I have installed Galactic Civ 2 after re-imaging my machine. I can't remember what email address I had used to register the game when I 1st got it a few years ago. I don't even remember what my user name on stardock was. So I made this new ID and still can't patch the game. Is there somewhere I can go and just download the patch rather than jumping through hoops and getting nowhere?
