[quote who="Mystikmind" reply="16" id="3657407"] Ahhh ok, .... but did the integrated graphics affect the motherboard price? [/quote] Intel IGPUs have been on the CPU itself for several years now, so pretty much all Intel boards have video outputs.

Reply to Where's the source of the performance issues on my machine? in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

[quote]Would my GPU be bottlenecking the system?[/quote] Probably. If you are running with integrated graphics you may be limited to smaller maps or lower settings. You may try a GPU monitoring program to see how heavily it is being utilized, though I'm not sure if any of those support intel integrated graphics.

Reply to Email mismatch between STORE PURCHASED Sins and NOW STEAM in Sins of a Solar Empire GalCiv3 Forums

Keys for non-Steam purchases are not transferable to Steam. But if you registered the original game and bought the first two expansions from us, then you can just download them directly in your browser from https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products/ . No need to transfer anything anywhere. If you want to buy Rebellion and its DLC, there's no need to have that on the same platform as it doesn't require the original

It could be your anti-virus app attempting to scan while the browser is finalizing the download and interfering with the process.

[quote who="eggsnbeans" reply="4" id="3650118"] Just take a look at how horses live in develop countries. They have the best possible life ever. They do not work, they are the focus of rich people who love them and care them to degrees most people would ever dream of. All of that is exactly the result that horses don't have to work anymore. Same thing with dogs, just a fraction of them work right now. [/quote] And how does the horse population compare between no

Reply to Question about a Stardock download for original game in Sins of a Solar Empire GalCiv3 Forums

The download is the whole latest version. We don't make standalone patches any more. The update button launched Impulse (our former digital download platform), which was later purchased by GameStop and discontinued, so that's why it does nothing now.

The fact that the CVV codes were potentially compromised suggests they were storing them, which is a blatant violation of PCI-DSS requirements.

"Upgrade" is in comparison to your intent to purchase only two products. You don't need to have Object Desktop already. If you log out and try it you'll see you still get the same $30 off coupon.

The download on the store page includes the entire latest version of the game. We don't provide incremental patches, just the full version. You should be able to download and install over top or in place of your existing copy to update.

I suspect that person doesn't even know what you're talking about. You need to be clear that you are talking about "GameStop PC Downloads App". They rebranded it shortly after they bought it and I doubt that person you spoke to was even around then. That Malaysian gaming store has existed with that name since well before GameStop purchased the digital distribution platform from us, and has nothing to do with GameStop's digital downloads.

Doing it by hand doesn't really scale. That said, they replaced all of your work with something you now have no familiarity with, which (if it goes as planned), will also require a lot less maintenance effort. To be perfectly blunt about it, I'd be getting a resume ready. Eliminating w
