I just want to make it clear to Kryo that I DO appreciate the fast response to my original post, and also the time and effort he took in trying to help me. I also want to make it clear that I hate to be irrate, and I agree that being calm about matters is the way to go, but I can't help but be peeved by NOT being able to upgrade my game. Also statements like "Nobody's forcing you to upgrade" are just stupid and VERY uncalled for in regards to my problem. Honestly at this point I could be cussing

Nobody's forcing you to update, though. No I'M forcing me to update...STARDOCK is forcing me to spend money on an either an internet connection for the PC I have GalCiv2 installed on, OR a flash drive that will hold their BS program that I'm only gonna use to update ONE friggin game. Of course nobody is forcing me to update the game THEY should've already had updated when it was released. Nobody FORCES anyone to update, but it's funny how EVER

I have to agree. I don't understand how every other gaming software company offers a direct patch download from their websites, or SOMEBODY offers it, but this SDC is beyond ridiculous. And piracy is just a cop-out. What the hell would I want with a patch if I hadn't already PAID for the game? I think Stardock has been rubbing elbows with Microsoft a little too long. This game is pretty much close to useless without a sane way to update it, especially when the new update offers an entirely new g

BTW Thx for the reply Kryo for what its worth

Effin Christ! Ya I can't do that because my flash isn't big enough to hold it. It'd take me ten days of coming back and forth to work just to get a few MB's worth of code. Wish I would not have opened the games because I would be taking them back. I have nothing but contempt for companies who FORCE their customers to these extremes when EVERY other program I have is as easy to update as transferring the patch via USB media device. This is way too cool of a game for me to want to take a piss on i

How the hell can I update GalCiv 1 and 2 without an internet connection. The only internet I have is at work, and I usually can download any patch I need onto a flash drive and take it home. As GalCiv is the ONLY game I own that I can't update, any help would be much appreciated
