Reply to Nice very quick shipping Stardock in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I got my box in the mail on Monday also. It was the last straw I tells ya! 1) No DRM on the game. 2) Transparency and communication with the users 3) Download AND a hard copy sent quickly with no hassle. That last one pushed me over the edge. I fell head over heels in love with Stardock. "Stardock, you had me at 'Hello'."

No ship textures. Does my hardware suck? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

After playing, and then looking at people's screenshots, I realized my ships don't have high quality textures. I've got the basic hull and trim colors, but there's no bump mapping or anything. Typically there's a setting under options in other games that let's you scale your graphics quality, but I didn't see anything like that in GCII. So, does my graphics card just suck, or do I have some sort of bug? I've got a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX420. Any suggestions
