Thanks for your replies. I think not... I set regional settings to English(United States) yesterday with no effect for game. Game reinstall didn't help too. Have you any other ideas? Can video and audio codecs be a source of this problem? I launched the game with disabled sound device, the problem still exists.
I launched the game with settings: game res = desktop res = 1024x768, Fullscreen=1 and 0. game res = desktop res = 1280x1024, Fullscreen=1 and 0. No effect. Also, I changed folder My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2 name and launch the game with default settings (new Prefs.ini was generated) - no effect too. I tested DirectX with dxdiag.exe, all tests were successfull. So, the problem is actual.
If I try to play new game or campaign, the game crashes. After "Choose opponents" screen I see the loading screen with hint, and than game quits to desktop. After clicking on "options" button in main menu the game quits to desktop too. No overheating. I tried to use some video drivers, no effect. In SmartExceptions debug logger I see empty window. Patch 1.40 installed. I see that page file is not small. All changes of Pref file, what had been recomended for same
