Here's a question for anyone who can help:

Where do I look that will Definately tell me whether i can or Can't get the EU 2.0 patch yet (where will be the first place that says its finished basicaly)

The reason i ask is because all Ive been doing is running GC2:EU through Impulse (i dragged the shortcut) all the time and whenever theres been an update ive checked to see whether i can register it. This is of course a rather roundabout way because I am only using Impulse for GC2, which is pointles if i get no updates!

I got the same problem, sudden crashes, in the beginning of the game, thought there would be an update by now...loved the first game though, and this one looks very promising too...if only it didnt CRASH ALL THE TIME!

You can expect a thread in either the dev journals or GCII news section of the forum within say 5-15 minutes of EU being registerable and updateable on Impulse.

But I can't give you a timeframe on that, particularly as it seems SD doesn't even have a timeframe on it, which is unfortunate.

I think its kind of strange, that the Update bar on the game "GC2 Endless universe" - does not function, nothing happens, and as for the update, where is it! Ive been playing tons and tons of other games, but this here beats me. And as for the allmost immidiate crashes - IS THERE SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP!?

I know that this is an european version of an american ditto, but why does the game not function? It must be in the game, since i have updated my drivers and are able to play any other game, - without crashes. To whom and were should I adress my problem? So please, support if you are out there. Ths is a very polite signal from outer space.

Ok thanks for Your reply sol , didnt see it first   patience is the remedy then (:

If you don't want to wait for the patch you can always edit the registry to play EU with the english language files. That fixes any crashes related to minor races (which would be the main reason for ANY crashes as far as I know). I played two games (see metaverse character) with EU - one with 5 and one with maximum number of minor races without any crash. Before the language switch it was almost instant-crash. As for which key to edit: I think that's explained earlier in the thread. Hope that helps.

I think you refer to the Post of CariElf.

I tried it with regedit in the Windows Start Menue with "Ausführen" (Execute) and located the respective registry entry he described and changed the language from german to english.

The setup sreens still contain the german translations but the game itself now runs in english.

Haven't tried a game since but it seems to work.

We've made progress, though due to some other issues it's hard to say if it'll be up before the weekend. Sorry for the continued delay, guys.

No prblem Kryo, Im sure the devs are doing what they can for us (now boys, Work harder!)

But this time thing leads me to another question:

Will EU always be late at patches?

I can see that it will because of the multilanguage, Kalypso and the file structure

But i can see that it may not because these things may be so minor wen there is no EU specific problem (minor race crash out) the others may take nought but an hour or two more to develop, and therefore wont impact release date.

So what im basically asking is will I an English speaking only Brit have any regular extra time delay for getting updates?

And seriously id like to say what a Brilliant game this is, and if only i could find the time away from beating Puny Humans to make a new tech tree for my own custom race (aracacars) would this be a Truly awesome game!

AFAIK, once EU is set up on Impulse, there should be no delay.  The delay here has been caused by unexpected problems that have arisen, but once these are resolved, we should be getting our generous portions of update-y goodness with the rest of the masses

BTW, you can create custom tech trees for custom races?  How?

The 2.0 update is not available on my impulse.  How do I get it?

How about telling your paying and increasingly unhappy EU customers what the status is, what's preventing you from making 2.0 available for said customers, and when approximately we can expect 2.0 to become available for us? Is "before the end of the year" a realistic estimate?
Or is the problem so huge that you can't even estimate when it's going to be resolved?

I think we will get the 2.01 Version, which was yesterday coming on the Market. The 2.01 Version is the Bughunting and -destroying Version (2.00 has some failures).

So I think the EU Version will be the new translated 2.01 Version.

When?

Yes, when will it come finally?
