Can someone plz help me out? I've always want to know this....

from GalCiv2 Forums
I always download the patch the traditional way and I don't use Stardock Central. But the problem is that all the patch that Stardock has put on this site is cumulative, which contains contents for all the previous patch also. So my problem is: if I already have patch 1.0D, is it safe for me to download and install the new 1.0X patch (which obviously also contains the 1.0D patch)? Will they conflict each other? Please enlighten me a bit! Thanks.

Errr, the new patch should be safe. It would be quite unreasonable if the user had to unpatch or uninstall everytime a new patch came out. Definetly safe to download and install 1.0X. Your ship designs wil be wiped in 1.0X but anything you make in 1.0X will be usable in all future patches, at least that's what stardock says.

So it's OK to install the patch with no problem?

I thought saved games would not be compatible? Or was it saved ships?
No matter, I will D/L it anyway.

The 1.0X full standalone update will update everything to the latest version, regardless of what's installed. As noted above, you are going to lose your custom-designed ships from previous versions.

One update to bind them all...

Thanks a lot, Nakor! I've been waiting for a developer to confirm this so I won't be playing the game while thinking, "Hmm, have I done something wrong?". I am gonna install the patch right away! Ciao.

My Campaign saves would still be intact after patching though, right? Or at the very least I could restart my current Campaign mission if the save game isn't compatible?
