Game crahes whenever ship to ship combat starts - Dread Lords

September 3, 2007 8:10:33 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Game runs fine until ship to ship combat starts ( one ship comes up to the other ship, but before any shooting animation starts ), then crashes. I can reload game save from turn before and the crash will occur at the same point every time. Can reload save and move one of my ships so that combat occurs 2 turn later instead of one and crash occurs then. Had a different game also crash the first time ship to ship combat started.

Video drivers are very recent, and my page file is at the minimum suggested. My desktop resolution and game play res are same size and at suggested min size.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Here is the debug.err file contents.

Does it still crash if you disable the combat viewer-related options in the menu? I see you're also running 1.4x still--you may try updating to 1.5 from SDC (fully reinstall in the process if you can).

If I uncheck "Show ship explosions" it doesn't crash anymore. Weird.

If you can point me to a file I can download to update to 1.5 I would appreciate it.

Thanks

1.5 is only available on SDC, sorry.

If disabling explosions helps, you might also try it with explosions on, but with the simple explosions option on as well.
