Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds: the Clone Campaigns by Lime

Hi there, This is my first torrent, so I hope it works properly. I've seen many of you asking for this, so here it is: Star wars galactic battlegrounds! I bought this game myself, and I've tested both the disks and the ISO files. Everything works. _____________________________________________________________________________________ STAR WARS: GALACTIC BATTLEGROUNDS SAGA The destiny of a galaxy hangs in the balance. You must lead the great armies of the STAR WARS saga in intense real-time strategy clashes across land, sea and air. Execute single or multiplayer battles as you deploy your armies and manage your resources. Play as eight different civilisations: The Rebellion, the Old Republic, the Trade Federation, the Separatists, the Empire, the Wookies, the Gungans and the royal Naboo. _____________________________________________________________________________________ This game works with every computer that works with Age of Empires II. I have not included a crack, because no one is needed. This game is not no-cd, because I don't think it's needed. You can surely find a patch, though. To play: 1. Mount in DAEMON tools or equivalent, or burn it to a CD. 2. Install. 3. Play. Note: Some people may have to open the contents of one of the disks (I've forgotten which one, I think it's the install disk) and click the install.exe file in order to play the Clone Campaigns. I don't know why this happens. Contents of SWGB_S.rar: SWGB_INST.iso - Install disk SWGB_PLAY.iso - Play disk I will not be able to seed this 24/7, but I will try as much as I can.

Ps: This is, Of course, the whole game.

aoe3 (2007-10-17)

yo limejet why i can't see the troopers etc. i only can see the landscape no building i hope u have a explenation

LimeJet (2007-10-18)

aoe3,
I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no explanation. It has never happened to me or anyone I know that has played this game.
I've seen several people on other versions of this torrent complaining about it, but no-one seems to know how to fix it.
I dont know if there is any help on this page, but you can try it:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/SWGB

LimeJet (2007-10-18)

Update:
I reckon there is a manual on one of the disks, consult that instead of me. As I said, since I've had no problems with this game, I didn't need any support, and thus doesn't know anything:)

zooka (2007-10-18)

Haha awesome man :D cool that you uploaded it only 2 days ago when me and my friends talked about it. hope it works on vista ! THanks !

LimeJet (2007-10-19)

Ok, I won't be able to seed for about 2 weeks now, but since my ratio on this single torrent is about 40, I reckon you guys should be OK.

Crillie (2007-10-19)

IF IT DOES NOT START DO THIS:
Go to:
\LucasArts\Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Saga
Right click on:
swgbg
Set compability to:
Windows 2000
-
And last but not least, thank you LimeJet!

Crillie (2007-10-19)

^
^
Also keep in mind this might solve other errors.

LimeJet (2007-10-19)

Crille,
Thank you.
I just wish to point out that my old computer had windows XP, and worked absolutely perfect, but if you're experiencing troubles, you should switch the compability mode to windows 98, because of stability.

LimeJet (2007-10-19)

sorry. Crillie.

undercom (2007-10-29)

When I start the tutorial after briefing it gives me an Windows OK and Details error :(
HELP. And when i start it ask for CD :(

Yodamester (2007-10-30)

This game is a shit. it doesn´t work. thanks limejet.

Yodamester (2007-10-30)

LimeJet when I start the game it starts but when iclick to single player it says that insert the play cd and than restart the game.

Yodamester (2007-10-30)

Limejet answer.

Yodamester (2007-10-30)

LimeJet and where is that patch in the battlegrounds.

Crillie (2007-10-30)

Yodamester is too rude, I will not put answer here.
Instead I will send a message to undercom who has the same problem.

Yodamester (2007-10-31)

Crillie shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crillie (2007-10-31)

Did someone hear a fly?

stupid m0nkey (2007-11-04)

u guys are arguing that's funny

AwesomeX (2007-11-04)

Ok i downloaded it and it works kinda it says that an older version is installed. but i look at my program files and add or remove programs and don't see it any were any help would be hot.

shaneasmith (2007-11-05)

ok im using power iso can anybody please help me to install this game sori

Yodamester (2007-11-05)

This game can not be istalled.

LimeJet (2007-11-12)

Yodamester,
This game is ripped by me from a retail version I bought myself, and tested by me and at least ten close friends, and I have found it to work perfectly on windows 98, XP and Vista. If you cannot actually get it to work, it is only because of your complete lack of competence to do anything, even spelling master, right.
To all others:
Because I have never had any errors whatsoever, I can not answer your questions. Sorry.

LimeJet (2007-11-12)

There is no patch needed, and the procedure for starting it up in poweriso should be the same as for daemon tools: Mount, install play.

Mofsera (2007-11-14)

A tip....use daemon tools..........

Drasyl (2007-11-20)

Errr, I seem to be having the same problem as AwsomeX. It says that an older version had already been installed, but I can't seem to find it... anywhere.
Did anyone ever come up with a solution to that?

Jouheen (2007-11-21)

worked fine on mine thx.. i used PowerISO not DAEMON tools.. no problems at all :D.. hehe like the game system tools it's like that the makers of this have take all from Age of empires II.. look into the senario editor on SWGB and the senario editor on Age of empires II.. they are like twins :D but great torrent thx a lot LimeJet

stateofmind (2007-11-22)

I'm having the same trouble as a few others. When I go to install a message pops up and says that a previous version of swgb needs to be uninstalled before it can install. I downloaded another torrent before this one which was just the original swgb with a crack so that no cd was needed. I wonder if the other people who are experiencing this problem did the same thing?

Drasyl (2007-11-24)

Nope, Stateofmind, this is the first time I've downloaded the game sicne it was referred to me by a friend.
... really, no one here knows how to fix this? No magic patch? I've done some looking around, but most of the sites I've visited didn't have anything for the situation. And when gameburnworld.com can't help you, you know you're screwed.

stateofmind (2007-11-26)

I haven't tried it yet but this is what lucasarts sent me in response to this question a few of you (including myself) have been having, let me know if it works.
The original Galactic Battleground and the Clone Campaign expansion must be fully uninstalled before you can install the SAGA bundle version of the game. This error likely indicates that you have residual registry entries and/or InstallShield files from the original game still present on your system.
Please try the following:
You will first need to manually delete the game folder from your harddrive if it is still present. If you used the automatic install option and installed the game to the default directory (C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds):
- Open My computer
- Open the C: harddrive/local drive
- Open the Program Files folder
- Open the LucasArts folder
- Right click the " Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds" folder and select delete. Select Yes to proceed past the warning that appears. You will also need to delete any other Galactic Battlegrounds folders present here (Clone Campaigns or Saga).
You may also need to manually remove some InstallShield files before attempting to reinstall the game.
- Open the My Computer window, go to VIEW on the menu bar in Windows 9x (go to the TOOLS option in Windows XP/2000), and select Folder Options.
- Select the View tab, and click on the option to "Show All Files" in Windows 9x or select the option to "Show hidden files and folders" in Windows XP/2000.
- Below this option (for Windows XP/2000) remove the check marks next to the "Hide extensions for known file types" option and the "Hide protected operating system files" option so these options are turned off. Click Yes on the Warning dialogue box that appears.
- Click OK at the bottom of the Folder Options window.
- Next, open My Computer and open the C drive
- Open the Program Files folder
- Open the InstallShield Installation Information folder
- Right-click any of the following folders present here and choose the delete option:
If you had the original Galactic Battlegrounds installed then delete the following folder:
{A202BDBA-753F-41B9-B649-CFB0B45FC03E}
If you had Galactic Battlegrounds Saga previously installed then delete the following folder:
{10133CDD-50B9-4783-B336-8B48F3653715}
If you had Galactic Battlegrounds Clone Campaigns previously installed then delete the following folder:
{0314ED3D-26A7-4F62-86A2-6B23353445E8}
(Note: Other folders may have similar names, so make sure that you properly identify the correct folder by its exact name before you delete it.)
Finally, you will need to remove any Galactic Battlegrounds registry entries before you can (re)install it. This involves making changes to your system that could be detrimental if not done properly.
- Click the Start button and select Run...
- In the Open window type REGEDIT and click the OK button. This will open the Windows Registry Editor.
- On the menu bar click "Registry" and select "Export Registry File..." to backup your registry in case you make an error and the registry needs to be restored. Type a name, such as Regbackup and click Save.
- To remove the game's registry entries click the + next to the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" folder on the left-hand side of the Registry Editor window.
- Below this, click the + next to the "Software" folder.
- Below this, click the + next to the "LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC" folder.
- Below this, right-click any and all folders that have "Galactic Battlegrounds" in the folder name and click Delete.
- Then click the minus "-" sign next to the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" folder on the left-hand side of the Registry Editor window to close this folder.
- Now click the + next to the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" folder on the left-hand side of the Registry Editor window to close this folder.
- Below this, click the + next to the "Software" folder.
- Below this, click the + next to the "LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC" folder.
- Below this, right-click any and all folders that have "Galactic Battlegrou

LimeJet (2007-12-06)

It's good that you help each other out. I could learn from this as well.

cloudiance (2007-12-07)

I hope someone can help me. My starwars doesnt have any music. It has sound effects and all but there is no music during gameplay. Please someone help me thanks..

LimeJet (2007-12-10)

cloudiance, what operating system do you use? I just reinstalled this (with my original disks) on my laptop with Vista installed, and I noticed that I didn't have any music. I don't know how to fix this, but if anyone is interested, could you find a solution?
(also, the soundtrack is somewhere on the second disk in CD-audio format, so if you put a burned CD in a non-computer CD-player and select track 2, you will hear it.)

LimeJet (2007-12-10)

I just noticed something...
all the other torrents is bigger per disk than mine. hm...

cloudiance (2007-12-10)

Thanks for the reply Limejet! I am using Microsoft Windows XP Professional. Well it doesnt really hamper my enjoyment, there's no deying the awesome soundtrack by John Williams. Btw, thanks for the torrent mate!

LimeJet (2007-12-11)

well, I'll have to check sometimes ^^

Isendel1 (2007-12-21)

I had corrupted files after downloading. I hope that I don't get the same error again after this second download. There should be a way to just fix the corrupted pieces and start downloading them without having to download the entire .rar again.
Is there any way to do this?

Isendel1 (2007-12-22)

I finally got the download right. After trying 3 times. I am really happy to have this game again. But it really bugs me that I can't listen to the music while playing. Is there any viable solution to this? Plz answer me.

Cheh3x (2007-12-27)

Hey limejet. thanks for the torrent but I'm getting download speeds of 0.9 to 1.1k. Someone pls seed.

LimeJet (2008-01-10)

Ok, here's the deal. I've lost my old computer, which means I've also lost the torrent. It feels kinda weird to DL one of my own torrents when I have the disks, so I won't. I'll try to find it on one of my externals, but until then, don't leech!

minin29 (2008-01-20)

Is this a expansion?

om1 (2008-01-25)

thanks stateofmind.... couldnt get my copy to install because of the install shield folder your solution works great

LimeJet (2008-02-01)

minin29: this is the full game AND the expansion.

Vilitu (2008-02-03)

Very good game!

Suxi (2008-03-13)

Hey. I got the Torrent to work and it installed without any problem at all. But I don't know how to mount it using Daemon or Alcohol 120% (I don't know which is better). Could anyone help me with this? Thanks.

kieranpete (2008-03-13)

Thanks for the torrent and keeping it going so long i bought the game its on its way but this lets me get some good ohours in before it arrives in weeks time ty

LordAlex19 (2008-03-14)

Thanks for the download, it works properly. But it won't allow me to build/ create scenario's.
I was wondering in the file that I downloaded, is there something I need to link with main directory which the install part.
If not may I please have the files that let you create them,cause I do not have the disc which it says it needs.
Is there a certain thing I need to do in order to get it working?

Suxi (2008-03-14)

Where are the .iso files for the drive emulator found? I can't seem to find them after I extract the rar files.

Toeknee2 (2008-03-15)

Made an account just to say
You my friend, are a fucking genius

LimeJet (2008-03-15)

Suxi; There is no drive emulator included. Go find one yourself.
As for LordAlex19: I can't understand what you are trying to say. Could you explain yourself in some other way?

Suxi (2008-03-15)

I know that the emulator isn't included. I do have one. I just don't know how to get the files needed for it.

LimeJet (2008-03-20)

Aah, Ok, Now I see your problem, suxi. There are only one .rar file in the torrent, the ones in that one are .iso files.

_Sanek (2008-03-24)

Well I found why I can't see units in my game. because these files : STemplet.dat ; graphics.drs ; graphics_x1.drs ; sounds.drs
should be 40-80MB large or so, but after the full installation, they have the size of 0. So if some one has the same problem chek this files.
Now people could you help me to play this game by sending them to my mail([email protected]) please.
Thanks.

_Sanek (2008-03-24)

Or by uplouding them to rapidshare or other site

gmfmaster (2008-04-18)

i think i have a problem that follows...
when i mount the inst with damen tools it ask me to start the game i click start it then goes to what is supposed to be the inst part then gives me a lot of error messegs and tells me to del the old starwars galactic bacttlegrounds i go to add/remove programs and it tells me the same thing help i have been trying to get this game forever and by reading the comments it looks like it works
thanks

LimeJet (2008-04-19)

@gmfmaster: In the comments are also information on how to fix your problem.

gmfmaster (2008-04-19)

limejet thanks for the the heads up and stateofmind
thanks for the problem solver
ps: me and my friend on youtube are trying to revive this game if you can help that would be good

Longbow544 (2008-05-24)

I remember playing this game, was real fun but mine was f'ed up so it had no sound and I couldnt play as the Royal Naboo (my fav civ). Hopefully this will work. 7% so far in 5 min.
P.S. gmfmaster, gl trying to revive this game. You might want to go advertise this torrent to the AoE community at www.igzones.com Last time I checked, they had 3k members playing on almost 24/7 (not the same ones mind you).

