I just reinstalled the game VIA Impulse, however I'm having issues when trying to launch a game. I can launch the campaign game ok, however when I try to launch a game i crash to desktop. Tried custom and defualt race, as well as various game sizes with no change. I'm going to post my debug.err below. However the thing that concerned me about it was the line that read "Debug Message: Danger Will Robinson, no Stars!!!!". Any ideas what may be causing this?
Thanks
