Dark avatar crashes after intro scene

February 3, 2009 2:32:25 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

I bought and downloaded the ultimate pack and dark avatar crashes after the intro scene, yet Dread lords plays perfectly fine but Anor crashes when I try and start a new game. I have the latest driver and I have set the screen size to the one I use on my desktop as well, please help.

Hi.

Your video driver is out of date. 11/02/2009 is the latest.

Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling. something may have been borked with the installation. Looks like there is plenty borjed in that debugg.err.

Also Sound drivers are out of date, Won't hurt to fix that up.

You have a corrupted DXpack; either you've got a bad install or are running a very old version of the base game (DA/TA require DL to be 1.5, they will not work properly with 1.4x).

In either case, reinstalling the base game and DA both via Impulse should resolve the issue.
