Reply to new Multimedia update v.1.00.6 does it download all 366 MB over AGAIN? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Well I fixed my problem of it showing these HUGE sizes for these updates that should be small. I uninstalled GalCiv and reinstalled it. I kept SDC installed though....seems it will show the small updates only if SDC is installed first. ~SDC~

Reply to Why would SDC download the whole 84 MB if I only will update from 1.01 to 1.02 ?? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I see the new update now, I'm going from 1.02.36 and the update is 1.02.39, I am getting the 84MB option for download is this supposed to be normal? ~SDC~

Like the subject says, if so is there anyway to shrink that down to multimedia updates? i.e. just updating what needs to be updated? ~SDC~

Seems the problem was my distributed.net client....somehow this had never happened before but now it does...If I close it out SDC run perfect if I leave it running I get these "delays/lockups" ~SDC~

SDCentral locking up or VERY SLOW in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I just started having this problem 2 days ago at first I thought maybe something was wrong with Stardock and their servers but my coming on here seems to disprove that. I have the RC6 version of the client and was able to download the 1.02 the other day. The problem is this SDCentral does not want to refresh or even log in. On the status bar it says "Status: verifying internet connection" I actually had it work a moment ago but it took upwards of 10 or more minutes to log in. I've tried it

How many colonist to put in a colony ship and other colony/population questions in Strategies Stardock Forums

Like the subject says when starting off, how many colonists do you put when launching a ship? Is the number different in the beginning of the game and as the game progresses do you put more or less people on the colony ships you create? Also how much of a population should you leave on Earth? i.e. In order to get the most out of morale, etc.? Also same question but as it relates to new planets what's an "optimal" population per planet? I guess that's also related to the whole how ma

Reply to Game won't run anymore DirectX 9.0a problem? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yes I know about the version that showed up first but no this was the Final 9.0a version that is up now when you check Microsoft....for some reason 9.0a works fine with 43.45, but with the 43.30 only 9.0 worked. 9.0a wouldn't let me play GalCiv was always minimized. ~SDC~

Hmm on a hunch b/c I upgraded a friend's PC aswell that has about the same exact setup I decided to install the new nVidia 43.45 drivers and reboot and it seemed to have solved the problem....my game ran again....hopefully it didn't have anything to do with me downloading in the background. ~SDC~

Game won't run anymore DirectX 9.0a problem? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi I just installed DirectX 9.0a the other day and a few security updates for XP and now GalCiv doesn't seem to want to run right. I have a nVidia Geforce2 DDR 43.30 drivers, XP SP1, 512 MB RAM PIII 733. I had already run the game before but after installing DirectX 9.0a and a few other XP updates the game seems to not want to work. The desktop goes black a few times but then goes back to my regular desktop. On the taskbar Galactic Civilizations shows up and taskmanager Galciv.exe shows up.
