Repeated Crashing

March 4, 2007 2:12:40 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
For some reason my games of Dark Avatar always crash. I bought the game probably 3 days ago and played it for a day before it started crashing. It wouldn't really matter what I was doing at the time that I could tell, I'd click turn and then it'd crash. It'd do whether it was in a campaign or in a normal game. Here's my debug.

Debug Message: Version v1.50X Dark Avatar last updated on: Wed Feb 28 10:01:41 2007

Did you play it before the 1.5X patch, and if so, how stable was it then? A number of users seem to be reporting crashes with this new patch that were not previously.

I hadn't played DA before the 1.5X patch since my Stardock said there was an update as soon as I bought it online. I played GC2 and I never had this problem with it. I just got through playing a long game on GC2 and it had no crashes at all.

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 it at C:\Program Files\Stardock\SmartException (it will be the newest file with a .CRA extension).

Please include a description of what you were doing at the time, how to reproduce the crash if possible, and a zipped save if applicable when you send an SE log to gc2bugs.
