Location of tutorial .biks?

\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Gfx\Tutorials

GFX Folder

\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Gfx\Tutorials

I'm probably missing something blindingly obvious, but... all I see when I open that folder are 4 images (PNG Image files, whatever those are). When I open them (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer was automatically used) all I see is a single picture. Do I need to use a particular program to see them? What's the problem here? Thanks in advance for any help.

You will need to D/L a Bink viewer. I don't have the link but you can google it up with no problem

When you open up Stardock to games, and see GalCiv2, look for a small [+] beside it. That will open up additional files (multimedia, tutorials, etc) for you to download.

Just double click on the tutorials file and it should open right up. They're all in there. There should be no need to use a viewer at that point.

This is wrong.

First, if all you are seeing the GFX\Tutorials folder are four PNG images, then you have not downloaded the tutorials. Follow the advice in starfuryzeta's post about getting the rest of the game content through Stardock Central (all that the game DLs by itself are the core game files - movies, tutorials, and multimedia need to be grabbed separately).

Second, .bik files are Bink video format. They can't be played through Windows Media Player or the default stuff that ships with Windows. You will need a specific player to be able to view them. http://www.radgametools.com/ is the standard place to get one, although there may be others that I don't know of.

That's not what I meant. He was talking about when he clicks on the images. He needs to actually go into the folder instead of clicking on the images. I misunderstood and thought he was the same guy who started the thread and so he already had the correct codec.
