Success Hurts

I had to leave my notebook on all night to download the multimedia update. It is over 300meg but so much for the broadband internet connection.

Everybody wants the update and I guess there is only so much capacity Stardock can give. I am happy in a way; I want the game I invested so much of my time in to be
a success. If I can get a 300meg file in 30 minutes it would mean knowbody is interested.

Everytime something is updated huge numbers of users both hate and love the update.

For example huge numbers of ADVANCED users are always telling us how easy it is to beat the AI on the hardest levels. Many users only can report on how much the AI cheats. Finally most people just can not win.

I suppose most people take the game for what it is,
It is just a game !!

Still Stardock has a huge job keeping everybody happy at once. I am really suprised they do not throw their hand in the air and walk away ?

Finally this Forum is useless.
The same topics are posted several times.
There are too many threads.

But what I care given maybe six hours even this thread would be on page 6. Never again to see the light of day.

Success Hurts.

The multimedia update was only around 1 Meg. If you had to download more, it's because SDC is confused. This usually happens when you install GalCiv and the bonus pack first, and then install SDC later. Uninstalling GalCiv and then reinstalling it fixes the problem (and then use SDC to get the bonus pack, etc).

ooh--good tip Spinor--I dled 1.02 tonight and it was 85 mb(big for the small amount of fixes and tweaks in it)and it took 20 min.Ill have to try what you said--that is after I finish my current game.

I managed to avoid the 85Mb download by installing Galciv AFTER I installed Stardock.
