks like crap right now compared to my LCD. I really think this is like 13 inch screen and the funny thing is it's like 20 inches long. Huge back. So it's not the graphics card. If anyone has suggestions on what to do about monitors let me know. I already sent in a technical support thing to the Benq (monitor)website, however I'm not sure if I'll get a response. I've done thi

It's on all the time. It's never happened before. That's why I showed that google website shot and this website shot. I haven't opened the game since it occured. I keep on restarting my computer messing with settings and the lines always show up right after the monitor starts and goes off it's logo screen. The reason I posted this was because it happened while playing Sins and hasn't stopped since. Tried messing with all my refresh rates and video sizes. Even turned hardware accelerati

Reply to Grapics card not working, Help please in Technical Sins Forums

ok thanks for that. It looked a little weird on those shots like the lines I was seeing weren't there. How do I fix it? Is there a way to reset the settings on my monitor? The reason I ask is because around the time this happened I know I hit some keys on my keyboard and it showed up all of a sudden. Could be conincidence but I'm not sure. Is there anything I can do besides get a new monitor and how does a monitor go bad when playing a game? I have a Benq FP91GP monitor Flat sc

I was playing this game 1v1 against the comp. Anyways all of a sudden these vertical lines appeared on my computer and they haven't left. I quit the game and they were still on my desktop. I turned off my comp immediately and restarted but they were still there. I left my computer off for about 8 hours and restarted and they are still here. They are like red lines when there is black background and light blue lines in white background. <A href="http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/4195/

Where is the edit button and why didn't thread go to the top when I posted? Nevermind that's odd no edit button showed up on my post, probably because there was an error.

READ THIS, SO MANY GOOD IDEAS YOU'LL WANT TO HIRE ME. :D :p Micro expansions for 9 dollars is ideal, I think, as long as you can keep running the multiplayer servers for free. I don't know much about the business model of how many people purchase the game online and how easy it is to do, but I think if you're choosing between a subscription and micro-expansion, that the micro-expansion wins as long as it has enough content to give players incentive to buy it. Like maybe new campaign mi

Yeah I forgot that the comp got miniature bonuses or forgot how big they were when posting. I just kind of didn't know how to deal with fighting superior ships at the time, but someone else explained it to me in another thread. I just have to try it out in a game. I tried to print a screenshot to load to show you what the map and game looked like but couldn't find them in a folder after hitting the print screen button. Yor are by far the strongest in the game I was pla

Reply to Tell me how you dominate in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

yeah but thats like impossible with the miniaturization bonuses the comp has I think. But it would be nice though. I only have patch 1.5, I think there is like a 1.5x or something. I haven't gotten that yet. Yeah I'm hoping someone can explain it too. Also would like to know what the defense bug is.

Reply to Tell me how you dominate in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks for the info on Ships and stuff. I appreciate it. I was a bit confused about it. I'm going to have to try that stuff. How does the defense work? I understand the square root thing. But if the comp has 200 missle defense, would 600 missle attack be equal to 400 + (whatever square root of 200 is) mass driver or beam weapon attack? Another thing I'm concerned about is the defense bug. Cause I've tried two different instances of making 3 or 4 ships with all attack power

Reply to Tell me how you dominate in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Looks like some good stuff. Are there any strategies on Ship building specifically? Right now I'm on suicidal as humans against yor and korath. The problem is our research (end of most techs) is pretty much the same now and they can make better ships and fleets than me. For example yor has dreadnaughts with around 500 to mass drivers and 100 to 200 to a defense. I've tried building small fighters and grouping them together to take out these big things but it doesn't s

Nevermind I decided to repair or uninstall and reinstall, anyways the repair fixed whatever it was so everything is fine now.

Reply to Mass Drivers Not On Shipyard List in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I've looked at a guide (one with a list of all weapons and stats) and from what I can tell there are quantum drivers, HD drivers, and Neutrino bullets. (weapons that once researched can be mounted onto your ships) Its not some mistake in me looking there and missing it. It's just not there. I've done it like 10 times now. I had the HD driver technology for awhile and was looking to put that technology into weapons but didn't see it on shipyard. Now that I had gotten Neutrino bullets, I

Reply to Mass Drivers Not On Shipyard List in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Of course I'm playing a regular game. How would I have neutrino bullets if I weren't? Anyways I'm hoping someone knows something about why this isn't working. I can't finish my game without it.

I've just gotten this game recently, the Gold Edition Dark Avatar version. Anyways I've played some games and I notice that I can't use any of the Mass Drivers past Nano Ripper. Now it didn't matter much in the first couple games, but now I'm on suicidal and I have neutrino bullets and I kind of need to be able to install them to have a good chance of beating the game. I've tried restarting the game, and I even tried updating it, no luck. I have version 1.5 at the bott

I searched for a topic on this and I'm having the same problem. I traded for Mass Drivers all the way up to HD driver 4, and I don't see anything higher than nano ripper on the shipyard. Anyways I have the Gal Civ 2 Gold Edition Dark Avatar game. version 1.5 at bottom left screen. Anyone know what the problem is?

Reply to Altarian Rebillion AAR in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

I couldn't believe it was this hard when you made it sound like it was pretty easy early. I'm sorry if I made this seem easy. It is easier with practice. I almost lost this game several times, and just barely skated through the early game. This could have easily been a loss. Money is your biggest problem with this, but you need to think of your empire like a giant cruise ship. You need to know where it is going long before it gets

Hi Wyndstar. I have a few questions in general about the all research centers and all manufacturing centers strategy. I kind of had this idea also about just building one type of building and specializing in different cities, kind of like in Civilization 4, but would never have gotten around to testing it. Didn't realize you kind of had to specialize all research on all planets till I tried it. So I was glad to see someone already have done it successfully. Anyways I've tried d
