New patch(1.0D1.008) removes...

from GalCiv2 Forums
Didn't want to update with the standalone patch so I waited for the patch to be on Stardock Central. Once I updated, I found I didn't have any sounds, videos or tutorials any longer and checking the directories in the Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\Galciv2\music (etc) shows them to be empty when all the multimedia use to be there. Going back to my archived .006 fixed the problem. Deleted everything and redid everything and it happens everytime.

Just a heads up since this is a big problem.

It might be insane, but it is what is happening. Also, it always happens right after startdock central while updating gets to the "Removing temporary files..."

Once again, uninstalled application, deleted Stardock and everything in it, restored from .006 archive of main game, multimedia, tutorials and then updated via stardock central to .008.

The only difference is that I skipped the standalone patch(.007) this time. Going by the gc2.log though, its hard to say why it was doing but it did delete a bunch of xml files and all multimedia and tutorials. *shrugs* At least it seems to be working now.

Just a FYI for anyone that might run into this as well, something somewhere got broken.
