Alright decided to finally get around to trying to play GalCiv 2 . But when I got to start the game I get the loading screen it crashes to desktop after freezing and going 'Program has stopped working etc etc' I can alter the options menu and set up games I just can't launch games: last bug report, (I have tried reinstalling the game btw)
