there's also two levels of founder there-regular and "lifetime" (lifetime=gal civ III elite founder). There is also an ACTIVE NDA. You are more likely to get into testing if look for a certain thread AFTER becoming a founder. Probably a higher likelihood if you are active on forums and have modding experience. Other than that, my lips are sealed.

I said it should be today. HOWEVER, I heard it Saturday which is april fools day hence why my post said to take it with a grain of salt. Anyway, there's still 9 hrs 2 min left in the day for the US East Coast so it could still occur.

got some news today. TAKE WITH grain of salt (or not) because of today's date (I can provide quote though). I'd expect the password for access to the expansion Tuesday

It is still the 30th on the East Coast of the US (so to be real technical, 12:59:59 AM on the 1st)

pro in our direction: brad is currently using the FOUNDER'S build of Crusade in the crusade twitch stream. con: he has multiple CTD's during the stream so far (like 3 and it's been 12 minutes).

actually, it was said this month. There are 6 days left before that changes. So I would expect a password for access before next Friday.

while I would prefer GOG, unless Stardock UNLOCKS workshop for their games (aka enter a url and download to a mods folder for GOG, something you cannot do at this point), GOG is second class as workshop content currently for gal civ III is STEAM ONLY. I would bet the same for OTC. To Stardock: look at gog mix: "games with mods locked on Steam". OTC and gal civ III are also listed in the GOG mix "games that treat GOG as second-class customers" as well. It does little good to

rebooted Steam just now. My DLC list doesn't say mercenaries but the update DOES want to download 500 MB. Elite founder check. Nothing in game saying those races selectable either

I'm going to go with 2/6 @midnite EST

I'm totally guessing here but I'd say that based on PREVIOUS activity (re: updates) that tomorrow is when elite founder's get the beta. I might be wrong, but if memory serves, most Stardock patches have been on Thursdays

I'm also in the camp of wanting my elite founder key redeemable on GOG.com. The problem Stardock has is with people trying to resell the key to GMG or cdkeys.com among others. If push comes to shove, I will do the following: buy the base on GOG.com, copy everything else over (thus hopefully including the DLC now and in the future), and see what happens. I'm in the boat of wanting to play SOASE and it's expansion via GOG galaxy (hopes for non-expert human people a

I'm interested in the WL2 key for GOG. Thanks for the opportunity. You might want to check your DLC on steam as people are reporting not having all 5 and a comment said to contact support

got my own info to put in. Not a crash per se but a game freeze. OS: Windows 7 pro. GPU: Geforce GT 550Ti. Turns 100+. Civs 3 (total). Size: large. VRAM: 1 GB The problem is a freeze where it is processing the AI turns. I tried debug and rolling back but it froze. I forget colony count but map was NOT fully colonized-that I am 100% certain of

[quote who="Bl4ckSh33p" reply="11" id="3480951"] Ok, thanks. But it would be nice if Steam would allow two players to play one game in the same LAN (with family sharing). Right now it tells you that someone is already logged in/playing and kicks the other one. [e digicons]:)[/e] [/quote] it would be nice but I doubt that'll happen at all. That makes the system ripe for abuse

after updating the game in Steam, there is a loop of trying to launch the game. I did a re-install and verification. The game doesn't even boot for a crash log. This is after the latest update. Fixed with a Steam restart

[quote who="Seilore" reply="4" id="3453997"] Sorry Wiz, lost the game... Joined Darca... game just crashed... will reenter for anyone else to play...[/quote] make a suppourt ticket. Game did a CTD on my end as well seliore

I'd like to ask for it too however in the form of a trainer more like. You press the ~ icon and the console pops up. A command like show_fps could function to show the fps in a situation. Another command could be spawn_shipname or research_techname (insert ship names or techs) to spawn the ship for testing. Another option would be to have a hotkey for all research completed. Spawning planets and stars COULD also be done this way but the alpha testers would ne

I do have family sharing with ultimate install for the OP to try. The only concern I have is what may happen if the OP tried to activate it. As for playing the first, it's not worth it because II improves on it in so many ways. The ultimate edition is what I got and that comes with all expansions right outta the box and is half off right now on Steam. Another way to look at buying the game is IF you got FE and LH for FREE, look at the $100 edition as simply buying

now this may seem like a stupid question but I am sure there is at least one other person here in it. I am in the steam family sharing beta and am wondering IF the alpha shows up for other people that I authorized, should I ask them to test the game as well or will the game be flagged so it will not be shared. I cannot wait to play it myself

regarding system requirements yes I agree on the CPU minimum. RAM I don't. 4 GB is maximum of what a 32-bit OS can manage. Since this is a x64 enviroment, I would say minimum is going to be probably 6 GB. GPU I'd agree with the vRAM and card. Stardock does have another thing to consider when developing. They need to setup a RAM limiter option so the game doesn't FULLY use all the RAM inside a system and cause it to freeze. This is a point

I once bought a game without looking at the min req's to see if it would run because it looked fun. That game required DX11. My PC supports up to DX10. This is something that would make or brake me pre-ordering the game. If it doesn't have DX10 suppourt, I won't be pre-ordering. I pray it does have DX10 support along with a limit for the amount of RAM it can use on a system
