[quote who="CobraA1" reply="2" id="3036445"]Umm, how else would you install the game?[/quote] Clarification.... I was first introduced to Steam when I bought Supreme Commander 2 on CDROM from a Target store. After installing the game from the CDROM I was forced to create a Steam account and register the game with Steam before I could play. If I didn't do this I was unable to play the game even in single player mode. Each time I run t

The general consensus seems to be that everyone is excited Stardock games will now be available on Steam. I'm trying to understand why people are so excited about this. I have used Steam for some games and personally don't like it. It seems way to intrusive on my computer and I don't like the idea that it keeps track of how many hours I have played each game, friends list pop-ups,Internet connection requirements, etc. I also don't l

I purchased Galactic Civilization 2: Ultimate at a GameStop brick and mortar store this weekend for $9.99. Not many stores have them in stock any longer. I had to call 10 stores before I could find it. Check them out to see if any stores near you have any left. I was also thinking that Target MIGHT have a copy on the clearance rack but that may be a long shot. I've not seen this game at Target for a long time. Good Luck.

I purchased GC2 Ultimate CD Version. How can I register it with Stardock so it shows up in my list of purchased games so I can update it through Stardock (not through Impulse GameStop)?

Found it. To change your email address you need to go to the "Logon Info" tab. That is not real obvious as it shows you your email address and all other personal information on the "Vital Stats" screen. kryo- thanks for your quick support even early on a Sunday morning!!!! Stardock has great Customer Support!!!

kryo. Thanks for the quick response! I decided to register these games to my old Stardock account instead of making a new Stardock account. The only issue now is that the Account Manager screen wont let me update my email address as I no longer regularly use the email address I used to create the account in 2008. I'm trying to update my email address as instructed in the support page here but it is not working. Can you provide some help with

I uninstalled Impulse and installed the latest version from GameStop. Now Impulse seems to work OK. I was able to download the latest updates for Sins and GalCiv2. More issues though. When I run "Sins of a Solar Empire" a screen pops up saying "Stardock Account Registraton". I enter in my account name and password that I use on GameStop Impulse and it does not like that. Do I no need to register an account with Stardock just to play the game now?

Stardock, I first installed the box version of Sins of Solar Empire Trinity which also installed Impulse. The first time I ran Impulse it updated to the new Game Stop Impulse version and it worked great. I then installed GalCiv II Ultimate box version and it seems to have corrupted Impulse. When I run Impulse now it just crashed and Win7 asks if I want to check online for a solution with does not help with the situation. Now I'm not sure what

I have "Sins of a Solar Empire Trinity" and my friend has the first original "Sins of a Solar Empire" game from 2008. Are these two versions compatible to play against each other via LAN or Internet - assuming that we play the first "Sins of a Solar Empire" game and they are fully patched to latest level? The reason I ask is because the booklet that came with Trinity makes mention that many changes to the original game have been made so I was just wondering about compatibility.<
