There have been some issues with the XML files controlling the installation. Check back in an hour or so, the problems should hopefully be fixed by then. :)

[quote]Basically if Stardock combined Galciv 2 and SINS = the perfectly created game. [/quote] You're right - we need to do Sins of a Galactic Civilization. With multiplayer. :-)

It might be easier for you , but not for us. The easier it is for us, the more updates we can put out (as GalCiv II has shown). Most people updating the software do have an Internet connection to their PC, so we designed the system for them. I should point out that while a modem would be inadvisable for a full install, it would probably do for an update - they are not that large. This is part of the point of using Stardock Central; it only needs to transfer files which are not alr

For right now, you can save the bonus pack to disk and then copy it over. In the general case, we are not going to be providing separate install executable for updates. You need to install Stardock Central (and probably the game itself) on a computer that does have access, download the update, archive the game, and copy the archive to the computer without access, then restore it on the target computer with Stardock Central. If it's the first time you've done this, you'll also n

I think you mean the E6600 (which I have myself). The Q6600 is a quad-core. To be fair, I must applaud Intel at having reached that price point (no doubt trying to put the boot in to AMD), but you're still paying more for something you're unlikely to use fully a

. . . except he doesn't have any money, 'cause he spent it on the quad-core CPU. In two years the price halved, so the person who bought a dual-core can now buy a newer (and probably faster) quad-core. It'll probably use less power, too. Quad-core CPUs can only really be recommended for those who can demonstrate a need for them right now. Most games are memory- and GPU-bound, and of those that are CPU-bound, most do not have an architecture that can take advantage of quad-cores.

I would like to join my fellows Frogboy (Stardock's CEO) and kryo (Stardock forum overseer and official dogsbody) in expressing our distress for your troubles. Let me be the first - or third - to say that such conduct from our lowly support staff is unacceptable, especially when it comes just days after a major release. You will be glad to hear that I intend to personally remedy this situation upon my arrival at Stardock HQ - which, as a developer, will be shortly before lunch.<b

First thing I thought: "Our ships will blot out the sun!"

Well, you're almost right. I work for Stardock, not Ironclad. I suspect the developers have played it so much they're sick of it by now. It's hard to enjoy a game when you have to work on it day in, day out. :-)

It comes with limited versions of our skinning/theming software which allow the use of that particular theme.
