Reply to 1.99(rc) Bugs and Issues in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I have been playing on the Milky way map and the races are not getting the actual map/texture or whatever it’s called for their home world and I know that I got them before because I was playing a game on that map.

Reply to delete custom race in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

You guys don’t seem to get it, go to your “My Documetns” folder then “My Games” then the version of GC2 you race is on then delete the file for the custom or any save you made for the normal races to delete that and only that race. And if that is not easy what are you doing with a computer.

I have been playing the original campaign and run into a bug on Darkness Rising where the level will not end. The victory movie for that level plays but I go straight back into that level just for the movie to play again when I hit end. Edit: After restarting the and loading my save game the mission finishes but the next mission is Apocalypse (something like mission number 14) when it should be Siege (mission number 6?) Edit2: restarting the campaign and then cheating my way I

Reply to What would be viable copy protection? in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Being someone who is actually on the UK official Spore fourm can say the main problem before release was people did not want to “rent” the game with its 3 activations A lot of the problems after Spores release were a load of rubbish and people not bothering to actually find out what caused it and just made posts blameing "The reincarnation of the devil SecuROM&EA" An example is someone being too stupid to look at the system requirements on the back of the box and seein

Reply to The joys of being computer literate in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="wulfn1" reply="14" id="1872991"]The only down side I've found to being semi-computer literate, is the whole family assumes I am free technical support, and if the problem is above my head , they come down hard on me for not fixing their issues... like I knew all along what the problem was and just refused to fix it. It sometimes gets tedious.[/quote] Luckily I have not been asked to fix something broken yet I don’t think I have the skills to but I ha

Reply to Forbes: Spore’s Piracy Problem in Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="CobraA1" reply="17" id="1876359"] or "the DRM is causeing this random crash in the game" It could. Some game developers have experimented with intentionally causing the game to crash or cease to be functional somehow if it suspects it is a pirated copy. In addition, many forms of DRM are known to install themselves at low levels of the OS, and bugs at such a low level could cause instability. [/quote] Oh I am not completely saying it is not the p

[quote who="taltamir" reply="15" id="1876248"]But you were right on the money that piracy was unaffected in the least considering a cracked version was available BEFORE it was for sale in stores.[/quote] if i can point you to my other post "it was released in Europe before the US" Not all pirates work with US copies of games. And due to when the main games shop in the UK sends out its online pre orders it would have arived a few days early (unless the post is slow

Reply to ShackNews Interview with Brad Wardell (Part 1) in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

When you think of DRM what do you actually think of CD’s needing to be in the drive, CD-keys? Or do you think of some program that installs and limits what you can do on your computer? If they were to directly say “We have DRM in our games” how many people would start screaming that they won’t buy the game and how many will not care because Stardocks DRM will more or less not affect them? As for not finishing GC2 before release it was 2 years ago

[quote who="Vinraith" reply="12" id="1876096"] What do you mean" by now?" Spore's DRM was cracked before the game was even released in the U.S..[/quote] Well it was released in Europe before the US so there is no eason why the US release date should be the expected crack date.
