Yesterday I purchased Gal Civ 2 Ultimate Edition from steam. It installed fine. When I tried playing today I was unable to get past the race selection screen. It does not matter whether I try to use a pre made race or a custom race, the game freezes and then crashes to the desktop.

Edit: Also, if I try to go into options then go back to the main menu and start a new game, the game freezes and crashes.

Here's my debug file:
