Is there another way? There are utilities that can move folders and change the registry settings as well. There might even be freeware ones. But I'd be careful. Badly coded proggies like this can mess up your registry permanently, making your computer unable to boot at all. Norton Utilities comes to mind, but it's rather expensive.
So you are saying I just copy the GalCiv2 folder to anywhere I want (even another computer) and recreate a shortcut pointing to the location of the startup exe file? (If so, that would be great) Ah, no. Because the registry would not be corrected. The game won't run. Best bet would be delete and reinstall, changing the destination folder
Pre-download e-mail arrived. Pre-download went off without a problem. 1,023KB/s for the first files. 300KB/s average for the next three folders. 1.08 GB total. I'm sorry I can't report any problems. Maybe on release day. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
We're targeting 2pm EST tomorrow. So is this a Valentine's Day gift to us who pre-ordered? A day of crashing servers and obnoxious posts? Thanks, Brad. I'll send you some dead roses... <T
S'funny. I heard all about that starforce and rootkit stuff a while ago. I really like Silent Hunter III. I wouldn't trash a game because of it. Although I understand all of the issues that people have with it. You know what? I have more important things to worry about than that. I will keep SH3 on my system. I also have HL2 and use Steam. I don't like it. And when something that can wipe the rootkits without killing my games shows up, I'll use it. I have Rootkit Revealer on my comp. I could kil
Greatly looking forward to Supreme Commander myself. Loved Total Annihilation, once I got past the "build ships in the lagoon" mission. I don't recall if it was mission 6 or 7 but it had me stumped for a while. I almost gave up on the game there. Glad I didn't.
Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords looks like what a sequel should be, taking the best of the seminal game and improving on it while taking a few risks for the sake of innovation. High praise indeed. Sounds like they like it. The more previews I read the more painful the wait. Arggghh
Well I'll tell ya. I've recently played the Empire at War demo. My feelings? If I just had $40/45/50 to spend on one game, I'd go for GalCiv2. Why? I'm not a RTS person. Which is not to say that EAW is not a cool game. Quite the opposite. It's one of the first RTS games that I've enjoyed for a while. It seems (by the demo) to have toned down the crap that turns me off to RTS games. There is one, and only one commodity. Money. You get that from owning planets. Nice, says I. The contro
I appreciate all of the replies to this thread. It seems that a lot of people remember the quality that was/is MoM. I too would love to see a revamp of the game with up to date graphics and a few tweaks to the AI. The funny thing is, that I believe that MoM would be as big a seller as GalCiv2. While there are only a few posts here about it , I think it would be big for two reasons: 1. This kind of TBS game obviously has fans. And there are a lot more people out there who
Q: I want to purchase the game at Stardock and download immediately but I still want the box. Can I do this? A: YES. If you purchase the second option (CD purchase) you still get a serial # to download the game. That serial # is temporary (i.e. will expire) but will let you play the game until the box arrives. This is fro
I just pre-ordered and I went through it so fast that I don't recall if it had a Change Quantity button, but most online order forms do. Just change it there. Or back out and reset the checkout completely. Or just close your browser and redo the whole thing. Until you actually send in the final order nothing will be saved.
Let me be the first, in this thread at least, to say. Let us download it! If I pre-order the boxed version, can I also download it before I actually get the box? Maybe this is a stupid question and if so, I apologize. I'd like the game but I don't think I'd like to buy two of them. Nothing personal. But I'd like the boxed version as well as being able to get it ASAP on my hard drive.
Star Control 2 Indeed. Guess I'll hit Supreme Shogun's link for that. Assuming it's in the database and downloadable. I have that as a bookmark. Go figure. In fact I downloaded the music to SC2 a while back just to listen to. Some great techno there. My favorite sound, in ga
Just a thought about game replayability. I got Master of Magic shortly after it was released. Up until I installed Win XP it was on every machine that I owned starting with my 486 DX 50. Recently I was able to get it to run on XP with a combination of DOSbox and D-Fend. So lately I've been playing it yet again. This is even after I just got a Geforce 6800 CS/OC 256MB vid card. The graphics are, shall we say, less than state of the art. <img src="http://images3.stardock.com/gc2/smile
