For the second time, I have a game that crashes quite early on when I try to switch governments for the first time to republican. The error log reads as follows (and I noticed its rather similar to posting #39 which documented a crash for a different reason). I noticed that when I tried to recover the game, in the area on the RHS of the screen where stacked spaceships appear, there were 16 little blank boxes. DOes Strategy First want a copy of the saved file, and if so, where should it be sent?

Why must I wait for the standalone patch? And where will it be located? Why can't the GalCiv people just put it under "Support", or "patches", or "downloads" on the Galciv site? What earthly purpose does Stardock or drengnet serve except to push other products at people who bought the game (which is a great game - just the update thing is wierd). ~SDC~

The best change you can make is to make patches available on the GalCiv site like other game companies do with their games. ~SDC~
You have the most bizarre patch process I have ever seen, which is used to do in your face pushing a a strange collection of products I don't want to buy. Why can't you just make patches available on the Galciv site like most other companies do with their products? Frankly, I'm annoyed. For those unable to figure this wierd process out, several hours of trial and error yielded the following: Look at the top of this window. You'll see some menu items - File, View, Tools, Help. H
My game crashes consistently at a certain point when I get the new election screen - as soon as I press the "vote" button (or whatever it is to cause the election to take place, the game immediatelt crashes and I'm back at the desktop.
