SafeDisc is the devil. I've had friends who have run into the same problem with Farcry, another Ubisoft title as well as with some Atari titles. Hopefully you can talk the publisher into having the next update not require Safedisc. The main problem there is actually the emulation software

Reply to Anybody playing Star Wars Galaxies? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

a friend of mine who lives in US and playing it atm tolds me that the game is very buggy. Server crashes a lot. but than again, thats his opionion and he has been playing it since beta. He also mentioned that they released the game even though the developers know that there were still bugs needed to be fixed but they still put forward the released date and released the game.... Again, only one person opinion so im not too bothered, considering this game won't be released until christmas

-mD- rHyMe: right...let me get this straight...you don't know what CTD stand for?? "I have the retail version? does that make a diffrence at all in the update, CDT thing? (as you can see my computer knowledge (or lack there of) here might be the problem)." No, to your question, it doesn't matter if you have the retail or download. Try this, uninstall galciv completely...ie use the uninstall program and select custom, follow by select all...to delete all files.

Reply to Minimum specs? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

shouldn't be any problem. You don't really need the movie files to play or the music file. Heck, you could you use the mp3 player in galciv to play your musics instead....but i never got it to work though :p However, if you are playing on large map...say gigantic...than your specs. would not cut it... Beside, get a new system ;) its cheap these days...you can get a good systems for around $600...or build your own like me :)

Reply to New Poll - Gal Civs 2 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Will...with the success of GalCiv, i doubt it if the publishers will alow those who has access to drengin.net to have it for free ;) Anyway, lets not jump gun yet. Lets wait for the expansion pack and see what kind of improvement has been made ;) However, i am definitly please to hear that there may be a possible GalCiv 2, but i will reserve my judgement...don't want a repeat of MOO3 ;)

After playing several games...i have noticed the following: CTD twice since i updated...none during 1.04 apart from that gov. screen. Games slow down when playing for long hours...

Apart that, pretty rock stable :) oh yea, to solve those problem, i uninstall ga

Reply to To Frogboy about overall score calculation in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I don't know if this a good suggestion...but im gonna suggest it anyway... Why not split the scoring system according to the level of defficulty you play? Thus, you have separate ranking for different of level of players... I.E. you have a rank for Masochistic players only, separate rank for normal level etc etc... This way, it will solve a lot problems...
