This is nuts it won't accept my code and i run a search for this "sig.bin" file and it dosn't exist?
wat the hell is going on?
and before anyone asks i did get the update from this website.
ARGH! why did i even bother i knew it was gonna cause problems cos everything does

Great job guys it runs like a dream!

This makes the games from the old version load longer it seems.

Yeah, they said in the release notes that you shoud abandon your old save games because the patch won't work correctly with them.

Great game, but this is a must for future releases hopefully soon.
I am finding that when i want to upgrade ships in the shipyard, the little icons at the top left that tell you what the ship has are almost useless, their is no text or info and makes it very hard to work out what level of the item you have in your ship, I t takes ages and a lot of fiddling to remove and check what the item is and what level and space it takes up. Upgrading is becomeing such a pain and time consuming, Can you have a description or some pop up screen that tell you the information you need when the mouse goes over the items in your ship.
Ideally I would like to click on the item, the left of the screen that lists all the items available will highlight the item and i would quickly have the information available and readily look at the left of the screen to see what can be upgraded of the same item type.
That would be the biggest improvement to the game

I'm still having a problem that appeared in 1.1. When I upgrade a ship that I've already designed, I actually lose everything and have to start from scratch. It's as though 'upgrade' means the same as 'new'. Does anyone know if it's a bug or am I doing something wrong?

It seems that the Dread Lord AI got a great deal stronger with this.

I had been playing and winning the first Dread Lord scenario by having the other races conquer them. In this iteration, the Dread Lords were smart enough to come after any planet of mine that even attempted to build one starship, let alone try to get enough cobbled together to have a fleet (What would mask ones preperations at building a fleet, anti-espionage?)

So the other races and the Dread Lords kept trading worlds, but the Dread Lords seem to slowly be expanding. After spending more than twice what I normally would spend playing this I threw in the towel.

Hum, you should disable the anti-virus too. And 512 mb? Isn't the game recommended for 1Gb of ram? I have 1GB of ram and an Athlon 3000+. I'm playing at huge galaxy with crippling AI and i did not notice much difference. I do have a Geforce 6800 GT as a graphic card, which must help some.

The eye candy is nice but does not give much to the game. After a while, you just don't notice it anymore so you might as well turn it off. What they should do is take the time while i'm doing my turn to crunch some AI so that when the ai play, he does not need much more time to do his stuff. Of course you will have to give priority to the stuff i'm doing, like moving my ships and attacking, but still it would be an optimization over waiting for the ai turn.

Oh and i've notice a little bug still present with the latest version. The Torians seems to make a check point where they send most of their ships and they just sit there, doing nothing and not assembling into a fleet and coming after me like they should. This was reported waaaaaaaaaaay before the patch so i tought it would be fixed. Granted, i have seen it far less often, but it still happen.

Guys--

I have toi play GalCiv II on a laptop with no internet access. I DL patches etc. here, and port it over via external media. Unfortunatley, after running the 1.1 patch, I can no longer play the game. It asks for my serial number, which I input, but the game then attempts to access the internet. The Secure laptop I use to play will NEVER have access to the internet, so how can I get it authenticated so I can play with the patch installed? Thanks.
