kickingbottom, I disabled ALL of the troubleshooting options in the menu and it fixed my crash. I can play through complete games now. Bear in mind, the visual experience leaves much to be desired, but I still enjoy playing ;) I'll have to try that AMD X2 64 optimizer update and see how it works.
I disabled all of the troubleshooting/performance options like you suggested, kryo. That seems to have solved the problem of the gratuitous crashing. The game is very bland though with blank, grey balls for stars and planets...and no textures to speak of really. I am currently enabling the options one by one to see if I can narrow it down. Let me know if you find out how to fix the problem permanently, and thank you for all of your help. :D
Yes, It ends with: "Error flipping back buffer to primary buffer." "D3DERR_DEVICELOST" "Device lost" "Attempting to reset device."
Hmm....actually I lied. I made it about 15-20 minutes into the game and it crashed on me again :(
Thanks kryo, I can now play the game after disabling the planet/moon/ring textures :D
Hi, I'm new to the community but I have a serious issue that I need help resolving. I just purchased GalCiv2 Gold Edition today but, alas, I cannot play because the game crashes to my desktop with Windows telling me that it simply "stopped working". I will post my debug.err file for your review. I have read the other threads that I could find about game crashes and none of the solutions offered therein fixed the problem. Please help! (Just FYI, I am running 2 Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT
