Do you guys mean the 1.1 patch, or something else?

I just checked. There is a 1.11b update with some other files. It's telling me
my information is incorrect too, and the update failed.

I got the same thing, but then it said it was validating my serial
number, and the update went through. I bought the digital download and
had the CD sent to me,and I had to update the number on the CD in a
certain amount of time. Did you guys transition from the download to the
CD? That might be the problem.

I bought the download, and also the CD. I don't recall anything saying I had
to update serial numbers. How does that work? I continue to use the serial
number from the download, and have not even opened the CD. I'm keeping it in
safe storage.

I think you have to go through the process of re-registering the game
with the number on your CD, but I can't remember for sure. Try the
Galciv 2 website and see if there's a way to do it there. I just did
what it said I was supposed to do and never gave it a second thought.
The forums might have some answers. I seem to remember having to update
the serial number after the game became available for download. Try that
on the website using your CD number and see if it helps.

Negative - bought the CD from Best Buy. Got all updates just fine until
this last one.

My last update was May 10th, and I updated it last night. That's what's
showing when I bring up Stardock. The way these updates work you'd think
if one person was having trouble we all would. I didn't do anything
special, just logged in and updated as usual. Can't figure it.

it took me two tries last night to update the game. I suspect they had a
glitch.

Indeed, it must be a bug. I have kept updating GalCiv II and never a hitch,
until the n.11 version. Then it barfed, like others here described. Yesterday.
My strategy: I'll simply wait until Stardock fix the problem, then I'll try
again Cant be bothered shagging around, reentering serial numbers and such.
No reason I should have to.
