Reply to Say a final goodbye to the Java plugin. in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

http://betanews.com/2016/01/30/lg-g3-snap-vulnerability-leaves-owners-at-risk-of-data-theft/ Of interest, since this just popped up in the news. This is really little more than a stored XSS attack, because LG isn't bright enough to remove or escape script embedded in contact cards. It's only novel in that it's stored client-side in (mistake #2...) an app using HTML pr

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="6" id="3617306"] Also related by virtue of being vulnerable to infective malware. [/quote] Javascript isn't 'vulnerable' to anything. There isn't a third-party plugin with sandboxing flaws as with Java or Flash. The interpreters are native parts of the browsers written by each vendor. And for quite a long while now it's been prohibited in all implementations from local file access, cross-domain DOM access, etc., so it isn't

Reply to So, Altmeta is gone? in Metaverse Stardock Forums

Yep, I took it down earlier this month while cleaning up my server, since everyone has moved on from GC2 meta to play with mods or to GC3. It had a good nine year run, but I didn't figure it merited an announcement since nobody was posting games any more anyway--sorry for the sudden disappearance.

Reply to Stardock Game Engine History in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="10" id="3609975"] I'm curios about Galactic and Nitrous. Kumquat, for example, was built on the Havok "engine". Is Galactic also havok? But Nitrous is from the ground up? [/quote] Havok is a middleware suite primarily for physics functionality (they have some other things but that's what they're known for). Many games/engines use it, but they aren't really built 'on' it. There is a lot more to an engine than that.

Reply to Wide Screen Support in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Yep, you did. I was referring to your comment that you waited a long time to post it. There's no harm in posting something even if it is already known, so don't hesitate if you have any other issues. You might be repeating what others have said, but you might also be the only one who noticed the problem.

Reply to ‘Bootkit’ Malware “Nemesis”: Your security software won’t detect. in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Couple points: - It doesn't work on disks using GPT. Which most newer systems should be using (it's required if you have UEFI and aren't running it in BIOS compatibility mode). - I'd be surprised if booting to the repair console (via windows install disc) and running /fixmbr (assuming it still exists in newer versions of windows) didn't take care of it, since it rewrites the MBR. - Booting from an optical disc will most definitely bypass it. <p

Reply to What is wrong with your payment gateway? in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

A $2 charge would be an auth hold and is completely normal. It is not a real charge, and should disappear within a few days (time varies by bank). If your card has limited funds available and could not support both the auth and the actual charge, that could cause it to fail. Other reasons for failure could be mismatched billing info.

Reply to Mislaid Product Key in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

It is automatically added there when the purchase is completed. Make sure you are using the correct account to log in. If you're still having trouble, contact support and they should be able to help. If your paypal account uses a different email address it may have registered under that, instead of the one you normally use here.

Reply to How do I regain access to my 'old' account used @ galciv2 forums? in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

They're not using the same email (that shouldn't be possible); your old account is using your ISP address. If you've switched ISPs since then, contact support and they should be able to help recover the account. The forums have used the same account system since 2001, the only thing that was separate was the store accounts. Accounts didn't change when the forum system was switched around the GC2 release.

Reply to Where are my downloads? in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

GameStop bough Impulse a few years ago; your non-Stardock games will be there and your login should be whatever it was here at the time GameStop took Impulse over. If you have any trouble with their app, please contact GameStop support.
