Thanks, I will do that. :)

Well, yeah. I have a legit version of windows. Unless Acer have started shipping their Aspire's with pirated copies. ;) This is a storebought, brand computer. Came with the OS installed when I bought it.

Hello and thanks for the reply, Kryo. A weird thing happens when I try to run dxdiag.exe. I get the message "Error: Could not load DXDIAGN.DLL". I go to the system32 folder, and both dxdiag.exe and dxdiagn.dll are there right next to each other. And reinstalling directx doesn't seem to update these files. In fact, the last date they were modified according to the file info is 2009-09-25... Thoughts, ideas? :(

Seeing as the holidays have passed, maybe someone from Stardock is present to explain why Elemental doesn't think I have the right DirectX version installed? While Mass Effect 2, The Witcher, Alpha Protocol and Galactic Civilizations II is a small selection of my other games which works without a hitch. Where's the difference? That's all I want to know...

Thanks for the tip. I deleted the config file and tried running the game again, but that didn't fly either. I just got the same error message. I found the debug.err file in that directory too, and it says the following: DebugMessage: Version 1.10.052 last updated on: 12-24-2010 11:06 DebugMessage: Entering WinMain DebugMessage: ******* Starting Game Shell ******* DebugMessage: DirectX version: 9.0 DebugMessage: exiting.

Yeah, I updated them right after I got the error message from the game. Then I rebooted and tried starting it again, to no avail.

Thanks for the tip, but when I run this it only says that I already have the latest version of directx installed. I'm still unable to run the game and I get the same error message as before.

Hi, For some reason, Elemental claims that I don't have DirectX 9.0c or better installed? I know I have, and all my other games work fine like Civ V for example. Has anyone else run into this and has a solution? I'm pretty disappointed right now with something that looked like a really fun game. :(

Reply to Invisible ship bug status in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, for me it is the military starbases which are invisible. In -both- Dark Avatar and Twilight of the Arnor. I haven't checked Dread Lords. It is sad that they carry over bugs from Dark Avatar to the newest expansion... :( (Though I believe and hope that it will get fixed soon.)

[quote] We want people with 5 year old systems to be able to play the game easily (and I mean play it VERY easily) but at the same time allow players with the latest DirectX 10 cards to get an incredible visual experience too.[/quote] ...does that mean it will support Windows 2000 as well? ;D

[B]Awesome![/B] You're my hero, Rider! Thanks a bunch, this really helps. :D Now I'll just have to track this game down in the stores! :)

Reply to Runnable in Windows 2000? in Technical Sins Forums

[quote] ... Bottom line: the game works fine but you have to do the install yourself using a retail cd and updates are unlikely to work. [/quote] Well, if I won't be able to update the game, there isn't much reason to get it (there seems to be quite a few pesky bugs when you browse through the Technical forum). Bought Galactic Civilizations II and its expansion packs instead. :) Shame Stardock is allergic to money. (More OS' supp

Ah, thanks for those files, W2kW2k! (Nice nick. ;) ) Now we just need Stardock to help us get around the (utterly unnecessary) limitation in the installer.

Reply to Runnable in Windows 2000? in Technical Sins Forums

[quote] ... To make the game runnung on win2k I copied some modded files to the Sins main directory. I used files made for Crysis and Supreme Commander. I didn't test which were needed but I think you only need the modded input1_3.dll. I'll test that later and will post the result. [/quote] Sweet! Please post what files are needed when you've checked up on it, and if you can, where to download them! :) Great job, now we'll just have to figure out how to si

Reply to Runnable in Windows 2000? in Technical Sins Forums

What a shame that this won't run on Windows 2000. :( It won't even install? Is this the same artificial restriction that Age of Empires III had, which you could get around? (And after you got around it, Age of Empires III worked like a charm in win2000. Thanks for trying to force people to change OS, Microsoft.) Or if you got around it, will there be other technical difficulties. Like in Bioshock, where all you had to do was to put two files in the game directory to make the game work o
