Bill, It is ctrl-esc, but the button would still be nice.

It would be nice to have a button so that you could minimize (this is usually in the upper right corner) the screen without getting completely out of the game. A lot of my other games have this and I find it very convienent as I sometimes need to put the game on temporary hold while I or my wife do other computer business. Just a thought!
Why isn't the MetaVerse updating? My scores show up (when I click on my ID on the MetaVerse list) but the number of games and the total score is not being updated on the list. :(
Ray, Sorry for the delay! Updated frome 1.10A.072 to 073 and that apparently fixed the problem!
Plus this doesn't happen EVERY time, just about 9 times out of 10.
Ray, The morale is usually between 75 and 100% with the average about 86%.
I don't know if this is a bug or what, but after I updated to 1.10, most of my games result in my worlds including Sol losing population for the first dozen or so turns. A world that I put a 100 Million colonists on is down to 5 million in just a few turns (3 or 4). And these are all PQ15+ planets! By the time I build 2 or 3 colony ships on Sol, it's population is down to 500 or 600 million and will reach 5 million within a half dozen turns. This even happens when I have the maximum populati
I have reinstalled! It still says "Download Manager: Idle"! I am logged in and my registration is correct, but I can't get to the download page! I just go in a "circle" from Stardock Home to Drengin.net to StarDoc.net to GalCiv Home, etc.! I know it's probably something that I am doing wrong or not doing, but I just can't get to the update page. I don't think I'm stupid, but following the directions doesn't seem to work either. HELP!!!
When I try to get on Stardock to update, I get a message saying, "Download manager idle" and I can't get in.
For the benefit of an ignorant old game player who just wants to play the game and have fun. How about someone giving a link that will take a person to a location where one can download version 1.05, which is what I thought was the subject of this thread? Most everyone here is talking about how great/bad version 1.05 is, but no one is informing us poor peons how to find a place where it can be downloaded. I know that makes me sound dumb, but I am smart enough to download the
On page 23 under morale, it states that Transports take 1000 million and Combat (or Battle) Transports take 5000. In the games I have played, Transports hold up to 500 million troops and Combat Transports can hold up to 2.5 Billion!!! Just a typo, or a future adjustment? Ken
I noticed that after I downloaded the patch that was in effect on 06/09/03 at 3:41 PM CST that the opening music was jerky. Could this be a bug or is it just my 'puter? Ken
T-Man, Just a word of thanks for all your hard work on clearing up the game submission problems to the Metaverse. After submitting 9 games (2 lost, 6 you fixed for me, and the one I finally finished and submitted successfully last night!), I have come to the conclusion that either you finally got games to submit correctly or as in the case of the 6 games that you "fixed", there was a human error (mine) in the submission, or both. Anyway, thanks again for working so har
T-Man, Six of my games show up now! That's enough for me! Thanks a bunch! Ken
T-Man, I just submitted ANOTHER game (14 pts) and it still doesn't show up. It was submitted as KLStafford (the way I am registered), I have patch 1.04, and I am not using any mods! How long does it take to show up? So far None of the 8 games I have submitted (2 with patch 1.04) have show up on the Metaverse. And yes, I was also online at the time.
T-Man, I submitted yet another game and it doesn't show up in the Metaverse either (that makes 8)! I submitted as KLStafford (as I am registered), I was online, and I have patch 1.04. I don't know what else to do. If I am doing everything right, then the trouble must be on your end.
T-Man, Thanks, but I have been submitting as KLStafford not KLSTrafford or KLStrafford! I am registered as KLStafford and have submitted as such. It is possible that some went in as KLSTafford but there is not and never has been an r in it, therefore that is not the problem. I will try to submit again and let you know! Ken
I have upgraded to patch 1.04 and STILL can't get a game to show up in the Metaverse!!!!! I have submitted a total of 6 games in the last 2 weeks and NONE of them have shown up, so I am still not listed in the metaverse! How long will it be before this problem is fixed? Should I bother to keep checking? Should I ask for my money back? I like the game, but the Metaverse is NOT performing as advertized!!!!! I have also been waiting over 10 days for an answer to my email about
I have submitted 3 games AFTER I registered, I was online at the time I submitted them and should have a score of 14+26+56=96, but I don't show up at all anywhere in the Metaverse!!! How long will it be before these show up in the Metaverse? What good is it to have a "feature" that you "hype" when it doesn't work? Please fix it ASAP or before! :( (:(
How about someplace on the Economics screen that tells you how much money you have? Not how much per turn, but a total of what has accumulated to date after income and expenses!
