Just curious...do you use a proxy-server? Or a personal firewall? ~SDC~
Sure you should be able to install it at work with the SDC, choose archive and bring the archive to the home-computer. Very soon it will be possible to download it all in one file without needing to install anything at all. I dont no anything about the distribution tho.. ~SDC~

Ah, nice you got it. You can post it here I guess. Or post it to Frogboy at [email protected] ~SDC~
what if you click on the name on the lower right hand of the screen? :) ~SDC~

so you dont have a file called galciv.exe.cra on your harddrive? Sad, then it isnt much to do, I suppose (:( ~SDC~
Stardock Forums
(normally it's in the directory where smartexception is installed) ~SDC~
Stardock Forums
well, if you search the hard-drive for *.cra you should be able to find a text-file containing the info they want. The SE-app could be better at presenting it *hint to devs* :) ~SDC~

Sad to hear that it crashes. In the galciv-directory there should be a debug.err, that one may give a hint on what's happening. Also, Id recommend to install SmartException under the Free Stuff -tab. After installing that and rebooting, you should get a report if/when galciv crashes. That report as well as the debug.err helps the developers alot to find the error. Otherwise it may be very hird to find the bug you've found. ~SDC~
Personally I hate playing turnbased multiplayer games. I just dont have the patience to wait while the other players are doing their moves. So Im glad they put so much effort into the AI instead - to make a singleplayer game that rocks! :) ~SDC~
Ok, I'd recommend doing a regular install. You could always archive the installed game if you want. (just right-click on the game) Also...the dl&archive seems to have problems with resuming downloads. ~SDC~
Ah ok, sorry. I mostly read the "i unzip the .zip file and rename the .pd_ file to .pdf..."-part and didnt get why you wanted to do that. I'll read more next time :) ~SDC~
Why not letting SDC install from the archive? (rightclicking on the component and select archive -> restore) ~SDC~
On the other hand - if you pile up ships near an enemy, the AI will know it and take actions against it. Even if you arent at war :) ~SDC~

in the galciv-directory you should have a debug.err-file If you post it here Im sure someone can analyze it and figure out what went wrong.
The resolution is fixed at 1024*768. If it scales ugly on LCD/TFT I can only recommend turning off scaling on the monitor. Or use the unsupported windowed version of GalCiv, which plays in a 1024*768 window.
You should change to 16-bit colors. It's a fixed thing, doesnt work otherwise. ~SDC~
It will be available as stand-alone patch in a few days, I think.

The 3 files from the zip-archive some other files? Are your OS installed on the first partition on the harddrive?
Do you have subscribed to drengin.net or purchased GalCiv alone? Were you part of the beta-testing?
Have you installed SDC at home? You should be able to right click on GalCiv in SDC and choose Archive -> Restore.
Which verion of SDC are you using? ~SDC~
If you still are running ver: 0.92.x of SDC, you need to update SDC via the full install that can be found on the News-page in SDC. ~SDC~

I doubt SD would block you for that. However, if I would have designed it, I'd record the IP's for future references. ~SDC~