Longbow544 (2008-05-24)

O, and LimeJet, I have a few games that I want to make into Torrents, mind showing me how?

LimeJet (2008-05-25)

Sure, you just compress them or make them into cd-images with a program of your choice, then go into your bittorrent-client and select the folder you wish to upload, go to TPB and select upload and follow the instructions there.
If I'm not making myself clear here, go ahead and ask for more detail.

LimeJet (2008-05-25)

Also, happy day of the Jedi ^^

Longbow544 (2008-05-25)

What about the Bin and Cue Files?
O, and the game worked for me the very first time. Just download the 1.1 (I think) patch and the No-CD patch and everything works fine.

maverick74ad (2008-05-28)

Perfect torrent......Enough said. Thank you Limejet.

sps01 (2008-05-28)

ei guys...uhmm how do i mount the files??dont know how..i've installed the game already, but when i start single player..it still ask for another CD to insert so that i can play the single game mode..what should i do??pls help me!!

Mullzor (2008-05-31)

Hey,
Yeah, I can install it...but it asks for the CD when I need to play it. :P
Well, if the autorun.exe file and/or I have to mount the image, then that would explain it.
So, do I have to Mount with Daemon tools or??
Works sweet besides that...seeding now. :)

Mullzor (2008-06-01)

Ok so, this is how to do it (I think, since it worked for me)
1. start Daemon Tools
2.Unpack the files (Play and Install) to a folder on the desktop if you need to.
3. Install the game from the Install folder.
4. Restart "if" you have to.
5. Then mount the image. If you mount Install, it'll work, but not start the game modes, instead mount the "PLAY" folder.
6. Create player and have fun...
;)

LimeJet (2008-06-05)

Good news everyone! I've found the torrent file! I will now be participating in the seeding again!
Woo! For more Exclamation marks and caps!!!

rttt444 (2008-07-01)

hey, i'm really new to this and wll claim retard in this field. but i dont know how to install... if you could walk me through the entire process. even the litle things that would be great.

rttt444 (2008-07-01)

ah, i am no longer retarded. nevermind
thanks for the game. wonderful download speed

schnurbus (2008-07-04)

hey!
Everything seemed to be working perfectly. A very fast dload and no probs with the installation. However, after about 15 minutes of playing I got and error message from microsoft (you know which one, '..has detected a problem and needs to close.') Anyways, I tried playin' it again some hours later and now the following is what I get all the time (unfortunately it's in german, so I hope my translation is good enough.)
battlegrounds_x1.exe - error in "application"(?)
The command in '0x6cc4ca86' refers to memory in '0x00000066'. The process 'read' could not be performed in the memory.
I also tried re-installing it, but the problem remains.

schrade (2008-07-24)

Does this include the original game as well as the expansion? or is this just the expansion pack?

schrade (2008-07-25)

need the damn no cd crack...everytime I click on single player it says it wants a disk.
anyone got the crack? I'm havin' a helluva bad time tryin' to find it on the net...

electroma (2008-08-02)

Dude try Mounting The game On Daemon Tools CD1 that should do It... or not try to find a crack from google search.....

Topper42 (2008-08-18)

or you could try www.gamecopyworld.com
I'd suggest mounting it with something like Daemon Tools first though

benmrules (2008-08-18)

having a few problems with this...still. this wasn't the first SWGB torrent i downloaded i tried one other first but it was all in Spanish...and didn't work. anyways since it never installed properly there was no way to properly uninstall it other than deleting the files and i think i probably missed some, but anyways my problem:
ok so i've downloaded and installed it, looked to be working fine but when i first tried it normally it went straight to the game's main menu, skipping the intro. all very well but when i tried actually playing a game it gets as far as the black screen transition between the loading screen and the game, and then crashes to desktop. tried running it in compatibility mode (i'm running Vista) for XP, and ME, and 2000, and 98, and 95...basically all possible options on the compatibility front, even clicking those lil check boxes underneath. the lower comp. modes load the game with the intro (omg! i remember that) but still the same problem. whether it's a campaign, scenario edit, standard game etc. it amost gets there and then crashes to desktop. leaves me wishing i still had my discs
any hep here would be hot ^^; ;)

benmrules (2008-08-20)

actually not to worry i figured it out eventually. for anyone having the same problem as me try right-clicking the application and clicking run as administrator. seemed to work for me, i might have been running it in compat. mode for 2000 too but don't think so

Ted_Ninja (2008-08-23)

About to DL this. If anyone has any problems with this game it probably could use a good crack/NOCD patch. You can find them on gamecopyworld.com (google "no cd" and it should be first) and they usualy have good patches and if they cant host them they link to sites that do. Personaly I prefere to use Power ISO or Alcohol 120% (find it here at the pirate bay with cracks included) over D-Tools.

