How to Download The Game?

February 4, 2008 2:14:14 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Ok, this is the first time i have purchased a stardock product. as such, i have only just downloaded SDC. ok, looks good. now, how do i get the download? do i click 'games' and it will be there? I have pre-ordered the game through the stardock website, so will that link through to my SDC? Ive got the email that says 'thankyou for buying, your purchase is being processed. Im guessing the prossess is for the cd that is getting sent to me. what about the download? will SDC 'know' that i have already pre-ordered the game?

I had the same question.
Stardock will mass email people the cd keys once they get the sign to go ahead.

You can mod the game by simply editing .galaxy files in notpad and just change a few numbers.
The game engine itself isnt limited, so you could have 100 stars with 1000 planets if you wanted, but i doubt you would want to spend the rest of your life in a single game-session while getting square eyes

Once the download is posted in SDC, we'll process all the queued preorders and send out emails with the serials.
