Hi.
I have been playing GaCi2 Dread Lords for the last 10hrs and started to getting the hang of it when all the sudden it crashed mid-turn and all attempts to load the auto-save result in another crash.
As I have an AMD Dual Core and NVDIA video card, I downloaded the latest drivers but still no success.
So here's my error log. i am really hoping for some help here.
