Crashes once I try to start a map.  Was playing it just fine last night but tonight it refuses to work.

As it's crashing at AI civ generation, try clearing out the custom race files from My Documents\My Games\Gc2TwilightArnor. Might have a corrupted one in there.

I've been having the same problem whel loading up the Drath (Terrans. I haven't tested any others yet to see if they work). I tried deleting my custom races, but the problem persists. What else could be causing it?

Edit: Never mind. I solved it. Good luck with your own game.

TOV: Just in case someone else is having the same problem as you, would you mind posting your fix?

It wasn't a fix, really. I just messed up when modding the Drath's tech file and deleted something I shouln't have. I'm afraid I can't help you out any more than that.
