Game Crash when turn button is clicked

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi,

My game is crashing when I click the turn button on a map that I've been playing. I have saved the game up to the point where I click the turn button. If you want the save game file I'd be happy to send it somewhere. It crashes every time.

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.

Ok, I deleted the prior Debug.err. Reloaded the save game, and clicked the turn button. It crashed, here is the debug from the crash. *As a note, I get a windows error report box pop up when it shuts down the program.

Since you're on 1.31, the first thing you should do is update to 1.4X off SDC, which fixed some crash issues in 1.3.

I have the exact same issue!

And its KILLING ME!!! I just want to play

Here's my debug.err -

Yes, mods are on (has nothing to with it), and yes its 1.4X updated...

This debug file doesn't say anything to me that I don't know, except how frustrating this has become...

The game loads fine, the screens load fine, its just when I press the "TURN" button, three or four ships move then... Bam! Crash with a nice dialog. I've made at least four new games and each one after about five or six hours of playing, I press "TURN" to make the screen go black... So, I've wasted a few days of my life trying to end a game, but I can't get past "three years" in game time in...
Please get me back so I can waste more days establishing "Democracy by blaster point" in a virtual galaxy...

Please install 'SmartException' from the free stuff section in Stardock Central. Make sure that SE is running and start your game as normal. If the game crashes it will generate an exception report that can be emailed to [email protected]. If SE does not automatically pop up and prompt you to send the report when the game crashes, you can find the crash report at C:\Program Files\Stardock\SmartException (it will be the newest file with a .CRA extension). This will help the devs track the error and solve it for the next release (or provide you a personal build in the interim).

I did just that (and try tuning more settings/mods off/reinstall, etc.), and thank you for such a prompt reply!

Believe me, I'm some how addicted to this damn game... I still play Space Empires 3 for Malfador when I have the need for galaxy crushing...

If '(or provide you a personal build in the interim)' could come true, I'll sing the 'Peanut Butter Jelly Time' song for an hour!

P.S. I've always wanted a hybrid HW2/GC2 game (are there truly any?), and have never found one that came close. I would lose years of sleep playing a game like that...

You may want to check out Sins of a Solar Empire then... beta for preorders begins in January.

Matthew, DA reports belong in the Beta Reports forum. Please put them there so they are not mixed with support requests for standard GC2 and the devs can find them when they're working on DA, thanks.

sorry did not realize it was the wrong forum was just reading it and posted mine as well I will make sure to post in the proper forum.
Reply #12 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
Not Meaning to nag, but will you please hurry up with the fix? I have sent in several reports from smart exception, but to no avail...The game is become annoying to play because I just end up quitting in frustration when the game inevitably crashes and I have to start over.

Here are my debug stats, if it will help. This is from when I saved a game before crashing, and loaded it after the crash to see if it would work...It didn't...
