Crashes in Win2000

May 14, 2003 5:25 AM from

Hi,

I've just bought (downloaded) the latest 1.03 GalCiv
and I am playing it on a WIN2000 machine. I've tried
this on two machines (both 2000, okay.. I know.. XP for
games) but in both cases the game crashes to the desktop for no particular cause except that it seems
to happen when the computer is taking it's turn. I must admit that it is beginning to get annoying. Anyone
else see this effect. It has happened before AND after
downloading the bonus pack.

According to Stardock most of the crash issues were caused by 3rd party mods from the Library. Did you install any user mods?

Check "debug.err" in the \galciv directory. It's pretty good for telling you where the game crashes. It will give you a line and character number if it's crashing on a faulty data file.

End transmission.

There's also SmartException under Free Stuff in Stardock Central. It creates an error log when Galciv crashes that you can send. If you install SE and send me the report, I can see if I can fix the problem.

I've found and fixed a couple of end turn crashes, so it should go into an update soon after the rest of the team gets back from E3.
