Why are YOU not playing yet?

and also why I am not playing yet

February 21, 2006 1:53:16 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I thought I'd have time till 21.00 now it's 19.50, and the game is fully installed. however, I have a beef on the oven (1000kg!).
So I need to water that now and then, if I play galciv, i am surely distracted enough to forget it and burn the roast!

Why can't you play yet?

You have a metric ton of beef in your oven? How many people in your family? 2500?

(Mmmmm. Beeeeef. My wife makes me eat veggies all the time. Can I come to your house?)

I'm at work. I rarely find it problematic to be here, but today I'd much rather be at home, refusing salad and carrot-snax and playing GalCiv II.

Hanging out on forums reading 5 seperate threads asking "Why is there no sound?" (answer: download the multimedia module).

I work in an IT Department, so this reminds me of when we send out a company wide email saying, in bold, "Attention: Rebooting the printserver. You will not be able to print for 10 minutes." and then get bombarded with calls and emails from people saying "HELP! I CAN'T PRINT!"

so, to answer the original question...
I'm sitting at work.
Two hours to go...

Because there are no files left for me to download, even though I know I need MANY more. I would really like to know why these files are not there for me to download!

ARG WHY MUST WE WORK TO PAY BILLS?

I want to go home and rule the galaxy dangnabit, not sit in a little room getting paid while foaming at the mouth to get home and start the game! Oh well, 6 hours to go . . .

(and I preloaded everything I could preload, watched the tutorials several times, so I doubt I'll run into the sound problem Sir Frogboy)

Looks like they're all downloading it now. I'm just trying to get the executable and... it's... moving... really... really... slowly... (and no, I'm not on dial-up).

While I had an almost instantaneous download (sheerly by accident) at 1:00PM EST, I am taking it easy with the game. You might call it savoring it, like a fine wine. I don't want to burn myself out with a 20 hour marathon gaming session.

I have started a few games and then ended them. I tried a normal game as the Terrans. I also did a totally custom game. And then a Terran vs. Drengin canned game. Then I came here.

I was hoping that I'd read a few glowing reports from various people. I see that a few people are having download issues and sound problems related to not downloading some files. I sincerely feel for those folks. The game is incredible.

I'm a European (Belgian to be exact). That's why I'm not playing it yet: there still is no game to play with...

Err... I'm not playing it because according to Stardock central, the game files haven't been updated yet.... I'm assuming I'm the only one with this problem?

*Edit* Sigh.... The very second I hit the submit link, I got a pop up from Stardock informing me that the files are ready for download.

Freaking work...ug, I just want to play, so very very badly. Oh well. I'm helping others on the forum with tech problems in the meantime. Oh...and I'm occasionally doing work.

It's 1535 Central time and the servers are so tied up that the games folder on SDC is a perpetual flashlight.  And then doesn't indicate an update is available
