from GalCiv2 Forums
HEY ANYONE.

I NEEEEEED HELP. IVE ALREADY ASKED STARDOCK CENTRAL OR SALES EMAIL OR WHAT EVER. A WEEKK GONE STILL NO REPLY.

MY PROBLEM IS THIS. IVE BOUGHT MY COPY OF GC2 FROM A STORE. ITS NOT A USED COPY OF THAT IM SURE AS IT WAS CLEAR PLASTIC WRAP. AT LEAST IM PRETTY SURE ITS NOT A USED COPY. IT WAS IN THE BUDGET SECTION OF 3 GAMES FOR 10 POUNDS OR ABOUT 20 USD.

ITS NOT COLLECTORS EDITION.

BUT THE SERIAL NUMBER SEEMS TO BE NO GOOD. WHEN I TRIED TO REGISTER IT ON THE WEBSITE. IT SAYS THIS... Serial Number Is Not Registered To This AccounT.

USING STARDOCK CENTRAL TO UPDATE SERIAL NUMBER IT SAYS IT IS INVALID. WTF IM REALLLLLLLLLLLY ANNOYED HERE. I REALLY ENJOY THIS GAME AND I REALLLLLLY WANT THE UPDATES. IM BROKE AND THERES NO WAY I WANNA FORK UP MORE MONEY TO GET A NOTHER COPY OR PAY FOR A NEW SERIAL NUMBER AS I ALREADI HAVE ONE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ANY1 HELP.

THE ONLY REASON IM POSTING THIS AGAIN IS I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY REPLY FROM STARDCOK WEBSITE.






ASIDE FROM THAT. DOES ANY1 HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM TO MINE. AFTER PLAYING FOR AN HOUR OR SO. IF I WANT TO LOAD A PREVIOUSLY SAVED GAME. IT TAKES AGES TO LOAD. AT LAST CHECKING IT TAKES ME ABOUT HALF AN HOUR/30 MINS OR SO TO LOAD MY GAME. WHATS THE PROBLEM HERE? IS IT A BUG OR SOMETHING.

THE GAME IN QUESTION I PLAY GIGANTIC MAP, ABUNDANT PLANETS 6 OPPONENTS, ETC ETC BASICALLY I MAX EVERYTHING OUT EXCEPT THE TECHNOLOGY THING.
I ALSO MAX OUT THE GRAPHICS THING.

I KNOW I KNOW YOULL TELL ME THAT THAT IS THE CAUSE OF MY PROBLEM. BUT WAIT. LET ME TELL U OF MY COMPUTER SPECS. ITS BRAND NEW OR AT LEAST ITS 3 MONTHS OLD.

SPECS: DUAL CORE E6600 2.4 GHZ
3GB RAM
8800GTX NVIDIA 768MB GRAPHICS CARD
500 GB RAM
DVD DRIVE,
WIN XP
ETC ETC U GET THE PICTURE.

SO WHY IS IT SO SLOW. I WOULD UNDERSTAND IT IF MY COMPUTER WAS A YEAR OR TWO OLD HECK IVE PLAYED THIS ON MY OLD LAPTOP WITH SAME SETTINGS EXCEPT FOR THE GRAPHICS BIT AND IT NEVER DID THIS.

I REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME.


AND IF ANY DEVELOPERS OR SALES PEOPLE SEE THE FIRST HELP REQUEST HELPPPPPPPPPPPP ME PLEASE.

Well to answer the loading issue, i do know that it was vastly improved in a later patch, so once you get your serial issue fixed and get the latest patch (1.5) you should be right in that regard.

As to the issue with your serial, the flood of answers that follow mine will no doubt tell you that emailing Stardock is still going to be your best avenue of resolving this.

Sorry to tell you what you already knew, but that is going to be your best bet, try these emails.

I hope these issue's get resolved quickly for you and you are able to get into this game in it's entirety, also turning off your caps lock when posting might be a good idea.

Good Luck!

In which country have you bought it? If if is in europe, you should try to contact Paradox http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=304 since a similar problem have arisen in the summer with the french version of GC2: it seems that some retail copies were shipped with an already used serial Id.
