Hello:
Just finished downloading GalCiv II and DA through Stardock and everything seemed to download and install well. However, now when I start either game, they both error out after the opening video.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do find it strange that the parent folder for the GalCivII is named GalCiv2Demo.
Here is the debug.err text from GalCiv II:
