Patch and German Version does not work

from GalCiv2 Forums
Works the patch 1.0xx also with the German version or give it a german patch ? If I patch the German version , the Game starts no more.

How did you get your patch?

BTW, all patchs available from Stardock are in english. So if the patch works, you may end with a mixed english/german version.

Hello , the 'me too' messages are fine.


So they see that it's not just a single user with some strange comp settings.

Seems alot of people have this problem.

Bought the game 2 hours ago. Installed it - worked with ver. 1.0 - patched it - doesn't start anymore - installed again - same thing - installed ag.........

Now 2 hours later i'm really pissed and want to thank you for the great support.

A little hint on your homepage that your patch does not work with the german version would have saved two hours of my lifetime

Paradox is responsible for the localization of the game, so they may have to localize the patches as well
I suppose that their forums might be a good place to start complaining, asking etc.

Well, report from german version have just started today and Stardock is located in the USA. And there is at least 6 hours difference between their time zone and yours.

When everybody sleep, how do you expect they can help you?

On time zone, just look at the time displayed on your post. You will know the current time at Stardock.

Here's my "me, too". I actually don't want to always have to wait for localised patches -- especially since I expect Stardock's support to outlast Paradox's support. A simple way to avoid any such issues would have been to make the game multilingual (at least beneath the surface) and put all the text in language files.

Well, it is supposed to work that way. But there is a catch: update through SDC is based on file date to check the files that need to be updated. But german files will surely more recent that what you should expectd from the v1.0 US version.
