Can't start the game through SDC in Vista

April 25, 2007 9:25:20 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
If I click on run button in SDCentral to run GalCiv2 or the expansion I get a window with the message :

"gc2launch.exe has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

I have no problem run the GalCiv2 outside of the SDC.

By this do you mean you are able to run the launcher outside SDC, or are you running the game directly?

If by launcher you mean the window with buttons "Play Game", "Manual", "Update Game" and so on, then yes, I can click on the shortcut, which I placed into GameExplorer, and it runs the launcher without problems. Then I click on the "Play Game" and play the game itself.

I checked on this and it seems that it has to do with Vista's permissions system. Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done about it at the moment.

That's OK. We still can run the games. As long as you know the issue, we are fine.
