Reply to No stand alone patches? Have to use impulse/stardock....am I missing something here? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[/quote]Even if it's not a huge amount for each patch, it adds up over time.[/quote] But isn't that what impulse is doing as well? It must have to do all the exact same functions a stand alone patch installer have to do. How exactly is impulse saving time? I would think once an installer was coded its engine could be used for any future stand alone patch that was made. It seemed you folks were doing that up until 1.4 so what changed after that? See where I'm goi

[quote who="kryo" reply="15" id="2560433"]Using Impulse to deploy incremental updates rather than having to create new standalone patches for each update allows us to provide more updates more frequently at a lower cost. It also allows users with limited bandwidth or download speed to get updates faster, since they don't need to get a cumulative update from 1.0 each time there's a new patch.[/quote] Hello Kyro, thanks for responding How can it cos

How to use custom race/ships from Gold edition in TOA? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, I just got Twilight of the Arnor today, I have custom races/ships from my previous Dark Avatar game. I installed ToA and it doesn't see any of my previous ship designs or custom races. So I then tried copying the ships and races from the " My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor\Dark Avatar " folder into the same locations in " My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor\Twilight of the Arnor " but the game still will not see any of the custo

[quote who="Hawawaa" reply="1" id="2557941"]If you have Gal Civ2 and Dark Avatar then you just want the lone expansion Twilight of Arnor! Cause your just rebuying Galciv2 and Dark Avatar with the Ultimate Edition(it also includes Arnor.) The Ultimate edition has no extras... [/quote] Great, thank you for your answer.

[quote who="Moosetek13" reply="11" id="2558547"] Why not just give us the patch now in stand alone?....like everyone else does. Not everyone does. It actually seems a little shady of them not release the patch in stand alone form, this anti pirating reason is really not believable since anyone can very easily bypass it.

[quote who="Mtrixis" reply="7" id="2558226"]If something major happened to Stardock, why would you think they'd do anything other than release the patches as standalone? In a world where Ubisoft's idea of copy protection is shackling you to online play, installing Impulse to patch your Stardock games is pretty benign (and actually less intrusive than Steam, my Impulse games don't even require me to launch Impulse to play them).

Who knows they may release them....or they may not. Why not just give us the patch now in stand alone?....like everyone else does. Also I am saying that installing Impulse is intrusive, I'm saying I don't like having to be at the mercy of stardock simply to get a patch. It actually seems a little shady of them not release the patch in stand alone form, this anti pirating reason is really not believable since anyone can very easily bypass it.

Should I get Twilight of the Arnor or Ultimate edition in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Hey everyone, had a question, I currently have galciv2 gold edition which gives me dread lords and dark avatar, so I'm wondering should I pay more to get Ultimate edition or just get Arnor expansion pack? Basically I'm wondering ultimate is basically just giving you galciv2 and all the expansions or does it give you more then that? Thanks in advance <

Yes but that isn't the point, It's a great feature to be able to download the game and I'm not knocking that, it's innovative and a really great option but the point is if stardocks folds or if you don't have access to the internet your sunk. Most other game companies out there give out stand alone patches, they offer these for free and open to everyone. locking down the patches doesn't prevent pirating, that's totally ludicrous and it's defies all good sense for stardock to go down this road

Reply to No stand alone patches? Have to use impulse/stardock....am I missing something here? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

hello and thank you for your reply and yes that's what it seems like I agree, but it's not practical and it's punishing the customers who bought the game. Lets face it, there is no 100% fool proof copy protection. This system will not prevent the pirates, they will simply get a working email and one registered game code and use it to take the patch, or worst get the patch and rig it so it can be distributed out with a hack full of viruses. This system only makes it frustraiting for the honest

Yea that's exactly the problem I'm talking about. If this is how stardock operates then I won't be purchasing anymore of their software. This is a backwards and suspicious way of doing things

Ok well I purchased Galciv2 gold edition a couple years ago and think it's a great game, I used stardock to apply the patches and found it also a really good thing and easy to apply the patches. Now here comes the BUT part, no stand alone patches? Yes I understand you can apply the patches from impulse or stardock and it's nice and easy to do it that way but when I learned that's the ONLY way you can update your game I was flabbergasted! That's ridiculous! I want to dow
