The game can be bought in stores..so there must be a way to fool the server side. There must be a way to manually install patches, etc for people who play on a machine not connected to the internet.

You can only download patches with a valid serial number, just like with Gal Civ I. You don't need a valid serial number to install the patches. I think the lack of release is because there isn't much honour in releasing an unprotected game...

I don't think honour has anything to do with it. They're likely waiting for the retail version of the game, which is pretty elusive at the moment.

How important were the patches for the first game? Was the game playable without them?
If the first game was well coded and bug free even without patches maybe this one will be too -> no need for patching. Smile

Anyway, it's up on a torrent site now. Fake or not I don't know, but I'm leeching.

THe first one was coded well. Fine enough. But the think is I have seen the update list for this one. I didn't really read up on it, but it seemed pretty long and at least 2 or 3 were serious. Another 2 were useful for lower end systems.

Meh, but people seem to be having fun, bugs or no.


Oh and are you geting the one with SDC files? I am a bit iffy on that issue. Chances are someone paid for it and is redistributing it. I don't know if it will. And I wonder about the patching issuse as the 1.0D version needs are different patch. Oh well. I hope it has the bonus pack at least. The good thing about is that I can start playing before the game is actually done.

Woot! The guy sending out the digital download version thru Bittorrent is almost done.. Soon it will appear (within 24 hours) in the binary newsgroups and spread like aids in Africa ;P Look for it to be released by somebody later today.

Well, this was slightly anticlimactic...

One seeder with 13 KB/s upload speed has spent two days super-seeding.
Once all parts had been seeded the number of seeders literally went from one to several hundred in a matter of a few minutes.

There was much joy!


Until all several hundred of us realized that none of us could actually run the game. Laughing
