I have the Gold Edition, which includes both Dread Lords and Dark Avatar. I'm attempting to play through Dread Lords, but the second mission won't load. Last 2 lines in debug.err seem to indicate the problem:
Debug Message: Loading custom map: ./Data/English/Campaigns\Ixith.gc2map (4294967295 x 4294967295)
*DEBUG ERROR: ***Invalid galaxy size passed to classGalaxy::SetGalaxySize ***
Edit: Just installed/updated the game this morning to latest available.
Kinda looks like an overflow to me...
OS: Vista Ultimate 64 bit
Vid card: Nvidia 8800 GTX
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
