For PAT. Strange Upgrade problems - solved. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I've downloaded Beta3 and Beta3A, but my startup screen said is still Beta2... I think I've tracked the problem in having files marked as read-only on the drive. I've cleared the attribute and reinstalled Beta3A. Now files are updated. My guess is that the installation routine doesn't check the read only attribute, tries to write over but fails. DM says that all is installed... but isn't. Check it and let me know.

Brad, let me know on monday. I suppose the License server went down... Can you ping it?

Ok looks like the problem was the loader.exe. Started directly Drengin.exe and it connected. Anyway I suppose someone should look at it. BTW, I do not see GC updated... :sniff!: I'll uninstall and retry. Uninstalled but... cannot install because of my account expired (01-01-1900) and... no server is available to register again!!!! :VOMIT: Now, Beta2 is uninstalled and I cannot get Beta3. :VOMIT: :notsure: >:( :( (:(

I cannot connect... Is the server down? It has asked for the registration code, I've provided but can't connect. Simply no answer from the server.... :( Will try again. Anyone can check if all servers are active and working? It's 3 AM SD Time so I suppose there is not a bit number of hits on the server... or it crashed before :notsure:

General comments on Beta 2 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Ok, I've managed to play a little with Beta 2. My general toughts. 1) this way the game is prone to a constant war. No way to win in other ways. No peace. I suppose they'll get back later. 2) anomalies for research: please add back some 100% of current. 3) anomalies: good mix and unpredictability now. 4) starbase: cost like a battleship but is meaningfull only if not at war 5) have to go now... 5) in current game AI cannot invade any of my planets because of

Beta 2 - won. Considerations in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I won my first Beta 2 yesterday at tough,gigantic,all-smart. Put all my points into speed and started with 10 moves for colonies :) I harvested "science mistery hot-spot" beeing so speedy and then exchanged top techs for planets, colonies, ... I was able to buy all players but the last one that even at war gave me 3 of 4 planets for a lot of techs. Last planet was conquered by the only transport I had to build. I was lucky to start alone in my side of the galaxy. Beein

Reply to Beta 2 status report in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

In the first game I won at Challanging level + all AI Smart, I used 2 points for speed and 2 for research (if I remember...). I had colonies moving fast, I used research leaps to further develop speed and at midgame I was cruising through the galaxy at 8+ speed with colony ships! :) Given the Huge galaxy and an unbalanced race distribution, I was able to secure good planets while shooting down all other races colony ships. I was at war with all of them, but with few BC I found wit

Reply to A question from a beta non-participant in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I suppose that even now if you get Drengin.net subscription, you'll have access to GC beta right away. I could answer the expansion problem by referring to the chess game too. (Usually) both players try to get the control of the center of the board. Let's say that the expansion phase can be a similar thing. In both cases beeing successfull helps in winning. In both cases is not granted and part of the beta is not to have ONE victory path but counterbalancing strategies like the old ston

:notsure: Not me for sure. Try to reload what I sent you and attack the transport on the 2nd topmost/leftmost planet on the map. If it's not on that situation then it's the wrong game.

Reply to Why I do not submit my score to the Metaverse in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

For me, I usually have no time to finish a game before the next build or before a permanent game crash (this was more in previous versions). So it happens I play 3-4 games before the next build but none gets to the end.
