Acquiring a physical media, Disk, of the release version of the game.

from Elemental Forums

So, anyway, I purchased this game as Digital Download only.  Now, I would really love to get a a copy of the game on DvD, as it was released, so that I can choose what level of patching I want.  Am I going to have to repurchase or can Stardock or does Stardock supply physical copies for a reduced fee?

Thanks for your feedback.

If SD can't help you, your best bet at getting a reduced price is to talk to one of the people who got a "Free" extra copy due to mail errors or one of the very disgruntled people who want to return the game (likely to charge more, but since they only get 75% of the cost back less s&h)...  good luck.

there's a lot you can "Edit" through modding and changing the xml files, since you can't pick what parts of the patches you want and don't want, your more likely to get better results through self/player edits.  running off old patches sounds like more frustration then it would be worth, especially if you have to shell out $$ for it.  spending a few hours, let alone a few days only to encounter a major crash would really suck.

I have only had 2 crashes out of hours and hours of play .. I seem to be one of the lucky ones with the right setup.

If you want the LE box, the upgrade from digital option is still available. I don't believe we have any option to upgrade from download-only to a standard box, though.

We're planning to offer updated disc-only (probably just in a sleeve or something) versions of the game down the line once updates slow down a bit.
