Reply to Impulse gets integrated customer ratings in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Would it be possible to display a game's distribution of ratings, so that we can see if a 2.5 rated game has only 5's and 1's, or if it's mostly 3's and 2's? Sorta like Newegg? This wouldn't be on the main buy page (takes up too much room), but would be good information to have acess to. Also, if customer reviews start being used, a "was this helpful to you button" on the review and an ability to rank reviews by helpfulness would be nice (as Amazon). As a s

Double-posted. My bad.

Reply to 1$ is NOT equal to 1€ ! in Everything Else Elemental Forums

Viperfdl has the right of it. Like how a brick and mortar store follows the MRSP (manufacturer's reccomended sale price), the digital distributors are provided a "recommended" price by the publisher of the game. Traditionally, a brick & mortar could undersell the MRSP, but they would be cutting into their own margin. Walmart and other big box stores are a prime example of this -- they take a reduced margin in order to outsell their competition, making it back on volume, in the

Reply to Cannot install in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I've run into this problem a couple of times and, even though you've already bypassed it, I thought I'd throw in my two cents. My working theory right now, is that it's somehow related to how Impulse is plugged into the overarching "how windows does internet" structure. I almost never use IE, but when it doesn't work, this particular window in Impulse also doesn't work. I've seen a similar issue in steam, where the integrated browser doesn't work sometimes. I typical

Reply to Things you LIKE (Just so they dont get too depressed) in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Yeah, I figured that they really wanted to know mostly about CTDs, BSODs, memory leaks, stability stuff. Once the gameplay skeleton goes in then the real work on mechanic balancing and all that jazz can really start. As for what I like... well, I like the fact that Elemental installed and worked (except for that whole alt-tabbing thing) on my gaming rig, my laptop, and my mom's 5 year old computer!

Reply to [BUG] When in full screen mode the resolution on my second monitor gets changed in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I've actually seen this with all my full screen applications on dual screens, when the resolution of the game is not the same as the resolution of my desktop. Have you been able to get any other applications to do a full screen @ non-desktop resolution that doesn't do this? I haven't, and if you've figured out how, please tell me! As a suggestion, try setting elemental's resolution to be the same as your desktop resolution. When I do that, everything works fine.</p

Reply to Is Civ 4 worth picking up? in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I really enjoy Civ 4 and GalCiv 2. I use the present tense because I play both in fairly equal measure. Civ 4 is highly modd-able, and part of the slowdown that you see is a series of python checks for practically everything. There is now a speed-mod out that removes those checks and improves the turn processing considerably. Also, there is currently a very impressive mod out for Civ4 called Fall From Heaven, which makes use of the promotion system and other things to create

That solved it. Thanks very much.

DA Update Error in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hi. I was trying to update the beta of DA to the 1.6 update, and am running into trouble. I boot up the Stardock client, and am asked to auto-update. I affirm, and moments later I get this error: Error: attempt 3| Module Request Failed: the module you have requested is no longer available. (ref:201) Result: Installation Failed (9) Would you like to view the installation log? I also get this error while trying to update the heightmaps.
