Feature request: A setting to allow the game to start in whichever resolution my desktop is currently set to. That would make the life of us laptop-users-who-sometimes-play-at-their-LCD-TVs a lot easier.
Buying online is the best way to buy games, when done the Stardock-way. But only then. Those other crappy services (like Steam and all the rest with their "great" copy protection that prevent you from playing offline, or you can't ever get to work because they don't play with your firewall, etc) are the cause why digital only delivery has such a bad ring to it. I have been buying Object Desktop, GalCiv1, GalCiv2 from Stardock: Easy, no hassle, does not treat me like a criminal and sees
Still one guestion lingers. Why do modern games tend to put stuff into the "my documents"? Seems to me bit stupid to have game files in two separate places or am I missing something? Because it makes sense to separate the game program from your save game data. When you uninstall a program you expect it to go away, leave nothing behind, just be
Prohass: Is your mouse driver configured to interpret a click on the wheel as a "third mouse button"-click? It's the default for Microsoft mice, but I have seen Logitech devices where the the middle button does something else entirely, or people who have changed the default behaviour. See control panel->Mouse
There are also planets named after characters in Final Fantasy VI in the campaign. Seem to be nods toward works that the Stardockers liked. That or Squaresoft was involved in GalCivII
Well, IMHO firing arcs have no place in this game. It's a strategic level game, on tile of space is a PARSEC! How can it matter from which direction an enemy is approaching when all you see is that both ships / fleets fight in a space so large that we can't even imagine the distances involved. BTW, even on a tactical level firing arcs would be next to irrelevant, as you can turn your ship in space in an instant and as such point any weapon anywhere. You might even spin the ship at ins
Just downloading it, too. But man, it's nowhere near as fast as the preload. Seems we are not the only ones to currently leech.
Don't make fun of this, that funky H5N1 chicken plague virus is on the lose here in Germany! No problem, come tomorrow you won't leave the house anymore, anyway. The only birds I will be messing with will be those of the spacefaring kind...
Stardock's licensing is generally per-user, not per-machine Excellent! Just don't try to install it on every machine at your office Considering that that would be on the about 2500
I might be a little off topic, but I can't really find a better place to ask, so: Is it ok to preload (and possibly later run) the game on both my laptop and my desktop? Before trying I can't really be sure if the game runs on the laptop, which would be my preferred machine to play GalCiv II, if it won't I would of course like to play on the desktop machine (which I know will handle the game well). Is there a licensing issue to consider? Will I burn in hell (longer)?
