Does anyone want to start a pool about how soon after DA is available before the first complaint is posted. I get dibs on one minute. I promise I won't make a single complaint for at least one week.

the real question is: Will there be enough bandwidth to finish the DA download before next year, lol

And guys, realistically, give them some time. As with anything complex, problems pop up last minute, and their probably still working on one or two things. Brad said it will be up before 12am, and so it will be. But i would expect it to be up this evening, not this afternoon, given they may need some time for last minute issues. Relax, breathe, and hope for bandwidth later .

One that I forgot to ask the Stardock crew... did you guys finally arrive at a file size for the download? I know that it still may vary but there were a few numbers that varied enough to warrant my need to know.

Spirit_RETRO, you don't work around dev types by any chance?

Mumble, I have a vague impression that the DA discs will ship in February with the 1.0 version and the betas will all be download-only.

I'm also pretty sure I read somewhere around here that DL and DA will cohabit. At least I hope they will b/c I doubt I'll be able to make myself finish my current gigantic game before I get my paws on the DA beta.

I have changed my email address since I ordered Dread lords but I have always been able to get the updates from Stardock.When I went to the preorder page it had all my info when I logged in ,including my old email address.
Question. Can I order with the old info or will you have to send me a confirmation number which I cannot get now that my email has changed.Don't have old serial number available unfortunately.
Or can I just update my email address before ordering?

I had pre-ordered DA with my old e-mail address and SD support told me that I needed to pre-order DA with my new email address again. They did ofcourse cancel the pre-order with old email. Guess their system is not the most flexible out there.

It's going to come in around 350MB last I heard.

Does this mean that you could download the file using stardock central on one machine, copy the file to perhaps a 500MB usb thumb drive and then install the file on a different machine without using stardock central?

I guess what I'm asking is if stardock central is needed for the download only and the installation can proceed essentially standalone, or is stardock central an integral part of the installation process?

Good query Mumblefratz since it hits the nail on the head as far as what I am trying to do. I imagine Kryo will be cruising by soon enough...

SDC is really the best way, since an update to GC2 itself will also be required and there won't be a standalone patch for that as far as I'm aware. I'm not sure why you're opposed to SDC though.
