GalCiv2 Ultimate Edition - game freezes PC

February 1, 2010 7:15:28 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

I've installed Ultimate Edition on my Win7 x64 PC and every time while playing Dread Lords or Dark Avatar (haven't experienced this in ToA although I haven't played it more than 5 minutes), wierd sound starts through speakers, then game freezes, screen wents gray with thin dark gray vertical stripes and I must reset my PC. It happens within few minutes after starting the game, even if I spend few minutes not playing but only looking at the options it still freezes.

Do you have the throttle framerate option on or off in the options? Having it on can help to reduce or prevent overheating issues, which may be the problem since there's no obvious error at the end of your debug file.

I don't think it's overheating because the card should be able to handle the game.

I can play the game, although I'd prefer not to have to lose 1-2 minutes on reseting the PC every 10-30 minutes, but I can tolerate that.

 

Well, thank you for your help anyway.

You'd be surprised. It was an issue with high-end cards back at release because they would actually run *too* fast without taking a breath to cool off, so to speak.

As there's nothing else obviously wrong, I'd suggest contacting support@stardock.com for further troubleshooting.
