1.4 update

October 22, 2006 12:59:52 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Hi everyone. I have a question concerning downloading updates from Stardock Central.
Even though I have a good internet connection (DSL), I have found that auto-downloading an update from SDC takes forever and in some cases never finishes the update. Last night I waited 4 hours plus for it to update, and even when it had eventually reached 100% it stayed that way for another hour, so I gave up after 5 hours and cancelled it all together. Am I doing something wrong?
All helpful replies welcome.

Thanks.

I use SDC for all my updates have yet to have a problem. The updates are pretty small only takes about a minute on DSL for me. Might try the direct method, but seeing how 1.4 isn't officially out yet it may not be available direct yet.

the updates themselves are pretty small, and I'm finished after a minute, but I've had problems with the auto-archiving, it would often take ages and would never finish, so I would suggest disabling the auto-archiving feature if you've got it on

Thanks DethAdder and DeadDodo for your help.

DeadDodo, I did what you said and that fixed the problem, thnx.It updated in less than 1 minute after I unchecked the archive box. I had no problems with updates before,I must have accidentally changed my settings and didn't notice what I had done ...doh!

BTW, archiving before downloading a beta patch is generally a good thing to do in case the beta patch screws your game
