When is the 1.3A standalone installer coming

September 11, 2006 5:51:07 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Hi im probably going to feel really foolish if it comes out later today but is it possible for you to let us know when the standalone installer for 1.3A will be available in the downloads section.
Thanks.

There should be a 1.31 soon. So they may or may not make a separate install for 1.3A.

Best bet until it does though, is download the 1.3 full install, then update via Stardock Central to 1.3A. Once 1.3 is on it's a very small and quick patch.

Moosetek13, good suggestion about waiting for 1.31 but that just brings up the question how long until that comes out? Maybe I should just bite the bullet and download Stardock Central but then what if the standalone is coming in a few days time, I might as well just wait.

TheProgram, get stuffed.

I prefer to download the file and update with that. There is less likelyhood of problems. It is well known that updating through Stardock Central is unreliable.

RabidMAT12, I don't think it will be very long. There are some issues the devs really want resolved, like that pesky farming bug/exploit. So it should be soon.

And the game is unplayable if you don't use the english version (CTD when attacking due to incorrect english.str)

I knew that was the problem with my mod (CTD when attacking due to incorrect english.str). Thanks for confirming.

I have purchased the game legitimately, I just don't want to install Stardock Central. I have nothing per se against Stardock Central, however I try to keep my system as clean as possible and avoid installing non-essential programs.

I have no clue as to what you're saying. What's STEAM? Never mind, I don't really care.

I was simply trying to point out that I feel that Stardock Central is a non-essential program that I don't wish to be forced to install. You may disagree, but that doesn't change my feelings.

Not to mention, many people have had trouble with the downloads from SDC in the form of corrupted files. It is always best to download the complete file and update from the hard drive.
