Windows Crash

from GalCiv2 Forums
Ok guys i solved my problm with downloading the game, now i run into another problem. Randomly  in the first 10-15 mins of gameplay the game freezes and "WINDOWS" resets totally. I read on the boards to check my debugg.err file however i dont have a program to read the file. I dont know if its my drivers, but i updated the newest drivers and the game still continues to reset my whole "Windows" console. Is there anybody who has recieved this problem. I have a radeon x1600 graphics card with 256 mb and im running a core 2 duo computer so i dont think its a hardware issue. Can anybody from tech support message me back with help of could i Personal Message anyone. I would appreciate any help i love this game and just wanna play it badly, thanks.

The debug.err is just a plain text file with a funny extension; open it with notepad. You can just rename it to debug.txt to make it easier.

If your system is rebooting, that generally means a driver crash is happening and Windows is set not to show the technical details, or that some part is overheating or failing. The debug will at least tell if your drivers are outdated.

Spartan53,
I have an X800XL and i'm having a similar issue... game freezes, monitor goes blank but then i have to do a hard reset. I'm pretty sure there is a bug in certain mid-level ATI cards (not sure about the higher end). No fix provided from support yet though.

Can someone help meI got a asus g1 laptop and can play arnor for about 15 minutes before it freezes. laptop has go 7700

You're using some pretty ancient Vista nVidia drivers which have a bug causing hangs and crashes in the video driver. You'll want to get the latest available from your laptop manufacturer or from nVidia. If neither offers drivers at least version 101.41 (the version this was fixed) or higher for your system, then try the latest from laptopvideo2go.com instead.
