TA crashes

December 30, 2007 11:07:32 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I was able to play TA for a couple of days without problems. It started to crash during game play today Dec. 30th 2007. So I restarted, then it crashed on trying to load a saved game. Then I restarted Windows XP Home w/ SP2 five time to finally get it to gt tot he deskstop. Then I started TA and it crashed befoe I could do anything. I had to restart Windows about 6 or 8 timers to get it back to desktop. TA crashed immediately upon starting. The pattern was one of progressive instability.

Sooooo, I unsintalled and re-installed everything except tutorials, movies, height maps and multimedia.

TA started but crashed while trying to set up a new game.

I am useing a DCLCD DCL24A 24" LCD monitor which has a native resolution of 1920x1200. The monitor is identified as a "Plug and Play" device and uses Windows' driver. DCLCD does not provide a driver for this monitor. This reolution is what I have been useing on all my applications and TA is the only one with which I have a problem.

I found a work-around. I merely set my monitor resolution to 1440x900 by right clicking on my desktop and bringing up Display Properties. I seem to be able to play the game at a resolution ingame of 1920x1200.

I have started a new game and played a few turns without crashing.

The "work-around" no longer works.
Upon trying to start TA, I get video artifacts and the game locks up after loading a saved game.

TA is totally unplayable for me. I am going to have to completely un-install it as it is affecting my start-up of Windows. It causes video artifacts half the time I start Windows XP. When I get the artifacts Windows startup hangs and I have to power off the computer and try to start again.

TA can't have any effect on your machine when it isn't even running. Sounds like you've got some major driver/hardware problem going on.

So three weeks late I finally got my system back together and most of my applications re-installed.

I had to reinstall Windows XP Home as it got corrupted.

Both my 8800GTX card and one stick of RAM went bad at the same time. Strange coincidence . . . .

I just installed all the Stardock software and I'm about to fire up TA to see how it runs with new memory and a new 8800GTS(G92)card.

Crosses fingers . . . . .

Check here for the monitor driver download:

And it is never wise to play the game at higher than desktop resolutions.

It shouldn't even be possible to play the game at a resolution higher than a monitor's max resolution... And kryo is right farwalker, TA can't affect ANYTHING regarding your system when it isn't running. Sounds like you just had some bad luck hardware issues.

TA started but crashed while trying to set up a new game.


I noticed the max res for your monitor att the top of the err file was lower than your actual res.
