I Have Yet to Finish a Game » Forum Post by ckhenson

By crash do you mean that the game closes, or that it becomes unresponsive but it is still running?

FWIW I haven't crashed once. I wonder if there is an issue with machine requirements?

Successfully updated karma reason!

In my experience, crashes are inversely proportional to system power. My system is not great but should be good enough for the map sizes I've been playing. I don't crash more than once every 20 hours or so. For comparison, I crashed on Humankind every couple of hours at most. It's the main reason I uninstalled it (the other reason being that it isn't all that good).

The game is still running, but the screen is black. The cursor still shows, and I can move it, but I can't get anything else to happen.

I'm wondering if there's a UI problem rather than a crash. Like a dialog is hidden behind that window?

What are your system's specifications?

Please try to create a savegame just before it becomes unresponsive, upload it to a cloud service (DropBox, Google Drive, One Drive) and post a link here, so the developers can take a look at it.

Savegames are located in \Documents\My Games\GalCiv4\Saves

Also, it would help to see what is in the debug.err file, it can be found in \Documents\My Games\GalCiv4\
