Window 7 64bit issue

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hello,

I am running Windows 7, and GC2 insta;ll;ed fine, but when I fire it up it gives me an error about needing drivers of version 178.16 (Nvidia Display) or higher, Window 7, even on early betas nver had below 180.xx, I am running 190.38 as it is one of the more stable drivers, and I know the card is MORE than adequate for the game, as I was running it on my XP machine previously, GeForce 8800 Ultra.

I ahve not had a chance to play the game at length yet on my new build, but so far all I am seeing is low res issues.  Any recommendations?

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem. The location you'll find the debug.err in varies depending on which game you're playing:

Dread Lords: My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2
Dark Avatar: My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar
Twilight of the Arnor: My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor

Older versions may store the debug directly in the location the game is installed at.

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug will be erased and recreated for the new session.

I have the Ultimate edition, and I got the error form just clicking the icon, which do you think that would be in.  Also, might take me a bit to get it, as I developed a HDD problem.  Thanks, I will follow up.

I wonder if your issue is a side effect of your HDD having problems.

I am running Windows 7 64bit Ultimate with an nVidia card and the game runs ok for me.
