I have the same problem, other civs will grab the only decent planets available before I can even find them. There are to many worthless planets and very few usable ones. I have spent hours trying to find a quality planet within a short distance from my start point only to find someone esle already there. The human player needs a chance to get a foot hold first before incountering the AI's.

Brumba_12 Have you had any luck getting past the setting up players. I've got the same problem and have tried everything in the book. The only method I found to get the game working was back date the load, but did not let me use most of the DLC's
I have gone back through the game and done all the things that everyone has suggested. All files were deleted that I could fine, Then restarted computer. Still locking up at building players. I have no idea were to look in the files to find the problem. My programming skills are about 30 years out of date. So, if anyone has an idea of were to start looking and what to look for it would be great.
does anyone know how to reload updates after having to backdate the game to get it working again. I had to go back to 2.8 something to clear a load issue, but now can not use all of the DLC's
I had to reload my game back to the 2.33 version to get it working. Is there a way to add the updates back in. That way I can find out wwhere things went south and be able to use the newer DLC's
Afternoon: I tried opting in to the 4.1, did not make any difference. Then tried the older 2.33 version. Game is now working. Thanks for all the help.
Tried your ideas, still locking up at setting up players
I have an intel graphics 620. I have no idea how to roll back to an earlier version
tried both items. neither worked. I did see on the forum that back in Jan another gamer had the same issue.
I have deleted and reloaded the game, I've ran the validation multiple times, Have checked memory and all system items. nothing seems to work. I've changed the game settings to see if that was the cause to no avail. It was working fine up until about a week ago.
Juust recently the game has started locking up when loading, the stall is when building players. I've removed and reloaded the game, changed settings for the game build. Anyone else having this problem.
in the last week, Galactic Civ iii is locking up when it gets to the building the civilizations. I've removed the game and reloaded with no success. I've changed video setting. It just will not go past thr building civ's section
