GC2 Dread Lords : No campaign and crash when starting new game

February 20, 2010 3:27:25 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

Hello everyone !

I felt like playing GC2 again these days, so re-installed it (downloaded and installed through impulse), but as the title of my post indicates, the game crashes when I start a new game. And the campaign section of the game is empty (blank), I have no campaign available.

I'm using Win7 x64, here's the content of my debug.err file :

Try this (or this one if you have 64-bit windows). Save the file and run it, agreeing to merge when prompted.

I have the exact same problem except I am running XP Home. Will these reg files work with XP?
