Today is Release Day! Yay! I know that you've all been waiting for this day for a long time, but hopefully you'll think that the end result is worth it. We're very happy with it here. Twilight is now available for download! If you have any problems after following these tips, you can hop on irc.stardock.com and we'll try to help you. Anyway, I have a few tips to make sure that that you don't have problems installing the full version of Twilight.
First, update Dark Avatar and Dread Lords if you haven't been keeping them up to date. That way, you won't load up Twilight only to get an annoying pop up.
Second, un-install the beta of Twilight if you have it installed. Check to make sure that the folder and all its contents were removed. This will ensure that you get a clean install should avoid any problems of files not being fully updated, etc.
Third, if you decide to play Dark Avatar or Dread Lords while you wait, make sure that you exit the game before attempting to update any of the modules. Otherwise, the installer may go to update a file only to find that it's been locked by the game and can't be removed.
Fourth, make sure that you remove or rename your My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor folder so that Twilight can start with a new one. This will avoid any problems due to the custom race xml files not being updated, ship files with old information, etc. Save games from the beta should still load, but you may want to start a new game anyway to be on the safe side.
If you are installing from SDC and you run into problems, go to Tools->Internet Settings and refresh the XML data, then restart SDC. Whether you're installing from SDC or Impulse, make sure that you have the latest version. You can also try switching servers. All updates get posted on US-1 first and then the data has to sync to US-2, so if you start downloading immediately after we post it, your best bet is to be on US-1, but later in the day, US-2 might have less traffic if everyone is trying US-1. If it doesn't show up, you may also need to un-check the Show Pre-Release versions option.
My Raid5 hard drives have crashed and I and about to ditch them and do a clean install on a single drive. ( much less hassle)
I have all the incarnations of gc2. I only want to play TA.
Which versions do I need to install and in which order? Thanks.
The game itself is running fine with me. The only problem I am finding with it is that I do not have an inital menu screen. I mean the one that has "Play Game", "Switch Chapters" ect. When I start the Arnor game (select the program or the shortcut icon) It opens straight the second menu. "New Game, Load Game, ect ect" I noticed this only because I wanted to look at the new editors and apparently they are on the primary menu.
Is there a chance I forgot to download something? Is it not out yet (like the manual)? Or am I doing something stupid...which given my lack of computer knowledge is what I am figuring. Again, aside from that menu not showing up,the game works beautifully. I am really loving it.
The launcher should be there regardless of which the shortcut is set to run--check the folder where the game is installed at in explorer (or just use search), the file you're looking for is TALaunch.exe.
Ive installed Twilight/Uninstalled/installed/un/in...4 times now and the same problem is occuring...the game keeps skipping both in audio and graphics, almost as if I dont have enough RAM, but I do. Gal II and DA both run fine but Twilight keeps skipping. Cant for the life of me figure it out...any ideas. (ps..if you have any ideas please understand that I am computer illiterate) Thanks Nelbo
Nelbo -- please start a new thread as follows (don't reply here since it's a different issue):
Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem. The location you'll find the debug.err in varies depending on which game you're playing:Dread Lords: My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2Dark Avatar: My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatarTwilight of the Arnor: My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnorOlder versions may store the debug directly in the location the game is installed at.Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug will be erased and recreated for the new session.
Okay, I just got this off of Impulse today. I used to have GCII before physically a long time ago. So I registered the game, downloaded it from Impulse and Twilight of the Arnor will not even get to the main screen. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. GeForce 240M on a laptop. I never had a problem before and Dark Avatar works fine, just not Twilight. Do I need to run it in compatibility mode or something? Thanks!
Never mind, I guess I had some old save files on here. Got rid of them and worked fine.