Korthtron (2008-09-14)

I can seed a bit

Pandinus0 (2008-09-16)

I dont get it. I'm not exactly computer savvy, but I've downloaded Daemon tools but I am clueless as to what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

astroview120mm (2008-11-17)

Why is there no music? How can I fix this? The game works perfectly otherwise, thanks.

Jorma_ (2008-11-22)

What is the exact file you have to mount in DAEMON?

Vader_Was_Framed (2008-11-26)

You are, without a doubt, a fucking GENIUS!

yessirs (2008-12-23)

i remembered playing this game a while ago but i lost it so im downloading this one.and i also remember that i would always just build an army of jedi and demolish everything hahahahaha

TheNiceNightmare (2008-12-23)

Okay, I don't know shit about computers, and I'm incredibly new to this whole downloading-stuff, so if someone could be so kind as to give me a step-by-step guide on what to do until I can play the game, I'd be forever grateful. I clicked the file, saved it, opened Vuze... now what?

TheNiceNightmare (2008-12-23)

OK, I managed to download the file, but the thing is... I can't find it anywhere! Could someone please help me with some directions?

walnutboy13 (2008-12-28)

@TheNiceNightMare
Do a search on your computer for SWGB_S_LIME.rar, then Google WinRAR and download it. Open the .rar file, extract to a directory (My Documents, Desktop, etc) and find SWGB_INST.iso and SWGB_PLAY.iso. Then Google ImgBurn and download that, and finally use ImgBurn to burn the .iso files to blank CDR's. Finally, install the game, and you need the Play CD in the drive to play.

mrloller (2008-12-30)

Do we need to burn it to a CD? Can't we just use Daemon Tools, or a similar program, run the install file, and get a nocd crack?
Also, I was wondering how much space installing this will take up, I'm on an older computer and have some space constraints.

MM2007 (2009-01-02)

The torrent works perfectly. Thanks LimeJet!
To everyone talking about a "no cd crack" - YOU DON'T NEED A NO CD CRACK! Christ. Just mount the ISO files with Daemon Tools and you're good to go.
If you don't know what Daemon Tools is or how to use it. GOOGLE it.
@mrloller - It takes up 751MB of space when installed (not including saved games).
Thanks again LimeJet! Great torrent.

UltimaGreenBeast (2009-01-12)

Hehe...I used to be a total addict to this game =) Thanks alot Mr. LimeJet, may the Force be with you :D

theBudders (2009-02-07)

Works very well. I missed playing this game when it wouldn't work on my old computer. The cheats rule for it.

Edi_CJ (2009-03-01)

find the no cd crack on google

Llurdaen (2009-03-02)

hey guys I downloaded this a while ago but it was accidentally lost when I changed computers. Anyway it is a great game, no viruses etc works great I highly recommend it.

Llurdaen (2009-03-03)

And now when I want this game again there are three active seeders? I was going at 200+kbps, and now I'm lucky to get over 15. Come on people SEED!

picken_that_banjo (2009-04-19)

Im new to torrents, but this was one easy torrent to setup.
Open the containing folder and move contents to some place else, then run setup or whatever they called it.
Then mount the play disk to your virtual drive, (I used daemon tools) and enjoy one of the best age of empires type games

Beaker76 (2009-04-20)

Do i need the original game to play this?

nutmaniv (2009-05-06)

Wow! Whoever is seeding keep it up! I'm getting 400-500 kB/s.

pmaxer (2009-06-21)

Im getting 103 kb's from LimeWire so thats pretty good, i got 40 mins left (estimate) but anyway, is this JUST the clone campaigns or is it the whole thing? wait nevermind, if its the saga then its both but you should change the name to "Star wars galactic battlegrounds with The clone campaign" or something becasue i was thinking it was JUST the CC, but then i decided to try it, only a few hour DL, even thouhg i would have it by now becasue i went to the movies and had it paused for some reason. (i saw terminator: salvation, it was great)

pmaxer (2009-06-21)

Also, what do you mount? the only file i can find is in the LimeWire folder and i cant find a file compatible with Daemon, pls explain how in detail, ive used torrents before but this one [censored] me over.

pmaxer (2009-06-21)

Nvm, i found the Setup file :P

pmaxer (2009-06-21)

need help again :( i installed but cant find the file that you mount to Daemon tools, where is it located?

Chezzits (2009-06-22)

Yo, if anyone can answer these series of questions i have, God Bless you.
so,#1 - what exactly is this so called "daemon tools?" and how exactly does this application help my installation?
#2 - after reading through the comments posted by you all, what does it mean when said "MOUNT"
#3 - Right now i am using U-Torrent to download this torrent file, is that alright or does that Daemon tool download it?
#4 - so im thinking, without experience, that after this download, i use Daemon tools to somehow open up or extract the files.
#5 - if you care and want to help me and don't want to answer these various questions, then it'll be GREAT if you can just post up some type of procedure or walkthrough in your own words.

userred (2009-06-23)

hey Lime,there´s a problem at the "data 2" file =( ... says it has an error!! well,thanx anyway!

@ Chezzits:
I know this is a very long post, but bear with me It should answer all your questions.
#1 - Here we go. Pretend that you went out and legitimately bought this game like I did not. You would have opened the box to find one or two CD's inside. You put the CD in the tray, and it installs the game for you. If you think of this whole torrent as the box, then you open the box and one or two CD's are inside. Unfortunately, you cannot download a physical CD, so somebody ripped all the data off of the CD in the form of an ISO file. This is just a file like a ZIP or RAR that compresses many files into one, which is then put on the CD you "bought." But since you can't put a file in the CD tray, Daemon Tools is software that will let you "trick" your computer into thinking that you have a real CD, and it is in a CD tray like it should be. Daemon Tools creates a virtual CD drive into which you can "mount" or put the CD image. The computer recognizes this and thinks it is a real CD, when in fact all you have is the ISO image.
#2 - Once you insert the CD image, which is called "mounting," into the virtual CD drive Daemon Tools created, the normal installation will begin as it would if you had put a real CD into the real CD tray.
#3 ? There are two different things happening here, which you may have gotten mixed up. One, you are downloading the torrent, and Two you are installing the game. For number One, you have to use a special program to download the torrent. There are a ton of them out there, U-Torrent is a good one. Then to install the game, because of the format it?s in (which is an ISO, the ?fake? CD that I talked about in #1) you need a program that will mount it for you. There are also a lot of these out there, probably the most famous one, and cirtainly a very good one is Daemon Tools.
#4 ? Exactly. Once you finish downloading the torrent with U-Torrent, Daemon Tools will let you open the file, and put it in a virtual CD tray to install it as you would if you had the real CD in your hand. There is one problem though, which doesn?t concern Daemon Tools at all; that is that the entire torrent is compressed into a RAR file. You will need a program called WinRar to extract the ISO CD images before Daemon Tools can see them. (To get WinRar, go to http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm and download the trial version for now. If you want you can search The pirate bay for a full version, but this will work for what you need for this torrent.)
I know that was a long post, I?m sorry, I hope it helped all those who needed it. Any questions email me at [email protected]

do you have the first 1?

toro1230 (2009-07-28)

I downloaded and installed fine ( I think). But the colors don't look right. They almost look like a film negative. I tried I'm running "Analyze Your Computer", it passed all but 1 item. It didn't show what the item was, but the item above was hard drive space for the C drive, which passed; I know it has something to do with the D drive, which shows I only have 626MB of the recommended 750MB. Does this or that I am running Vista have anything to do with the problem? any ideas how to fix it? Thanks for the game, and any help.

toro1230 (2009-07-28)

Nevermind...got it fixed. I uninstalled/reinstalled it with the recommended settings. It still had film negative images on the options and databank screens but game play was great. Thanks.

toro1230 (2009-07-29)

ok, game play is working fine, but the sounds cuts off, no music...sometimes just sound effects and sometimes nothing, any ideas? thanks.

pogothearabmonkey (2010-01-17)

Okay i finished downlaoding, this is how i installed and it works perfectly:
I got Alcohol 120% to mount the file called SWGB_INST which brang me to the option to install, it installed fairly quickly. it asked for me to restart the computer but to make sure i remove any discs in the driver. so i went to the alcohol 120% program and ejected the ISO, and then Un-Mounted the ISO. then i restarted my computer. IT turned on i logged in and then opened up alcohol again and Mounted the file SWGB_PLAY and it allowed me to play the game and everything works fine. Great Game. Thankyou LimeJet.

