I have SDC but it always seems so slow to download anything, can anyone post a link for the 1.2B?. I downloaded the first 2 patchs from the web site because SDC was only reaching 2 kb/sec at most and would have taken about 10 years to download. Does it use ports used by p2p software that my ISP puts caps on? and is there a way to change the ports it uses if it uses ports?

Ok, Its seems to be a hardware problem. I had to replace my Hard Drtaive a while ago, before that all my games ran without problems. I tried playing Half Life 2 last night and while the game played fine, the menus were distorted. Me thinks its either my memory or Graphics card, I will try swapping some ram about and see if this changes anything. I'm hopeing its not too serious as it will be a rebuild job from scratch.

I have thought of the overheating element. I have installed Half Life 2, which is very graphics intensive and it does not have any problems in the game, but when I go to the menus, thwy are sometimes distorted. (I would have thought it would be the other way around). When Playing GalCiv2, as soon as I click on play game, it distortsThe default settings for temperature for my GFX car (which I can't change) is 145 C, it never gets anywhere near that. This is really confusing me, I hope its not

Dd you know that you can use the CDs as tea coasters as the game won't run on my system that exceeds all the reccommended specs?

OK, I have reinstalled the game and it is worse than ever. I'm guessiing that it does not like my computer. piekillerman, FYI, the minimum graphics card is a 32mb Direct x 9.0c card, I have a 6600GT as shown in the debug code. I can run Half Life 2 smoothly on high graphics. Looks like another one for the bin as I can't get a refund now its been opened.

OK, here goes my screen shot (hope this works) This pic shows the text that i cant read at times The next one is small white lines at the bottom of the screen This one is the only time I have seen so many lines on one page

The start of my debug follows. I am running on the latest drivers, I was wondering if some of the graphics files might be corrupt. I have some screenshots but don't know how to show them in my post. Do they need to be linked to a webpage or uploaded from my pc? Any help will be appreciated, I really want to be able to enjoy this game Debug Message: Version v1.1 last updated on: Mon Apr 24 19:03:49 2006 Debug Message: Could not find a TGN Serial No. Debug Message: ****

Lo All, I have only brought this game recently and only beginningto explore it. Since my installation and updates, I have weird white lines in the game. They vary in size, on the mini map and ship icons, they are smal, but on the background they are massive. They appear at random when I load the game. I also get very poor quality text on certain screens like the tutorial screen, but other screens are fine. Has anyone else had problems like this, and how do I p

I also have these white lines in the retail version and they are very annoying when they cover the text. I have not found a way of getting rid of them
