Was not sure if you wanted the CRA in its entirety. It didn't say in the "How to Report a CRASH" thread. So, I put all of it on there.

My colony ship tried to make a new colony on a planet. The colony ship disappeared like it was building a colony, then it reappeared next to the planet, then the game crashed.

Just some strange anomolies.

lol well my game is now in a crash test. on a game i measured down to one turn where it allways crashes. When setting everything to radominze i got a small map wit5h like 4 star systems. I also had one apponet. They are really dome becasue I have all the planets but two that are in there system. The wont even make one colony ship to get the lvl 12 planets in there system so i left it like that. over 100 trns still nothing they made no ships nada not even frighters when they have trade. i tested this over and over on a saved game and it alwasy crashes on the same turn. I am reasearching phasers 5 and on the 24 turn to complete it crashes. I dont know where the debug log is so i cant posty but i cant figher out what causes it. i have frighters so it crashes when they make it back to my planets and go back or is it a event. Well on that turn the screen goes black and a windows message comes up saying galciv has had a problem and needs to close. It ask to send a report or not. The only way ai got past this was to save it one turn to crash and start the game over and it worked.

My debug report is similar, with the same unsolvable CTD - and I have the newest Omega drivers:

At this point, I'm stuck going back to CivIV until somebody can help. I've tried everything. Stumped.