For people who dont get anything on how to make it work, google "Mounting iso. Files"

the_trololo_troll (2010-11-25)

hey man, im having just one problem getting this game to work.
i've burned the SWGB_INST folder to a disk and the SWGB_PLAY folder to a disk, and i've also installed the game. But, when i reach the main menu of the game (where it says single player, options, etc) and try to play a single player game, it tells me i need to insert the disk.
I do have the disk inserted in the computer... any ideas?
Thanks

the_trololo_troll (2010-11-28)

hey, i fixed my own problem by renaming the CD to SWGB_PLAY, which is the exact name of the game folder

Di1225 (2010-12-05)

I Loveddd playing this game when I was younger, so I want to give it another shot. I have been trying to download it for 2 days straight now...still only at 75 percent, seed please? (or could this a problem with my internet?)

CaiusMisus (2010-12-20)

Hi, I'm new to Pirate bay, not the torrentz. I just want to ask if anyone else is having problems (or even knows how to solve it) with the game crashes after clicking the Chat or Diplomacy buttons.

the_masterz2011 (2011-02-11)

I checked the cd2 (play), and the music files are missing!! no workaround can play music during the game. Could you tell me how to find them???

GTXTREME (2011-03-18)

Works Perfectly !!!

look4dl (2011-04-05)

i downloaded some time ago in my pc and im downloading again in another computer of mine. well bro, thanks for that, really good torrent, works perfectly!!

Xero3 (2011-05-15)

I am having a difficulty and would appreciate if someone could answer my question.
When the SWBG_INST comes up, and the menu appears, i click Install. Instead of prompting the install it asks if i want to uninstall this application and all of it's components.
I've searched endlessly for the files, and have deleted every trace of the game, which i had previously installed, and uninstalled, but it still prompts me to uninstall, when i'm trying to install.

Xero3 (2011-05-15)

Oh also.
I've used REGEDIT to find the LucasArts file and deleted it. The problem is that when i try and install it still prompts to uninstall. And if i Do press uninstall it doesn't even uninstall, instead it says "maintainece on Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds done" or something like that. I mean what the hell!?!? And then once it does "matinence" it remakes the folder. But i still can't play.

Reaper24 (2011-05-17)

To fix the music problem, do this:
"There is a way to solve this
1. Donwload The demo version of Age of empires 2
2. Take the midi folder from the sound folder of the demo of age2
3. Put that folder in the sound folder of the full Age of empires 2
4. Create a shortcut of the age2_x1.exe in the age2_x1 folder
5. Click properties and add to the target "-midimusic" with quotes
6. Start the game with that shortcut and the game will have background music
PS If you want you can download the demo of the conquerors and take the midi files from the midi folder of the demo. Just remember to rename the midi files from the conquerors from music 1-8 to music 9-16 so it doesn't replace the other ones"
Yes, I realize this is for Age of Empires II, but I bit that can you fix this game's music problem in the exact same way, since the two games use the same engine and all. I'll try it myself later on and tell you if it really works.

Reaper24 (2011-05-17)

Nope, it didn't work. The demo version of this game has no music either -_-
The only other way I can think of is downloading the full track from wherever and then simply running it using an audio player while playing the game.

MasterXelcas (2011-06-19)

Yea hello, I just downloaded this, and I used to play it (on this same computer) all the time with the actual disc and it worked perfectly. After a while i stopped playing and removed it from my computer completely. Now i dont have the disc and felt like playing it so i installed it from this, and in mid game it crashes my computer. Can someone help me, i just want to enjoy this game again

Silnt (2011-06-26)

i had the game i got from a friend and i lost the play disk and i wanted to play it again and i want to burn this on to a CD but i don't know how. any help would be great

Thank you, much appreciated.

itsnani (2012-04-12)

Hey man
I am having trouble playing the game, every time i click single player its says i need a disk, others have talked about it before but i dont know what to do, Can someone please explain how to fix this step with detail please because i really want to play thank you :)

Joker-Face (2012-05-15)

I hate RAR. Files but with games it's a must. Thank you LimeJet. To those like me, download WinRar, then Daemon tools (both free). Then just open the containing folder, it will automatically bring it up in WinRar, click the "install" file (there's only two options), install, and then play!

B0undl3zz (2012-06-21)

Hey it downloaded great and installed perfectly except when i try to do single player it says put in the disc and restart what do i do??

