in the last couple of lines there is an error about not having a valid ship class. I have no idea what ship it was, may have been the computers or maybe mine. So that 'Ship does not have a valid ship class in CalcTotalMoves' is probably related to the CTD.

otherwise I have no idea why it CTD'ed

Well, updating your video drivers might help. . .

I have not had any video problems and I have that Omega driver update which the debug is probably not detecting.

there weren't any other problems when that suddendly ouccured.

There are more recent Omega drivers available, and GCII detects them just fine. Make sure you really do have the most recent, and make sure it's a clean install too (no older drivers left). I've also run into this bug (or at least a very similar one) when a Precursor ship event happens. It seem like sometimes the game can't find the appropriate ship class to create a ship, so it dumps you to the desktop.

yea well I tried to do it with a problem I had with CoV and things got messed up and I had to revert and somehow they cleared up. But the thing is that the CTD wasn't related to graphics as I am having NO graphics problems. sure there is a little bit of lag in late game, but thats due to the number of ships and other stuff on the map.

I'd rather have a Stardock dev look at this because you two are saying its my graphics card, but I'm saying I have no graphics problems!

and it wasn't a Precursor ship discovery event, it happened while the computer was doing its turn, I think anyway. although... the Thalans did have that planetary quality event which doubles a planets quality a turn or two before the crash, which may or may not be related.

and like I said, I'd like someone who understands what I'm trying to show here to look at it because Ostsol missed what I was saying and I did reply that I have had no graphical issues. In other words I'd like someone who can actually interpret the error I got.

JJ, graphics cards aren't graphics problems. If an error with the driver occurs, then what happens is the game shuts down. You don't see the graphics, but it is a graphics error. Events happen during computer turns.

However, I don't think it's driver related, because I can't see any messages which say it is. But if you say you have a newer driver, it could be conflicting drivers, and wouldn't show in the debug.

I reccomend removing all drivers, and getting the catalysts from the ATI site. Besides, CoV has *issues* with non Nvidia drivers at the best of time (because NCsoft are hacks), so a fully supported ATI driver will only help both games.

Oh, and the precursor event may have happened to someone else. It's perfectly feasible. And once more, you don't see when you get a driver error. Nothing happens to the graphics, it just CTDs.

yea well, it was probably some kind of precursor event because I had no other problems during that game (other than the Snathi repeatedly declaring war on other ppl. I guess they just aren't very smart dimplomatically).

and if it was a driver conflict, it probably would have said in the CTD alert. I probably should be looking in the CTD error details more often.

anyway, if it happens again I'll post about it.
