I have the latest steam version of GalCiv 2 Ultimate Edition and every time I try to create a new game playing as the Yor Collective the game crashes while attempting to generate. If I play as the Terran everything is working fine and I have not tried any other races thus far. I've re-downloaded the game 3 times and verified the local game files several more so either Steam has a screwed up version or the game itself is the culprit. Looking through the error log, it looks like there are some missing files or the path is set incorrectly perhaps.
Looking at it again right now I see at least one thing out of whack, the entry...
Debug Message: No files found matching mask C:\Users\rfxcasey\Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\ships\*.xml
Debug Message: No files found matching mask C:\Users\******\Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\ships\*.shipcfg
seems incorrect as there is no 'Documents' folder but rather 'My Documents'.
Any help would be lovely.
Here's my error log:
