Stardock Central crashing to desktop?!?

June 21, 2005 8:43 PM from

This may have nothing to do with GalCiv2, but...

I am at a hotel with an internet connection that is a little sluggish. I'm not sure if that is causing these crashes. Every time I load up SDC, it first does the "verifying internet connection", then displays the list of News items, then after a few seconds with status "searching for updates" showing, I get a crash to desktop. I don't even have to click anything, just start SDC and wait for it to crash. Anyone else seeing this problem?

I am now getting the "Stardock Central has encountered an error and needs to close message". I installed the latest update, then when I restarted the PC, I now get this error message and the application crashes.

You are not alone.

Have uninstalled the last update and reverted to 2.05 it doesn't crash like 2.09b.

We have just pushed a new update for Stardock central that should correct this problem.

In the event that SDC Crashes before it can perform the update please try reinstalling (http://storage.stardock.com/files/stardockcentral205.exe) and then allow it to do its update.
