[quote who="sdRohan" reply="71" id="3860678"]A video driver update is kind of a big deal - it totally refreshes the display and restarts many running Windows services - my point, it's a rather disruptive act. That one may have to restore a Fences snapshot \ reboot when doing any video driver update may be what someone has to do with every update - something that is rather infrequent already.

I was hopeful that the new beta might fix a bug that has been in Fences since version 3 (one of the only reasons I paid to update to version 4, which still has the bug). Every time I update my video card drivers, I have to reboot my system because Fences forgets how to display its fences at full resolution. You can see before and after desktop screenshots here in an Imgur post . I've got a "sidebar" with Rainmeter and Tweetz, and my icon fe

Reply to Fences 4 1.0 Release Issue Report Thread in Fences Stardock Forums

I've got an annoying issue that has been in Fences since 3, and remains in 4. Any time I update my nVidia video drivers, Fences resets to a smaller resolution (using maybe 3/4 of the screen) as the new drivers initialize. They don't rescale to fit the screen until I reboot. My monitor's resolution is 2560x1440, though I'm 95% certain I had the same problem with my previous monitor (1920x1200), and I'm running Windows 10 Pro x64.

How do I move icons in Fences 4? in Fences Stardock Forums

I upgraded from Fences 3 to Fences 4 yesterday, and now I can't seem to move any icons from one fence to another, or even to a new position within a fence. I can drag icons and the move, but as soon as I drop them in a new location, they go right back to where they were. I assume I'm missing some new setting, but I looked and can't find anything that would seem to cause this behavior. I tried unlocking the feces, but just like with Fences 3, that only allows me to move and

I don't have much to add, but I wanted to thank you for the detailed explanation and lengthy discussion on the Star Control IP dispute. I had been following Reiche and Ford's posts occasionally, having been a huge fan of Star Control II when it was first released, but I wasn't aware the the other side of the story had been published in such detail until I asked about it on this forum and was directed to this thread. It's dismaying to see how much trouble has been caused over this

Same problem occurs pretty regularly with Dragon Age: Origin. It's definitely not limited to Fallout 3 (which has other issues in Win7).

Fences - Can't click on the tops of icons on unlocked fences in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

If a Fence is at the top of the screen, its label automatically moves to the bottom of the fence, which is nice. However, the top of the fence is still associated with the "move fence" function. The label side is ALSO associated with the "move fence" function, as you'd expect. Unless a user chooses to lock his fences (adding a couple steps to the process of expanding a fence to add an icon), this can be annoying. For example, if I have a mostly-maximized window (that's

Reply to Fences - Icons "fall out" and overlap (Win7 x64) in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

JMB - I do have icons set to align to a grid, but when the resolution changes (specifically, when exiting Fallout 3), it moves icons outside of fences into positions that are occupied by fences. If a new icon gets created (e.g. I just tried saving a webpage as a test), the icons do indeed get created outside the fences, in the first upper-left-hand spot with an open space.

Fences - Icons "fall out" and overlap (Win7 x64) in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

I just installed Fences after having some issues where I needed to go into Safe Mode, which reset my resolution and moved my icons all over the place. Having something to restore them is nice. I'm using Windows 7 x64 Pro with the latest free version of Fences. However, I'm having problems, specifically with Fallout 3. I run my desktop at 1600x1200, and Fallout 3 in the rather nonstandard resolution of 1280x960 (higher than 1024x768, still smooth, and proper aspect ratio). The Fa

New version release notes? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I just opened Stardock Central to see if there might be a new revision of the TA beta, and I saw that there was a minor revision of GC2 itself available.

Is there anyplace I can see what was fixed or updated in this minor release from within the last few days?

Reply to 4C Bugs - Ship editor 1 Crash, 1 Question, and 1 Comment. in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I was incorrect - the missing graphics do change on a per-load basis. For some reason, I had the same missing graphic for three consecutive loads of a savegame, but when I went back to it an hour or so later, the troop mod graphic was back. I kept playing until I found another missing graphic that crashed the game, though. Very annoying indeed!

I'm seeing the same crashing behavior, unfortunately. I just the troop module, and its box is blank. If I click the "modules" tab in the ship builder, the game crashes. It's entirely repeatable. In my case, it sounds like the bug is more serious - you can't use your old custom designs, but I can't add modules to ANY design. That's going to make continuing this game a bit difficult. Hopefully it doesn't happen with weapons, armor, or engines! I've been noticing other graphics not ap

Reply to TA beta: Suggestion: Custom Tabs (Fixed) in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I don't see this as a "new feature" issue - I see this as completing a feature that was half-implemented (okay, more than half). Unique tech trees with unique building types pretty much requires that some way be offered to manage the glut of near-duplicate building types that can result. I think DivineWrath's suggestion may be going further than necessary, but a simple command to manually make a building obsolete would constitute a very minor change, and would help make the new feature complet

I think something needs to be done to better manage multiple similar buildings. I haven't played the latest beta yet, but in the last game I played, I traded with all sorts of races for technologies that I couldn't research for. The result was that my building list on each planet was ridiculously long, making it hard to find any particular building, or notice when a new one was available as a result of a new acquired technology. On my list of "current best" buildings, I'd have three or four d
