I'm having a crash to desktop problem on starting up Twilight of the Arnor. This used to happen from the start menu link, but not when launching from Stardock Central. Today I patched Twilight and now it is crashing from Stardock Central as well (I suspect because it opens a launcher now).
Anyway, looking at debug.err, the problem is fairly obvious. I have had to uninstall and reinstall GalCiv 2 a couple of times on this machine, and at some point I changed directories. Launching the game now, its trying to get files from the old directories, so something obviously hasn't kept track somewhere.
Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated, thanks,
Glenn
