"O n March 5, 2006, a StarForce employee posted a link to an illegal download source of Galactic Civilizations 2, a game developed by StarDock which does not use mandatory copy protection.[13] StarForce later issued an apology for this act after it received a great deal of attention on the Internet. [14]" The plot thickens! You see I was not entirely crazy to get the two confused. It looks like starforce tried to bring stardock down with them! Check out the article.

Do a google search for starforce and you will be amazed at what comes up! http://www.glop.org/starforce/ Even Wikipedia has horrible things to say about it ]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarForce Starforce is bad....really really bad!

Lol. Other "similar names" include Star Trek, Star Wars, Starlancer and Sword of the Stars. Make sure you don't confuse those either. Sorry, couldn't resist. <img id="ImageResize_Image_1" onload="ImageResizer.createOn(this);" src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif"

That totally fixed it. Thank you!

Hi I am really excited to play Galciv Dread Lords on my new computer but it's having lots of trouble. My old machine runs it OK but a bit laggy. My new and upgraded uber machine runs everything perfectly except for this. My troubles are: 1) The little display window that shows rotatable objects such as planets in the planet managing screen, or ships in the shipyard spin REALLY fast and nonstop. It's not terrible but it sure is annoying, 2) If I scroll the mouse around I hav

Ah ok maybe I had it mixed up with starforce. Is starforce use with the X series? X3 the reunion etc.?

I can't find a file called prefs.ini

I'm having weird spinning, map scrolling crazyness and the ship battles flicker and look horrible. Is this due to using xp pro 64? Thanks

Wait one problem. I use windows XP x64 Professional. Will that be a problem?

The map scrolls crazily. When I am in city mode that little icon in the upper left that shows the planet spins and rotates like crazy, same for ship. Anything in a window that is rotatable goes absolutely crazy. Has anyone else experienced this? Need some help here. Thanks

Looks like there is no help available for this guy?

I've heard the horror stories about stardock and so I was very concerned about installing this game. But I like this type of game so I decided to risk it. Will I need to have lots of background programs running, extreme security issues and complex registration process etc? My main concern is those sneaky little background programs that slow down my computer performance. I'm willing to deal with the other fascist policies if the game runs well. Thanks.
