DA, Crash on starting second mission

April 9, 2007 11:09:50 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I completed the first mission fine, but after starting up again I get the application error:

"The instruction at "gobbledygook" referenced memory at "gobbledygook" The memory could not be "written"

I haven't done any other testing yet, though my non-campaign games have done fine.

Please go to C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2 (or wherever you installed the game at), open the debug.err file you find there in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. If this is a DA report, you'll find the debug in C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar instead. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem.

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug will be erased and recreated for the new session.

This is a known problem with 1.5x3. It should be fixed in the 1.6 beta version currently available.

Not at all, I have a Firefox plugin that allows me to easily insert prefab replies
