Hey! I have the dots, but I don't get ANY of the lines showing up between leaders (peace lines, etc.) I thought this was a bug or something. Also, when playing 16 civs, only 8 show up and there's no way to look at the other 8, even if you kill off some of the origially showing ones... I KNOW that must be a bug.

Has anyone else had problems with lines not showing up between the leaders for alliances, peace, etc? The picture posted clearly shows it's working for Freezuch.
Thanks.

If you look at the readme file it tells you how to view other civs in the foreign advisor screen (SHIFT-RIGHT CLICK).

As to the lines - you can click for the lines to be included in the box on the righthand side of the screen.

I have done that in every way possible, and the lines still don't show up. I've checked and unchecked those boxes over and over and can't get any lines...

That advisor screen is buggy as all get out. Even when you start with less than 8 players. I started with five in one game, couldn't see two of the circles at all. Could still click on em, but thats it.

Next game i started two of the circles were blue. completly. WTF?

this thing is loaded with blatant bugs.

Looks like I'm one of the lucky ones who didn't get the annoying bugs and crashes in the game.

You should be sure to have the latest OpenGL drivers installed for your graphics card. that screen, as well as other advisor screens, use OpenGL and if OpenGL is not present, not only will you lack lines, but you will experience major slowdowns.

Yeah I tried that... still no lines, WTF. I have the boxes checked and definitely have peace and war with some of the civs there, so it should be showing something. Must be a bug...but with only my copy??? GRRRRRrrrr.

You need to click on the civ. that you want to view the relationships for.

Yeah I made sure I have the latest drivers installed... I just don't get *ANY* lines between leaders at all, no matter what I try. I wonder if I should try reinstalling? Hmmm. Other ideas... anybody.

Thanks


PS: Grrrr... I'm getting this "Server too busy" message WAY too much these days here at this forum. It took me 15 tries so far to get this through.
