Game stops

from GalCiv2 Forums
I looked through a few posts and I probably missed the one about this, so point me that way if I did.

Anyway, every game I play gets to a point where I am beating down one of the other races. I have a ship attacking one of their planets, it gets the first attack off and wins, I click to have it attack a second time and it does nothing. I try to move it, it has 0.0 as the movement time to where ever I click. I try to end the turn, the turn button vanishes. I can interact with everything, change things in my colonies, just not move a ship or continue the game. Any cure for this?

Game was run on gigantic, 7 enemies, fast tech, scattered stars. This just started in the past month or so, I used to play fine.

Please go to C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2 (or wherever you installed the game at), open the debug.err file you find there in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem.

I looked in the folder, did a search through all folders, etc and don't have a debug.err for Galciv2. Any other way to provide the needed info?

Not sure if it helps but I can continue the game for years if I never attack anyone, it only happens after a prolonged war and even if I reload the game.

I used to get the same thing, my turn button would be gone yet i could still do everything else other than move ships, sometimes going into the communications screens then back out would fix it, although this bug only happened when i was using the retail GalcivII, after the first update the stardock made i no longer had that bug, so try updating to the newest version and your problem will be fixed

Are you running under a limited account? The game will *always* generate a debug.err when it runs, though if youre logged onto windows as a non-Admin it may not be able to write the file. If that's the case, play the game under an admin-level account and it will be able to generate the debug report we need to help you.