B0undl3zz (2012-06-21)

when im trying to play it says insert disc and restart what do i need to do?

agent17d (2012-07-27)

Download power iso and re-install it. It should work fine. Dont crack the game. But dont forget to mount the game! Otherwise it will be asking for a CD.

-Distance (2012-08-16)

worked great windows xp (yes im still useing xp) xP
thanks limejet!

ras1116 (2012-09-09)

thanks but it would have been more better if you also included the no-cd exe of the game because the bug problem when you try to play the game it said you need to insert the cd even if you already did that. but thanks to my effort i found the solution to it and got the game work.

ohwin (2012-11-26)

Well mine downloaded and installed properly and I was able to start the game, but once I did, no matter what game mode I chose, the camera view would not stay still and just moved automatically to the top of the screen. Nobody else on the web appears to have the same problem. I even went so far as to find and install my actual CD ROM version of this game and the bug is not fixed. Does anybody know what I can do?

cainite (2012-12-04)

i own the original but not the expansion. so thanks for the upload!

ShadowJax04 (2013-03-03)

Great torrent but how to enable music? I seem to recall my copy came with in-game music besides on the menu screen.

outdoorplant (2013-09-25)

Game works best in XP but also runs on 64bit Win7 with a few color issues but that’s the game not the torrent. The game its self isn’t as good as Age of Empires or Age of Mythology but I’m a big Star Wars fan so its still fun.

Insup (2013-12-09)

Works great, I also downloaded the Windows 7 Launcher to fix most of the color issues

Check that link out for TONS OF MODS!
If anyone wants to Direct Connect to play (if its still working) Steam me - Insuperab1e
I will seed for about 2 days!

Kevin500K (2014-01-26)

To anyone having the "Insert CD & restart" problem,
Download and install Daemon Tools Lite. I was using PowerISO to mount the game & it was asking me for CD. However when I mounted it with Daemon Tools, it didn't ask me for CD & it worked!
Bottom Line, If you're using PowerISO to mount this game and you're having problems playing, try mounting using Daemon Tools, Much Easier!
By the way, Thanks for this Torrent LimeJet! may the force be with you!

Kevin500K (2014-01-26)

The only problem is that the game doesn't support my 1366x768 Resolution, but i'll find my way around that...

garudaz (2014-02-26)

WORK FINE THANKS

Chico1066 (2014-03-31)

Guys if you're having the old "Insert Disk to play" problem run the "battlegrounds_x1.exe" file in the Game folder. That worked for me. Great upload thanks!! :)

dudeguyy23 (2014-05-22)

Ok. First of all, much love to Lime for putting this up on here... LOVED this game as a kid and having craved playing it many times the last few years.
And it's a bonus that this is totally legit since I already own both games!
Anyway, I got it working on Windows 8, and here's exactly what I did:
1) Download with uTorrent.
2) Open file with WinRAR (will recognize and read compressed RARLibrary archives). Think of this as a sort of translator that is able to read a foreign RAR filetype that normally your computer wouldn't know what to do with.
3) Open the SWGB_INST.iso file in WinRAR, and click on the "CloneCampaigns.exe" file. It should eventually open and present you with the Clone Campaigns popup box. The first box should say "Install." Click it and install the game.
(This is cool because back in the day you had to have SWGB installed before you could add on the CC expansion. Using Lime's file, I installed CC right away without any other files and it has worked fine!)
4) The game should be installed now. If you open the SWGB_PLAY.iso file in WinRAR now, you should see Autorun.exe. Click that and the window should popup again, this time saying "Play Now." Click to play!
Here's the kicker-- if you get a "Insert Disk to play" error, it's SUPER easy to work around:
Download DaemonTools Lite (if you don't want to pay, it will work just fine), and install it. Extract the entire SWGB_Lime file in WinRAR.
Open DaemonTools. Click Add Image, and select the SWGB_PLAY.iso file from Lime's torrent. Mount the image of the PLAY.iso file. Should work like a charm!
Tricks your computer into thinking the disk is in your CD drive.
ENJOY!!!!

dudeguyy23 (2014-05-22)

BUG FIXES:
*No Sound: Run Autorun.exe in Compatability mode for XP Service Pack 2. Other earlier versions likely would work as well.
*"Insert CD to play": Make sure to mount the Play ISO image in Daemon or equivalent. This essentially activates the necessary things to make your system think you have the CD.

dudeguyy23 (2014-05-22)

Also, to avoid crashing after you get through intro videos, make sure to create shortcut to desktop of Autorun.exe and run that in compatability mode for XP.

ghostkernel (2014-06-03)

works like a fucking charm on my pc running xp. thanks uploader. will seed for life!
