what i'm asking is if there is a file on my computer where my serial key would be stored, perhaps a .ini file or something? any help would be appreciated. Well, if you have entered it during the installation, it should be in the registries key. Have you tried to look in : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock? <TABLE cellpadding=8 wi
Peace Phoenix
The only way to download the full game is to use Stardock Central.
I'd just perfer to avoid re-installing if I could, not particuarly liking the unstable natue of the 1.1 beta and was hoping to go back to 1.0 without reinstalling. Well, if you can install SDC on your gaming computer with an internet access, you may be able to update the game to the latest non-beta version
He's asking about how to import ship designs that he downloaded from the site here. I have no idea how to do that, so can't help him ... but perhaps someone else can provide the information? I guess he should try to save them where his own specific ships are. It is in the My Documents hierarchy
A good feature.. But I would add one more.. How making all other non-homeworld planets 0 and then having to scan them before it reveals what planet rating they really are. or atleast an option for this type of gameplay Well, if I remember correctly, during the beta, all planets did have a unique texture, ev
You need to use StardDock Central to download the whole game.
If you can't/don't want to give her account full admin rights, it might be worth a try just giving her account read/write access to the galciv2 install folder. I guess it may be linked with the debug.err file
.And you should read the download instrutions for the beta before shooting off your big mouth because it doesn't say anything about having to be connected to the internet. I cou
Driver Name: ati2dvag.dll Driver Version: 6.14.0010.6436 Driver Date: 5/16/2004 00:29:34 DirectX Acceleration Enabled: Yes Well, try to update your drivers. It can do wonder. And it is also in the Readme.txt
I haven't got a burner on the drive....can't burn the msg. Paid good money for a game I can no longer run. Do I pour more money into this, buying a CD Burner? Maybe a USB key. It should be cheaper. Or floppy disk if that is an available option BTW, this thread https://forums.
Could you post your debug.err file?
Is there a way to skip watching ship movement? I haven't found an option for it, and when I've got a huge radar ship network in place the turns can take a while. Are you following AI ships?
This is true but now that population growth rates are lower (the dev's post suggested around 3%) maintaining 100% morale when a planet is first colonized seems essential. This is because if a population starts at 0.5 billion then after 20 turns with 3% growth it will be 0.9 billion, with 6% growth it'll be 1.6 billion. That's a b
Splitting population gives you way more tax revenue, because tax grows with the square root of the population. Well, not sure if it will be still the case in the final 1.1 patch
Having it effect both your population AND your economy is just way too much for one stat to do IMO. Well, it was already that setting in GC1. You are just forgetting the catch: maintaining 100% morale, which means getting less income that what you would have with higher tax rates <img src="http://images.sta
I have the disc IN the machine It isn't important. You can play GC2 without having the disc in the drive. the patch 1.1, installed them and now I get an 'Activation' scree
For example, consider a world with 4 billion inhabitants and 5% population growth, after n turns it's population will be: 4 * (1.05^n) However, instead consider two worlds each with 2 billion inhabitants. Assuming both worlds have 5% population growth, EACH world's population at n turns is defined by:<
, but they changed and no where on the forums did anyone request that this be done. Are you sure? I remember some posts with people requesting a copy feature. Or that they were annoyed to find all functionnal parts to remove them, and that wasn't correctly working.
Well, maybe they are trying to park constructors for the case your starbase is destroyed.
what should happen is that the 1.0X version should appear in the right column, allowing to update it. Did you see this? No, it didn't appear. Bummer. </TAB
Also the direct download link on this website doesn't seem to go anywhere useful, it just shows a load of collector's edition content. Well, the first item in mislabelled: even if it appears as the bonus pack, it is the latest 1.0X patch <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Wink.gif" border=
I don't quite understand your suggestion mayito8888 - how can I download the previous version? Do you mean the "Show pre-release versions" checkbox? Yes, you need to untick this <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-
If you ever have to reinstall the game for whatever reason, can you update the game with the latest patch, or do you have to install ALL of the patches. Example: if I reinstalled Galciv2, would I have to install 1.0X and then 1.1 Beta or just 1.1 Beta? I always wondered that about patches. I guess the
I here that this can be blamed on stardocks minor modification of drivers in order to more fit its own games, (or that somehow stardock should infact take responsiblity) anywho, I have heard that unistalling the stardock central system, then reinstalling the game may fix this issue, (I think, I forgot but it is a post somewhere i
For those that can do it: try using SDC. It may handle itself the activation problem. ANd if that doesn't work, you should be able to update the game to version 1.0X (ie getting the latest non beta update).
