84Mb? Mine was about 1Mb, and it simply patched Galciv.exe

Cant see a readme, or anyway to tell if it worked successfuly though.

In Stardock, check the main Gal civ bar, the one you used to download it, should show a new version in "available" its about 1mb

With sdc open, click on software tab, then click galactic civ, then click on the history button near bottom left

The 'readme' stuff is under the 'history' link at the bottom of the description on the left-hand side.

For me, GalCiv's date says 25/03/2003, but the history says 30/03/2003 and my update button is also greyed out. :notsure:

You need to have SDC enabled to show alpha/beta modules. The update is an alpha, if the 'a' in it's version number is anything to go by. :)

The changelog is accessable by clicking the "History" button over in the left hand pane on the software page.

I'm getting it now. It's listed as a 939KB update, which is not bad for the first real update I guess.
Just hope it doesn't kill my current game. ;)

Thanks for the tip on where to find the history, no wonder i cant find a readme.txt hehe.

My saved games are working fine. So i guess its a backwards compatible patch

Gotta love the speed at which the devs respond to user feedback and patch!

Your definitely refreshing SD fifth? Goto the options and enable Alpha/Beta releases, thats on by default on mine.

I cant even offer to put the patch up on mt FTP, as when i archieve it, it does the whole game

I'm showing 'pre-release versions', still no option to update, version's showing up as 1.01.029, no new version available. :(

Reply #18 from Stardock Forums Top
yes i have show pre-release version on. And ive clicked refresh several times. Even shut down sdc and restarted it.

Reply #19 from Stardock Forums Top
Try right clicking in the Drengin.net window and selecting refresh. Try shutting SDC down and reloading it.
If neither of those work, then... ermm.. I dunno. :)

o.k if u want to see the update currently it seems that u have to switch to server ''US Atlanta'' from the tools--->settings--->connections menu...
Reply #22 from Stardock Forums Top
You might also need to be on the Atlanta server. I swapped servers when I updated SDC, so that could be it...

Heh, oops, I should've refreshed the thread before posting. ;)

Make sure you have the latest SDCentral.

Go to help->about and make sure it's .99c 151 build 4 (or later depending on when you read this).
