Twilight Help needed

Need some help diagnosing crash with TA

October 23, 2008 1:10:15 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

Ok this is going to be a long thread cause i have several things i need to get answers for

I downloaded Twilight a while back and everything worked just fine, but resently i have started having a problem where it is crashing randomly during play.  It just closes down and vista gives me a little window saying it is trying to figure out whats wrong and then says it can't figure it out so it shuts down.

So first things first: How do I find or generate my Debug log for one of these crashes?

Ok So with that I added the debug information so the second request is for someone to help me figure out why it is crashing

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem. The location you'll find the debug.err in varies depending on your game version:

Dread Lords, all versions:
C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2

Dark Avatar 1.5-1.6 (non-Vista):
C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar

Dark Avatar 1.6+(Windows Vista), 1.7+(non-Vista):
My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar

Twilight of the Arnor:
My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor

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.

Ok So here is the debug for my crashing twilight; part of me keeps thinking that the trigger is related to some random event but i don't even know how to read this thing. Please anyone who understands how to id the problem please point me in the right direction

I also found some error reports for the crashes in my windows vista event viewer, but again i don't know how to read it I pasted the most recent one after the debug in case that provides some additional insight into the problem

That points to a video driver issue. Since your drivers are over a year old, definitely check for new ones. If HP doesn't have anything in the 175ish range, check out laptopvideo2go.com instead.

I used the device manage to have it get the most resent drivers form NVidia but it still crashes,

I have also tried removing all mods, and checked to see if the error occured with DL and DA which it does not, i will look to see if i can find more resent drivers again using the link you provided and see if that corrects the error. thanks

Device Manager won't get the latest drivers, you need to do as Kryo suggested - check out laptopvideo2go.com instead.

 

Vista also has a service pack available, which you should install.

Get 178.24 first, and see if that helps.
