Alright, I recently bought the Dark Avatar expansion to GalCiv II, and have it patched to 1.3 iirc, but whenever I try to play a campaign game, it crashes to desktop as soon as I enter the mission briefing. I had played the first two missions without a hitch, but then the third started acting funny. Here's my error log, which makes obvious WHY its crashing, but not the reason why the files are missing, nor how to fix it.
