Well yes, but for exmple the version 1.0 crashed regularly so I needed a patch to fix this. What you drrider tell, is that I should be satisfied with crashing 1.0 and not even dare to demand a patch, but to be glad that Stardock has even decided to make one? Sorry, but that is a wrong opinion.
Well this has persuaded me not to buy the Dark Avatar datadisk nor any future game from Stardock unless this philosophy changes. It is really a pitty. I found the game activation annoying enough, but forcing me to install another program just for downloading one exe file is really unacceptable for me. And I am really disappointed that Stardock changed the rules after I had bought the game. There is nowhere written on the box or in the manual that I will not be able to download patches in the fut
Thank you for your answer. I am a bit disappointed by this decison. I have bought a game and I want to play it. I do not want to install any other programs. I do not have a special complaint, it is just a matter of principle that I am forced to use a software I do not want to use. But luckily for me I was able to find the patch on my old USB stick. I downloaded it a long time ago and the bought a bigger USB stick and put this one away.
Greetings, I have decided it was about time to upgrade my game from version 1.2. But I can not find any patch in the download section. Where can I get the latest patch (1.4 I think)? And please do not tell me to install SD Central. First my game PC is not connected to the internet and even if it was, I would not install such a software. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the info. I will try Sound Blaster Audigy SE.

Greetings, I am planning to turn off my on board sound card and put a PCI sound card in. Will I have to activate the game again? I hope not.
+ Added “Simple Explosions” option: Some people were experiencing “stuttering” during explosion on older machines. This option will display 1 explosion billboard per explosion instead of the usual 8 – 15 billboards. Good news, however I use an Athlon64 3200+, 1 GB RAM and GeForce 6600GT and I have the

I have European Paradox version and the serial code is on the second CD. But I suppose you have already looked there.
The response of LCD has nothing to do with the game playing or not. First I would check the frequency you have set for the game resolution as LCDs usually use 60Hz as it has no effect on them as on CRTs. Then try to set the game to the monitor's native resoluton. And as the seer recommends, check if the monitor driver is installed correctly.
Never happened to me. To be honest I usually even do not bother with espionage. I can see what ships they have and that is enough for equipping my fleet.
Me too. I am especially tired of meeting other races in a few turns. I would like to reduce the range of ships at the beginning of the game. I think anothe option ingame like Slow beginning would be great.
I also have a SATA II so maybe the graphics card is a bottleneck. But my turns are fast. But whenever any combat is about to begin (space or land) it takes a long time to load.
Hmm, Despayre may be right. My game usually stops when an explosion is about to be shown. I will try it. But someone should tell Stardock to try to remake the explosions.
Yes, I have a new Athlon 64 3200+, 1GB RAM and a 6600GT GeForce and I have the same problems as Jim48. I play only the biggest maps and the game really gets slow later. I have not touched the settings (only resolution and 4xAA) and I left it as the game set it. I really wonder what causes such a huge slowdowns. It is not graphiscs IMO. Maybe the memory gets full? 1GB should be enough right?
I have a new Athlon 64 3200+, 1 GB RAM, 6600GT and 200 GB SATA II HDD (1.6 GB swap file) and the combat stutters for me as well. I am playing 1.1 version. Maybe 1.2 will fix it, but it is really strange.
Yep, I just tried to download Warlock but with an error page showing up.
No, regional settings has nothing to do with games. I play on a Czech Windows with a Czech regional settings. Do you use Omega drivers for video card? Have you tried "official" ATI Catalyst? And maybe update the soundcard driver, but to be honest, I have never needed to upgrade soundcard drivers myself. Other than that your system seems O.K. to me. 1GB RAM is enough, ATI 700 is enough, Pentium Mobile 1.7 is enough....
I have played 2 games on 1.0 and three games on 1.1 and I have never seen a single pirate. I think it is a myth, or my game is bugged I WANT PIRATES!
Yes, I also can see never when building a new structure. If I add another one to the queue or click on social bonus on top of the creena dn then back, the time is correct. It is really annoying.
Hmm, I upgraded from 1.0 to 1.1 with no problem. Of course I missed new items in construction screen etc., but I was able to finish the game.
Thanks, I have overlooked it. Sorry.
Yes, I must agree that this should change. I also hate when enemy ships are freely roaming through my space and I can not do anything about it. I like the idea of paying fees. It sounds good. You need a fleet moved through my space? Of course, but pay for it. Or have the possibility to say Of course, we are glad to help our neighbours, which would increase the realtionship. Only allied ships should be allowed to move freely through my space. Which brings me to the alliance. Would it
Hello, I have a question. In all my games I can see other races ships roaming through my territory and I do not have any option to stop them. Would it be possible to bring in something as a "border"? In most space strategies, ships can not enter the realm of other civilizations without at least making them angry.
Yes, I have discovered it too. Mostly, the engine "flames" or vapor is not seen at all. It is a minor bug though.
Greetings, if I install this patch, will I have to activate the game again? I had some difficulties and finaly I used the email activation for version 1.1, but I do not want to do this again.
