Argh. Stardoccckkk. :(

from GalCiv2 Forums
Just a quick question... is there no way to patch the game to latest version without Stardock? Does anyone have a download link where I can download the latest patch, because as I understand, 1.4X is an old patch (the one listed on their site).

The computer that can actually run the game isn't connected to the internet. :\

This is just a guess, but when 1.6 comes out it should be stand alone.

Well a guess is as good as anything, and here's hoping. And for all devs reading (these developers seem really receptive...), I'd love you forever if you posted a stand-alone 1.6.

Well, I guess a stand alone patch will be available when it will leave beta status

1.4x *is* the latest patch. After that came Dark Avatar (which is version 1.5) and currently they are working on 1.6, but only for Dark Avatar.

(I know, Dread Lords has been upgraded to 1.5 as well but that was only to make it ready for Dark Avatar)

I am not aware of any plans to release a standalone patch for DA in the near term. So for now, updates are only available via SDC.

If you play on a machine that is not internet-connected, you can use SDC's archive option and email activation to update the game there.

Generally, if you can post on the forum, you can patch your game.

This is an absurd statement. Many, many people post from work or from another pc than the one they play the game on. Why is it for you to say that if you can post you can update, there is a real issue about Stardock no longer releasing stand alone updates because like the op, many do not have net on the pc they use to play. Open your eyes and think about what you are saying before posting.

Here is a link to the .zip of the latest patch. WWW Link Here is one to the OP where it was found. WWW Link There is a saying where I come from: 'If it was a snake, it would have have bit you.'

Thanks... the thread there says you need 1.5X to unzip those, and though on the site here the download link (and indeed the installer itself) says 1.4X, when I run the game, it says 1.5...

That's a mighty bit of confusion!

So is the version on the site actually a mislabeled 1.5?

1.4x is the last posted standalone patch for Dread Lords; If you have GC2 Gold you already have better (1.5) and that patch does not apply to DA at all.

You can only get the 1.5x patch required for the 1.6 beta via SDC.
