When I try to start a new game, any options, it will crash as soon as i pick my race and click continue. This is the error output. I have reinstalled it and deleted all the reg info.

Do not know how to report this here, so...

Bought Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Edition on steam.  It downloaded and fine and seemed to install alright.  The problem happens when I try to launch the game.  I try launching it and it says I need to reg. When I try this it says maybe my firewall is up, so I turned it off, and same error. It is not contacting something.

After all that the screen goes black for a few seconds and then screen comes back to the desktop.Application start: 2011-12-3 14.15.34

Debug Message:  Terran Alliance: Intellence -> 43

Crashing while setting up AIs usually indicates one of the custom race files is corrupt. Clearing them out from My documents/My Games/GC2TwilightArnor should do the trick.

 

The problem happens when I try to launch the game.  I try launching it and it says I need to reg. When I try this it says maybe my firewall is up, so I turned it off, and same error. It is not contacting something.

 

Please contact support@stardock.com about registration issues, they can help.

Yay deleting the stuff from that folder worked, it was remnants from when I had the game installed from Impulse.
