Yeah, each time there was no sig.bin, and no new one got created with any step. But untinstalling, deleting the game directory, and then redownloading/reinstalling from Stardock Central seems to have fixed it! Thanks!

I got a new computer. I copied over my old directories, and reinstalled on top of them. I never tried launching it, and continued on my reinstall spree. I since packed my CD back up. I just updated a couple of days ago and tried to run it today and get the error message: "The product appears to be validated but the serial number or the machine SID don't match." Looking up that up, I found some posts about deleting the sig.bin when dealing with a new Windows install. Okay, d

I agree that having to make 20 or more constructors per starbase is too much. Pass a law that limits them to 2, 4 or 8 modules then I don't see the problem. Yeah, it's too much, but after about 6-10, for most starbases, I start running out of

I had that happen too. I *think* it was because I gave them a ship out of range of their planets. They couldn't move it because trying to move to any square was out of range for the ship. Later I moved ships next to their planet before gifting them and they moved them right away.

You should get Stinger II, Stinger III, Stinger IV, etc. They do the same damage as Stinger, but are smaller (and should cost more).

It's like developing a WW2 grand strategy game without understanding major concepts of Earths geography, like the differences between continents and cities. But how could you design a WW2 game? The war ended 60 years ago! Time travel is impossible. The idea that you could go back in time and experience World War II is beyond rationalization.

I see in the My Games, there's a prefs.ini where I can point mods anywhere I want, but not so for the rest of the directory. I hate automatically created directories in My Documents, and even worse when they aren't a built in window's folder (so that you can tell windows to put these directories somewhere else) and every publisher seems to have a different idea of a naming convention. In short, I want the "My Games" info for my GalCiv 2 stuff to be in the proper place: namely the Gal

#1 You can "grab" the map with the left mouse button and move it around by holding it down. You may never want to edge scroll again. I use this a lot, although sometimes the map seems to stick on the cursor and I have to click again to release. It's annoying when it happens. I'm not sure if I'm engaging some other feature though.
