hello there,
I was trying to play the game after long long time i didn't touch it (damn you wow
).
anyway, when i click the icon immediately i get error window "gc2launch.exe has encountered a problem and need to close....",. for some bizzare reason if i start the game from the folder (galciv2.exe or gc2darkavatar.exe) it all work fine.
here the debug log
