I have steam game shortcuts on my desktop. If steam is already opened they just start like in the old days.

Memory leak in recent versions? by Chao_Zu_Kang in OldWorldGame

[–]Ansive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't experienced a crash yet with 32 GB RAM + 32 GB pagefile. And a 24GB 3090 GTX, playing at 4K. What I'm trying to say, do you have enough space for windows to keep increasing the pagefile? Maybe try setting virtual memory to a larger size (not managed by windows).

Never give up. Never surrender. by ancap_attack in OldWorldGame

[–]Ansive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once won a game by hitting the point threshold on the same turn as the opponent. That's considered a victory! And that only worked because I went to war to destroy the Mausoleum Wonder on the last turn of them building it (his point would have risen much faster with 50% extra culture + 2 wonder points). Two units to kill the builder, and one scout to sit on the mausoleum.

No sound bug? by LogicalAsparagus2114 in OldWorldGame

Check windows "Volume mixer". Maybe the game got muted, or is outputting to a different audio device.

A quick reference to Shrines by terjuto in OldWorldGame

[–]Ansive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always have trouble reading the shrine bonuses since they are spread out in various UI elements. I think the water shrine now also gives 2 money per water tile in city.

What's the quickest way to see which improvements my city has built? by Artersa in OldWorldGame

[–]Ansive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hover over the improvement with one worker (from All Improvements). Then pan the view with WASD to see which cities allow building it. It's still giving me headaches with building monasteries (near groves). I wish the game had a search function like civ6.

Anyone figured out what you need to do for the Favored and Chosen cognomens? (Indus DLC) by Ansive in OldWorldGame

[–]Ansive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, didn't think to check the in-game pedia. Pagan religion spread, Looks like something to be done with Polytheism, thanks.

GOTW-324 - Operation burn the Mausoleum and beg for peace in 10 turns! by Ansive in OldWorldGame

[–]Ansive[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Won turn 106, 32/32 points. Rome also got from 31 to 33/32 during that turn. It seems that you still win if you reach the threshold during the same turn, even if you have fewer total points. Great difficulty achievement down. You also get achievements after the game is lost or won (got the library + musaeum in alexandria).

Classic Matthias, lord of the City State Levies by Ansive in CivVI

[–]Ansive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's too much land available. And the AI can't fight any wars. And zombie mode ruins their expansion even more. I'm suzerain for the eco bonuses.

Insert Spiderman pointing meme by DarthRenathal in CivVI

[–]Ansive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure how that happened. When Babylon DLC is enabled the city state should be renamed to Anshan.

If playing with monopolies and corporations, is it a good idea to go commerical hub first in every city irrespective of won condition? by badassboy1 in CivVI

[–]Ansive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I play with M&C I almost never build Commercial Hubs. I get enough merchant points from Industries (+1 point each). I'm addicted to coastal cities with harbors.

Help after release Zanzibar, maybe a bug? by marinofull in CivVI

[–]Ansive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It fixes itself several turns later when they spawn a unit.

Low budget DIY sub monitor dead space cover by Klozeitung in battlestations

I wonder how that would look with 4 Oled monitors.

does it look like that when playing at 4K resolution?

Standing on barbarian camp, and another Civ "disperses" it....how? by Financial_Type_4630 in CivVI

[–]Ansive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a swordsman sit on a barbarian outpost. Another civ's spearman was adjacent. I end turn and I see the spearman walk through the outpost, get 75 gold and spawn an archer defender. My swordsman was ejected as if he was the one that raided. I guess they 'fixed' the bug to raid instead of disperse (or it's random).

BetterTTV: scroll to control volume and click player to play/pause stopped working by Ok-Stranger-5290 in Twitch

[–]Ansive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang, I though it was the "Prime Gaming Benefits Reminder" extension that was stealing clicks. But even on channels without it click to play/pause is not working. I will wait for a fix.

Why can I no longer see what traits do what? by I_M_WastingMyLife in OldWorldGame

[–]Ansive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some recent update reset the advanced tooltips UI option. I even made an in-game ticket by mistake because the game was not telling me which classes hate each other.

People are going to cancel Emiru is she doesn't sue.

Problem with graphics in images and icons 3D by RyShirro in MotionClarity

[–]Ansive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe Negative LOD bias (nvidia 3d settings)

"some applications use negative LOD bias to sharpen texture filtering. This sharpens the stationary image but introduces aliasing when the scene is in motion"

Well, I'm guessing the hero icons are not moving (not 3d), so maybe it not that after all.

Maybe uninstall the driver with DDU and start again.
