Excited by latest poll! Does this mean there will be a new expansion in Dec/Jan?! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

If so, I'm on board!! I have Drengin.net, but I'll buy it separately anyways if that'll help them put this thing in action :) Woohoo I'm really excited!! Hope it's not for nothing ;)

Anyone else started crashing more with the new full expansion? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Reply to Own Playlist: "What is cool music while playing GalCiv?" in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I play so many games, and 99% of them have annoying music that it's nice to have a game with good music. I've spent more time choosing new tracks of music for Simcity 4 and choreographing their entrance than actually playing the game... same with Space Empires IV.

Yes. same problem here.

Gosh darn it I'm getting so frustrated! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

2 reasons: 1. Ever since I upgraded to Drengin.net I have not been able to get Metaverse scores to submit right. 2. I just re-installed my entire stupid system (over the last 2 days) from scratch, and I now I can't get the BETA! Would someone from Stardock please help me?!

Personally I really like the in-game music.

Mine didn't go through...

Reply to Oh my goodness - they did an awesome job with the expansion! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

No, I paid just like everyone else - but people seem to easily forget what a great product Gal Civ is - and it's a rarity (now-a-days) to have a turn-based game so nicely done. I'll be doing everything I can to support Gal Civ, as I hope it will continue to evolve :) [Message Edited]

No Cari, not a sound issue with Gal Civ - Drivercleaner messed up directshow (and sound), so I decided to reinstall several programs after restoring. Galc Civ happened to be one I unsinstalled and reinstalled.

I just tested my theory and it didn't help. There's definately a problem with the latest beta.

Anyone else have problems installing to a non-default directory? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

First time I had the game the installer would not install to D:\Galactic Civilizations So I had to install to D:\Galactic Civilizations\Galactic Civilizations Now that I had to re-install, that path hangs the installer, and I'mnow using D:\Galactic Civilizations\Galactic Civilizations\Galactic Civilizations Anyone else have this situation?

Reply to I think I know what causes the slowdowns mid/late game in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

My first post may not have been too clear. Basically I had to re-install many programs because using drivercleaner messed up my sound. Gal civ happened to be one of the programs I had to re-install, and in bitter irony just last week I'd been stating I'd never had a slowdown ever in Galc Civ even in a Gigantic Uni with all AI. Now that I did a re-install of the game (and all updates from Stardock Central), I'm getting terribly long pauses mid-game in just a tiny Universe. [Messag

What's the support e-mail?

Reply to I think I know what causes the slowdowns mid/late game in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

And like I said above, I never had a slowdown ever, even in a the largest galaxy, late game.

Well, I used a program called drivercleaner to get rid of ATI and NVidia driver reference when I installed CAT 3.5 I had to reinstall many programs including Gal Civ. Well, this time I just did all the updates through stardock and for the first time ever I'm getting those really long waits (and this is in a tiny universe). What differed this time was not doing the manual install of the bonuspack. I'll try a re-install later and see if the long waits clear up.

So excited! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Just wanted to say how excited I am the expansion is showing up on Drengin.net this week. Yea I want it now!! :)
