preordering GalCiv 2

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi,

I plan to preorder the game and I'd like to know how the download exactly works. Will I be able to download each upcoming beta? And how does the download of the final version work?
Thanks

If you preorder GC2 standalone, you have to wait until the release of a new beta phase before you can download it (there's a couple-week period after the beta's release to get it). Unfortunately, unless beta4's window is still open, you'll have to wait until the final release to gain access, as I don't think any further public beta phases are scheduled after beta 4 (IIRC the next and final phase will be the private release candidate testing).

If, however, you purchase (or already own) a TotalGaming.Net subscription, you can purchase GC2 with TGN Tokens and wou will have immediate access to the latest available beta build via StarDock Central (regardless of the beta release windows).

Once the game is released, the downloadable version will remain available via SDC. If you ordered the boxewd version, wou will receive GC2 by mail (though you'll also have access to it on SDC once you've got your final registration key).
