collecters edition stuff

Naw, you don't have to buy another game. It's in the latest patch. Update your game with stardock and the start a new game. The parts will be under the generic tab in the extras list in the ship yard. Hope this helps.

is there an update game button in main menu when i got game running?

I thought this was only true for the galciv II bonus pack (that you can activate it by downloading and installing the latest update)

Isn't true that the collectors edition can only be activated by downloading and activating the content via this website https://www.galciv2.com/CollectorsEdition ?

It would be nice to get the answer from anyone from Stardock, Kyro?

is there anywhare i can download it other than stardock? or not?

Not true

By updating to the latest version you get the collectors parts.

I don't know for sure, I don't think so. Why can't you download it?

how do i update it using stardock then?

By first installing the download manager, Stardock Central.

https://www.galciv2.com/Downloads.aspx

You can download it through this link.

i downloaded that one

1) Get Stardock Central (our download manager, used to get patches or even the entire game should you not have your discs handy to install from).

2) Install it and log in with the same account you made for the forum.

3) Go to the Tools menu in SDC, and choose Register Products.

4) Pick Games on the left in the Register Products window, then find GalCiv2 in the Product pull-down menu. Enter your email address (same as forum account, again) and serial number, then click Register. If you have GC2 Gold, repeat for Dark Avatar (use the same serial).

5) Back at the main screen of SDC, pick Games on the left. You should see GalCiv2 under a Purchased Products heading on the right side. Select it and click the Update button that appears.

6) Click the + next to GalCiv2 and update Dark Avatar as well if you have it.

That should do the trick. If you encounter an error message while trying to register the serial in (4), please contact [email protected].

BTW, besides all that, NEVER get this game from EBAY, or any other used-game place. well unless the seller has said that the game was never registered and you believe him.

You won't be able to update the game from anywhere if the serial number is alreay taken by the previous owner.

is there anything i can do to get a replacement serial code if this is the case?

If you have a preowned copy of the game and want to get the updates, you can contact [email protected] about getting a serial of your own at reduced cost.
