Reinstalling to different drive in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I recently reinstalled GC2(from disk), but to a different drive than before (I had it in C and now in F). However, when I try to install Dark Avatar, which I have only in downloadable version, Impulse installs it to the old drive (C). I had the same problem with GC1, for Altarian prophecy, but fortunately for that one I had the disk and installed it manually. How do I make Impulse install programs or updates where I want?

Altarian Prophecy in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

I have GC II, however, I have a computer on another site which isn't very powerful and has no internet. I figured I could play GC1 on that one so I dusted off the box and installed it, but when I went to install Altarian prophecy (also from disk) it asked for a serial which I can't find (it's "on the back of the jewel case"). And I'm very careful with these things. My AP disk was stored in my GC1 box. Now it has been a while but I'm quite certain tha

At that time I recall I purchased it as both d

MyColors and Windows Blinds in MyColors Stardock Forums

I just installed MyColors but it only has a handful of free themes (yeah I'm cheap! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ) so I was wondering if I should get Blinds too. First of all I would like to know a couple of things. Are the two programs compatible? And how are they different, seeing that both are about, well, desktop themes?

Reply to Game stopped working after last update in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've been able to start a campaign now, after rebooting a couple of times. And my custom race seems to have reappeared (?) However, the game is stuttery, even the music is scratchy, like if my system had problems handling the game (performance). Also, after leaving the game it takes about a minute for the mouse pointer to reappear on the desktop! I had none of these problems before. Debug Message: Version v2.0 Dark Avatar last updated on: Tue Nov 4 10:37:33 2008 Debug

Game stopped working after last update in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I applied the 2.0 update through Impulse to GC II and Dark Avatar. After that, first of all I noticed that my custom race has disappeared. I loved that custom race and I don't remember how I created it before. Worst, I can't start a game, I get a blue screen of death crash. Something about atiduag.dll and dumping the memory. This sucks.

Reply to Problems with scrolling / Probleme mit scrollen, Starting Position in Random Map / Startposition in Zufallskarte in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

1. I'm not sure why you have more problem with the right side than the left, but it is normal to have to zoom out to see other planets. Scrolling while being zoomed in takes too long. 2. I've noticed this too, all the factions are bunched up in a couple of systems and the other are free. Probably like "new world" regions to explore and conquer without neighbors (if you get there first).

So that's what people mean about steep learning curve! ;p They could explain these things better in the manual.

Reply to Some totally newb questions in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

This is not a bump, I still don't get the "join fleet" thing. Sometimes, new ships join fleets whether the create fleet button has the spinning arrow or not. Other times, when I DO want new ships to join the fleet, they don't; again, whether the create fleet button has the spinning arrow or not. Just to get this clear, in theory: -Spinning arrow=Ships will join. -No spinning arrow=Ships will not join. Is the function buggy, or might th

Scouts in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I have questions about scouts. They have a firepower (albeit small) but they never seem to fire back when attacked. They just stay there and "show the other cheek" to get pummeled. Is there a way to put them in "aggressive" stance? In case of need if a scout is around it could give a hand in a battle, no? Also, when they are scouting around, if you forget to babysit them and follow their every move they will just stand there at the edge of the gravity well and get killed, neither figh

Reply to FLAG/MOTHER SHIPS in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

While I don't oppose the idea of a superbattleship in the game, I think that the basic concept of a "mothership" being the core of a fleet of smaller vessels is what the designers had in mind with the capital ship. Of course, players go and bunch up their capitals... just as they would do with their motherships, if available.

I can't install the game in Technical Sins Forums

Just received my Sins DVD, when I try to install it gets to the point where you can choose easy or advanced install. Whichever of them I choose, when I hit next I get an error message, then a window that says The installation of Sins of a Solar Empire has failed. "Error grave durante la instalación". Please check your settings and try again. (The text in Spanish says "serious error during installation".) My system is Windows XP, 3 GB memory, 2 Ghz processor

Oh that's good. I don't find the game particularly difficult once you master the interface. I first thought that the statement had something to do with the tech tree :)

Thanks! BTW I found how to disable the colors, in options you can check off a box that says sky background color or something like that. But, the colors are there for a reason... when the sky is black, you can't see unselected ships, structures, asteroids, etc! So back to crimson skies it is... :SNIFF!: PS The smilie isn't crying its just the watering eyes form those pastel backgrounds! :LOL:

Some totally newb questions in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hi I'm new to SOASE (I'm still playing the demo although the game is on its way) and I have a couple of questions I hope you can help me with. First, I don't get the "automatically get into a fleet" function. It seems that when I have any fleet (s) organized, all ships I construct will automatically go into a fleet. Now supposedly, according to the tutorial produced ships will go into a fleet of the same gravity well, however I see my new ships actually jumping to other planets i
