[quote who="appaloosa51" reply="75" id="3610761"] What in the world happened to this update ! .... there is NO ship design now on the main menu .. and it only shows Dread Lord only as a campaign .. what happened to Twilight and the other campaigns ! ... am I missing something or did this update actually remove thingys ! .. WTF ! ... please explain ... [/quote] Sounds like your installation is hosed. I just finished un-installing the original 3 games, and insta

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="64" id="3610545"] It is all set and you can download the updated version from your Stardock account. If you don't own Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Edition, but you own an earlier version through Stardock feel free to contact support and we will upgrade you to the Ultimate Edition for free so you can get the new patch. Merry Christmas everyone! Remember Drengin gingerbread men are made from real men. [/quote]

[quote]I had this issue, I was able to fix by hacking the registry (I have XP, so I dont know how this will work with other OS's). The issue is with SDC and what it writes to the registry, not Impulse actually.If you are comfortable with regediting then you can do the following:goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\GalCiv2\Twilight\add a New String Value called Path (do this by right clicking on Twilight folder in regedit), right click on the Path string you just created, and ty

The only thing I absolutely could not stand from Enterprise was the beginning theme song! Besides that, I liked it pretty well.

[quote]For the fantasy strategy game, I am hoping to write a book or some very long story guide that would come with the collector's edition of the game.[/quote] You really know how to tease us don't you?!?! Now I am even more impatient for the game! Keep up the great work, am loving GC2 and both its expansions.

[quote] And the fantasy game will probably be pre-ordered immediately if it will be anything like the old Baulder's Gate or Morrowind/Oblivion. The fantasy game's a TBS, not an RPG. And sins has already been in public (preorder) beta for a while now. [/quote] Fantasy TBS?? SOLD!!! Also, a

Perhaps an "Alien Tech" tab would be the best method in this situation? That way, you only automatically upgrade to your own types of research, but still have the ability to use any stolen/traded tech you might acquire. And definitely no replacing anything on the tech tree, perhaps start a new branch for stolen traded alien tech.

I have a high end computer with ...., four MB of RAM, and four megabytes alocated to virtual memory. Let me guess - with Windows 3.1 installed OS? LOL, yep, sounds like he is using up most of his 10MB hard drive just as memory. Might need to re

I have posted this a couple times, so hope I don't sound like a broken record, but... How about putting Planet Type (HeavyGrav, Toxic, etc.) and status (red-0, yellow-50, green-100) on the Colony tab of the CivManager. Please!! Pretty please!

Son of a bitch! "I paced the war room in my underpants, puzzled." I spit grape soda all over my monitor!!

Ran 1.6 beta5 test 2 for a couple hours with a 7800GTX and intel chip. Working very nicely. Would still love to see something on the Civilization Manager screen, on the Colonies tab that would state what type the planet is (e.g. HeavyGravity, Toxic, Aquatic, etc.) and at what state it is at (0%, 50% or 100% production). Even if you just threw in the same icon as in the main planet screen and allowed us to hover over it to get a tooltip, that would be great. Would make it much easier for

ps. when are other betas coming out? it was also mentioned that there was going to be a series of betas for the 1.6 update. just curious. thanks for all the GREAT work!! The devs are working on them, but no ETA yet. im running 1.59.078 Is this the beta Yes 1.59.078 is 1.6b1, however there were issues with SDC updating the version number without actually updating the game prope

Just an update, tried the un-check and re-check to no avail. But that did give me the idea to mess with other settings in SDCentral. Turns out by switching to a different server, everything worked great. Thanks for the tip gallagher.

I've been using the newer 1.40X.070 GC2 and 0.20a.031 DA build on my computer at work since it came out, went to upgrade my home computer up to this build from the previous build (think it was GC2= 1.40X.067 and DA= 0.20.020 or something close to that)and SDCentral is not showing that on my home computer as an upgrade option, I made sure show beta builds is still checked and have right clicked on both the DarkAvatar and Galciv2 and done the "check for application updates" within SDCentral. Just

Perhaps when agents increase your espionage level they should disappear, so they can't be re-used, that would seem to balance it a bit.

I played one game where I had an agent placed on the planet. When I took the planet, my agent stayed in place and I couldn't remove him. He didn't show up in the espionage tab as either a placed agent or an enemy agent. But on the planet screen it still showed the Red Spy logo on the building I had placed there. I tried demolishing the building and rebuilding there to no affect, also tried quiting game and reloading. I do believe this was the original beta though, and have not seen it s

Congratulations! I haven't watched that show since G4 destroyed Tech TV. Aye. Right before G4 took over, I was excited, thinking: "Cool, more video game content." Then the switch and mutilation of "The Screensavers", how disappointing. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Mad.gif" bord

errr before you rush out and load up the demo don't forget the homm5 demo has starforce!! So does Spellforce 2 demo! using a different copy protection scheme from demo to full version makes sense because many pirates use the demo version which has no protection to hack the full version. I believe Ubi

My advice: Push the AI. It is unique for each Civ. and critically acclaimed, etc. Push customization options. Push Ship Builder. Screenshots. No art concept type stuff. Agreed, definitely no art concept. Stick with a couple of very nice screenshots with features and awards smaller.</f

Congrats on the sales figures. And thanks for no DRM! It is a great thing not being treated like a criminal.
