Ok, I just changed full screen=1 to 0, and now it works. But it sucks, because some windows items sit right over top of the game. To answer my previous question, it appears that the "Dreadlords Campaign" you can play through "Dark Avatar" is the same as the first game anyway so I guess it doesn't matter really? Would still be nice to know what the major malfunction is though...
I was running it at 1680X1050 at first, and it did the same thing. Oh ok, I was nubbing out. I found the prefs.ini. Just change res to match my desktop, no joy. Could the fact that I may have leftover files in \my games\GalCiv2 be causing a problem? Also, does it even matter if I can't run Dread Lords? I just peeked at the Dread Lords Campaign through Dark Avatar, and I swear the first mission looks exactly the same one as in the very original Gal Civ 2.
I can run TA and DA, but not Dread Lords. I have recently reformatted everything, and updated all drivers including my monitor driver. I tried to modify the prefs.ini file, but I do not have such a file. Currently I'm running the digital download version of both games. I also tried a pirate copy that I used to run, but it doesn't work anymore either. A small black window opens up in about 1/3rd of my screen, but nothing goes beyond that. Below is my debug file. Thanks in advance! <
