Just bought GalCivII Ultimate off GameStop about two weeks ago. Been enjoying poking around and all of a sudden I'm getting the weirdest bug/glitch I've ever seen in a game. I'm playing into the end of the first year, and all of a sudden the entire Machine just turns off! I scanned it to make sure nothing was amiss, and found nothing. It is only this game that is causing this issue though. I can do anything else, surf the web, play Civ IV, or Railroads, even Madden and I have zero issues. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but have had the same problem after a period of time. Is this a known issue, if so how the heck do I get it to stop, I'm really enjoying this game, but it's getting quite annoying. My video drivers are up to date (within last 12 mos.) and I have a 4G page swap set up so I'm at a loss, any help is greatly appreciated. I have listed the debug report below. Thanks
