GalCiv2 Forums
just wanted to say that Stardock (and Brad) really deserve the respect they gets! Go go go! 
| So the plan is for next Tuesday or so to start letting people download most (but not all) the game. That way, when the game goes live on February 21, people who bought the download option (or bought the CD from us) will be able to just download a 2 or 3 meg file and be up ready to play without having to download some mega sized files. Plus it clears the bandwidth. Things went pretty smoothly with GalCiv I and this time we're going to have even more bandwidth available. But I don't want to take chances and I'm sure that there will still be horror stories -- it's all in the percents: 1% of people having download problems with 10,000 first day downloads is still 100 people and 100 people posting on a forum will look like a legion. And there may be more than 10,000 people based on the upsurge we've seen. |
Yea, it will overwrite the beta.
Though if you really want to spoil yourself, you could save your galciv2.exe and your lib3d.dll from beta 5 and then download the stuff and then copy those back in. I have no idea what will happen but in theory you would be able to play beta 5 with updated graphics. I'm not recommending this mind you, I'm just saying..
My access to SDC is temporarily down. Yarlen looking into it for me, so no new updates for me now. Gonna have to wait for release now
