A suggestion for Stardock: Simple and elegant UI's are fantastic, but they should give the advanced user the ability to see more information when it is desired. There is plenty of screen real estate not being utilized. Right clicking and choosing something like "see details" would be good enough to me (though not the best way to implement such a feature). Said details might be a log of what has occurred and will happen next with percentages or even progress bars.

Hmm, perhaps the problem is simply a complete lack of feedback. I'll let it go a while (I did watch for file handles to see when it actually [I]read[/I] the archive before). A little more patience perhaps?

Thanks for the help. Yea, I figured that would happen. I can live with that, but my main issue is that I can't restore from archive. That means that I am going to have to redownload the entire thing to reinstall it.

Thanks for the response! As above notes, I checked to ensure there were no keys regarding the game left (there weren't). As said above, I set the install folder as I desired, but it adds additional folders underneath it. Any ideas?

Ok, I finally got GC2:DL installed after I let it download the whole thing again. Now I am wondering why it insists on installing to the \Stardock\TotalGaming\Stardock\Totalgaming\GC2 folder. One of the reasons I chose to reinstall the whole thing is because after impulse installed TA, it put a new GC2 folder at the above location, then twilight, while still using the data in the original folder \Stardock\TotalGaming\GC2. I have chosen to install games in

Restore From Archive in Impulse Beta GalCiv2 Forums

To resolve some issues with Impulse installing to the wrong folder (could be my fault), I uninstalled all GC2 items and chose to reinstall them. To keep from having to download them again and again, I right clicked and chose 'Download and Archive'. A few issues: The expansions will not download and archive until the previous one is installed. I should be able to download them regardless, yes? When choosing 'Restore Archive' from the menu top left and choosing the downlo

If a space miner is set to automate but nothing is left for it to do, and then you set it to auto explore, the ship will prevent the turn button from returning. After pressing tab and moving the ship, the button returns. Perhaps giving a different 'auto' command should cancel the 'automate' order?

Collector's Edition Content? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

When I first bought GC2, I bought the collector's edition from a retail store. Back then, there was special content for that version. If I reinstall the entire game and all expansions from impulse, will all that content be included, or do I have to install it seperatly? I can't recall, but it seems like the extras were included for everone at a later date. Please advise. Thanks!
