[Crash] at loading game screen.

January 24, 2009 8:22:05 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Just downloaded GC and GC:DA to a new computer and use Impulse to run the game.  I can start a campaign game without problem, but whe I create a skirmish game it crashes at loading screen. The debug.err is below, any thoughts?  (I'm sorry, it won't let me single space the list) and whats with all those no files found lines???

I just tried that, it didn't fix the issue.  Its like the files aren't loading.

   1. -Click on Start, Run, then type "regedit.exe" and click OK
   2. -on windows XP 32bits, Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\Galciv2
   3. -here you should find a String value named "Language" with "English" as Data
   4. -if it's blank fill it with "English"
   5. -if it doesn't exist, right click then select New, String Value and name it "Language"
