can gold edition go past 1.5?

The best way is to use Stardock Central. It does a pretty good job of finding the right updates and getting them installed. Worked on my gold edition anyway. Be sure and download the gold edition extras if you aren't going to buy the expansions. I've been told they are in the new ones anyway, but not sure on that.

that's whats not working, stardock central. it says i have 1.5 and that is the latest availabe. is there a way to patch otherwise?

Be sure to select DA (under 'expansions'). For DL, 1.5 is indeed the newest version, only DA is patched to 1.8

i guess i assumed since i had gold it would do that itself. ill try that next time i get a chance

thanks

it still isnt working. i do it from the main menu each chapter and it doesnt show any updates at all

Do you in fact have DA and/or TA purchased and installed? If so, you must launch the appropriate chapter (or switch between them from the launcher program). For example, if you run GalCiv2 Gold Edition, it will only run DL stuf and as such be v1.5. If you run Dark Avatar, you will see it is a newer version (if the update is installed).

Please advise.

i only play on dark avatar. but when i switch chapters and hit play it still says 1.5

am i doing something wrong or missing something?

Does Stardock Central say the same thing for Dark Avatar (not the DL line)?

can you post a screenshot of SDcentral on your comp?

Note the expanded view shows DA listed separately with version number. The available column does not show a version number since it is fully updated.

Although, Gizmo, what should be highlighted in his is 'Dark Avatar (Expansion Pack) for emphasis.

ok i got it to work

i guess i was a fool for thinking the update game option was an automatic link. i didnt realize i had to go from news to my games and update with the dark avatar 1.8 link. its updated now though

its gonna be weird playing with the buffed morale improvements. itll make the early game almost too easy for me. i got in a rythm with morale and still making money(no exploits), now i wont need to worry or even think about it early. i guess it will be a different challenge. lol

thanks everybody for the help

Ohhh I see.

Ok, the Update Game option on the starter thingamabob just is a link to Stardock Central, yeah. You have to go to games.

SD Central can be configured (and is by default I believe) to automatically check for updates for installed software at startup.

CommanderGizmo,

that is the way SDCentral should look like. I almost cant stand waiting until i finally have a 1 in front of everything. ^^
