Checking one's version

from Stardock Forums

Err... silly question, but.. where can I chect the version number? I've downloaded the patch manually and installed it, and also used Stardock ... but I can't see anywhere in the game that might say "1.11" or somthing.

Thanks in advance. :)

Go to the menu where you can save the game or load a new game and look at the banner at the top. The newest version says 1.11. Or, if you load and hit alternate escape to go back to the desktop, the information bar (where you click to look back at the game window) at the bottom of your desktop will also tell you version 1.11. Hope this helps. :)

Thanks! I can't believe I didn't see it before.

I see people commenting on bugs in incrimental versions... do those come out regularly? Or are those seperate beta patches not released at large?

They are patches mostly. They have been coming out about once a month lately, sometime this month 1.12 will come out, then in either December or January there will be a new expansion, probably 1.2 which you will have to pay for if you haven't subscribed to Drengin.net

Hmmm . . . I thought patches were to fix bugs only but maybe my definition is too narrow. These "upgrades" or "expansions" not only fixed bugs but added new features, changed metaverse scoring, and made the AI act differently.

Most computer games I bought, you get a slightly buggy CD that you buy retail and then go to the website once for the "patch" to fix the bugs. Then you are on your own.

Gal Civ is regularly (about monthly as Geoffrey says) tweaking strategy issues, correcting bugs, and adding new features (more aggressive minor AI in the latest 1.11 for example). Stardock definitely takes the cake when it comes to upgrading the original purchase. Congrats to Stardock. :CONGRAT:
