Hi, It was Chrome and I tried it last night several times, and before trying it with a different browser (as you suggested) I tried one more time just now. This time it worked. I don't know what the original problem was (I definitely had Internet access). Thank you for replying, I do appreciate it. Don Freeman

When I try to download my purchased copy of Backup Pro 14 I get the the following error message If I email the "support" by clicking on link in message, I get a rather curt form reply that states I can't get support for that product. I am not asking for support for the product, I am asking for support due to an error generated by the S

Did a bit more research and found that this is because Steam does not use the standard Windows title bar. But I played a bit with it and found out you can by switching to "Big Picture Mode" (which I am not all that fond of but oh well) then in Settings/Display/Interface make sure "Start Steam in Big Picture Mode" is checked, then check "Start Big Picture Mode Windowed". Close down Steam and then restart it. Now you have a window that can be grouped with Groupy.

Thanks. I guess I should have explained why this option is desirable. I put my roll-up/-down fences on the border of my screen hoping that, since I don't size my windows to cover the title bars, I could just expand them to run whatever program I wish that is contained within that fence. But more often then not, when the fence expands it is covered by a pre-existing window and I can not select the icon for the program that I wish to run.

Didn't GC2 have this? Maybe it was one of the DLC packages that added it. It did most of what you suggested so maybe it will be added later.

[quote who="dead1486" reply="41" id="3559160"] I was pretty disappointed when I spent a very long time picking a great greek star name only to find some of the ridiculousness that got approved. [/quote] So was I. Now it seems that because of them all of our names may be made optional to the player.

[quote who="TimothyDwyer" reply="4" id="3558733"] I have the same problem ... The arrows are directly over Earth there is no waypoint [/quote] The arrows are over a planet call Sol VI, which makes me think it is a bug as all the others in the Sol system have the actual planet names. But as it is the campaign is not finish-able.

An hour ago I tried running GC3 and was delayed by Steam's insistence that I update the client. Fool that I am, I acquiesced. So now, no matter what saved game I load, I get one turn then when the game tells me to wait. So I do. Hey, I got nuttin' else better to do so I wait. And wait. Wait some more while I grab a cookie, take a whiz, shoot some pool... all of the above. But no matter how long I wait I get to go no further in the game.

Re: When influence convinces a planet's population to revolt and go with my race. Star-bases aren't so bad as I just buy them from the original race, unless the race has been defeated then I have to destroy them so I can put my own star-bases in their sphere of influence. The one time I did that and there where ships defending they turned pirate and were a thorn in my side for quite a few turns. Kinda neat actually, but there should be an alternati

"When Beta is over and the game is declared pretty much ready, I will complain if the sb aren't beefed up a little bit." I don't think of it as complaining about balance, so much as pointing out places where balance can be improved. Isn't that the point of beta testing? Pointing out inconsistencies before going to production?

Still would like to know if we will be able to assign Star systems to our custom race. Thanks.
