Win7 crash

October 2, 2011 11:08:13 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

debug below.

 

Game worked fine for all the time I played it on my winXP machine. Installed it today on a new Win7 laptop.  Installed fine, and I can access the game and setup game parameters without an issue. However, when the initial map loads for the new game, it crashes.  Tried to initiate an update check via stardock, but it crashed as well. 

Any thoughts?

Were you trying to play a scenario? There was an issue with those in 2.02 which could cause startup crashes and was fixed in 2.03.

As for updating, Stardock Central has been discontinued for quite a while now--you will need to use Impulse to update. If you meant to say that you were already using Impulse, please contact [email protected] if you're having issues with it.

I noticed the other posts about this problem, and checked to make sure I was not running a scenario or anything, and I also manually updated the ini file with resolution settings and such, as others have had to do.  SoaSE has been working fine, just not GalCiv2, and Impulse (yes, I meant impulse earlier, my apologies).

Currently, here is where I am at...I have uninstalled the CD version of impulse and installed the current version from their website. That is working now.  Currently updating all of my stardock games via Impulse, and we'll see how it goes. Will report back the results when it is complete, in case others have this problem as well.

Update:

All working fine now, so far. Had one crash about 100 turns into a game, but otherwise stable. If it happens again, I'll post a debug.

Apparently the first thing one should do when installing GalCiv2 on a win7 machine is replace the DVD version of Impulse with the current one from the website, then let Impulse update the games.
