I've started(just started...not played) GalCiv2 after solving some major bugs. First, this Stardock Central thing couldn't download the game properly. I downloaded the game three times.
And then game wasn't able to display ship and planet textures. I updated all drivers, but it didn't work. Interestingly, changing regional settings of my computer solved that problem. And then game ran properly.
It is 3:07 AM and i am yet to play game.
