How do I change back from the beta to the last official version?

Don't seem to have archived the previous versions...

March 27, 2006 7:27:52 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Does anyone know how to go back to the pre-beta patch? Unfortunately I didn't have Stardock Central on "auto-archive", so I don't have an archive copy to restore.

Also the direct download link on this website doesn't seem to go anywhere useful, it just shows a load of collector's edition content.

Anyone have any ideas?

Uninstall, reinstall, and re-apply the latest non-beta patch?

Only way I can think of.

That and also you can go to SDC and uncheck the box for beta release and download the previous version.

I don't quite understand your suggestion mayito8888 - how can I download the previous version? Do you mean the "Show pre-release versions" checkbox? Even if I untick that, when I tell it to update it seems content that I have the latest version, and doesn't give me an option to go back to a previous version.

Yes, you need to untick this

what should happen is that the 1.0X version should appear in the right column, allowing to update it. Did you see this?

BTW, having SDC on autoarchive is a very nice feature and a popup automatically appears to enable this when you tick the "show prerelease version".

Well, the first item in mislabelled: even if it appears as the bonus pack, it is the latest 1.0X patch

That is annoying. It is strange that the only thing that appears is the version 1.10[b].006 . What is your version of SDC?
Did you rightclick to get a check about application update? Sid you try to refresh the XML data (in tools/settings/internet) to redownload all XML descriptions?

Aha! Ingenious. Okay, I downloaded the "bonus pack", ran it and I'm back to 1.0X.010! Great, thanks!

I believe there's an option in Stardock, default unchecked, to archive a version when you update so that you can rollback later.

Link

Here you go... This is the link to 1.0X from the Main Page.

(I'm surprised that no-one else thought of this...)
