how to update GC2 + expansions retail

without downloading the full games

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hello,

I left the GC2 community around the time impulse was launched.
So I was still using the previous Stardock utility to download patches, and now I'm a bit lost

I have registered all my games with stardock, never used impulse nor gamestop
I want to install back GC2 & expansions from my DVDs  & only dowload updates, so that I don't have a lot of Gigabytes to download

I tried going to : https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products
but it tells me to  "Please install the GameStop PC app and logon with your GameStop/Impulse account to download this software."
If I do that, will it let me download patches only ?

thanks.

It only updates the necessary files - in other words it's a selective patching process - however if you're installing from a retail disc and then using the GameStop app to update them, you may first need to detect the installation.  Use Detect Application on the Options (gear thingy) drop-down menu..

If you prefer to use the new Stardock Central application instead, I think I remember reading that you can contact [email protected] about getting your keys changed over - since you registered it with Stardock in the first place.  But aside from a few teething problems with the 2.04 update that I think are ironed out or at least there are known workarounds for, the other one will do fine.
