I haven't had much gaming time lately, and I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back in here to update you until now - but wanted to let you know that your directions worked like a charm! All 3 games in the UE are running beautifully! What would us gamers do without folks like yourself? I always wonder why many games don't run correctly even when new, and why it's necessary for patches (and sometimes, many patches) regardless of OS, regardless of whether your machine meets the ga

You are very kind, thank you.

Btw, again this is the ultimate edition (european), and it looks like the Impulse download has not been applied although it definitely downloaded and appeared to install. However, when I run Impulse now, I get a message that "impulse running as administrator" advising this is not a good thing, and to restart impulse as non-administrator. When trying this, it says impulse has quit working. But here is my debug.err report, which I honestly can't make heads or tails of.

The update downloads and runs from impulse, and I can get to main menu, which shows the 3 different chapters. I can run only dread lords. If I "switch chapters" to DA or TA and try to play the game, both chapters crash, screen flickers a couple of times, message is: "DA or TA has stopped working, let windows check online for a solution and close program" Have researched and researched on how to get DA and TA running, both across the net and in this forum specifically.&nbsp

Kryo, are you a stardock tech? If so, is there a patch for win 7 users in development (I sure hope)?

Reply to Windows 7 Compatibility in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Very same problems I am having - I have also tried all the above with no success. I have the ultimate edition (european), can play dread lords, but not DA or TA. I am also very frustrated and disappointed, and would like to know when/if a fix for win 7 users will be released, because nothing else seems to work.

I just saw a link that says if you bought your game in Europe "click here" (if you click on it, it comes up with an internal server error). Mine came from the UK - any ideas of how this might differ, i.e. is there a different patch for this one?

I have thoroughly researched the forum and still cannot install UE properly. Installed, registered, downloaded patch through Impulse. Removed program, RE-installed, ran Impulse again, still no luck. (Originally tried it without the patch, also no luck.) Dread Lords works, but not TOA or DA. If I'd known about all the problems, I wouldn't have purchased the game. Is there another patch/fix that actually works? If not, can win 7 users anticipate a patch rel
