I've seen a few posts regarding the weird "spiked" ship and space station graphics in game. I have yet to see a solution (and am waiting for a respond via tech support on memorial weekend, not good).
I currently run 2 gigs of ram on a Sempron 3100+ processor with a MSI 6600 graphics card, though I do only have 3.66 gigs left on the hard drive. Gal Civ II ran flawlessly, in case you were curious.
My version of Dark Avatar is the 1.6 beta 4 version because Stardock Central updated my used copy to that (and without a serial code that works I can't get a good version).
I wonder if anyone has any insight/assistance/info that may help me with any or all of these issues. I bought Gal Civ II new when it first came out, but when I heard the expansion was download only I wasn't too happy (I like having the materials and the manual, in case the company that made the game goes out of business (like with NetStorm: Islands at War).). On top of that I did not want to pay $30 for the expansion + the game I already have in stores.
I located a used copy for $17.99, and to be able to upgrade it to the proper version and obtain a usable serial number it'll run me another $20. I do not like this idea at all, so I haven't done it nor do I have plans to.
Other than that, I am willing to do almost any suggestion to make this expansion work.
