I realize this is Beta but this bug is really not nice! Whenever my colony ships reaches a planet it brings up the colony name and I leave it like it is and press enter. Then the game crashes and a message comes up about microsoft error reporting and asks me if I want to report this error becuase the galciv2.exe has been terminated. Has anyone else had this problem? I would think that the stuff in the beta would at least work enough to show the basics of the game. And colonizing is needed in the game! It's possible it could be my computer. I'm running it on a notebook computer. But my specs should allow it to run.
3 Ghz intel p4
1 gig ram
128mb GeForce FX video card
WinXP Service pack 2.
Well I downloaded the latest graphic drivers for my custom built HP notebook from the HP website. That's what nvidia said to do, and if I colonize a planet on the first turn the game doesn't crash. If I colonize it after the first turn the game crashes with that stupid error reporting message. I realy don't want to buy a new desktop computer to play this game because the drivers for the notebook graphics suck. Will someone please help the idiot. (That's me.) Thanks.
