Game does not start

April 17, 2006 9:44 AM from

I have just installed a copy of the game onto my computer, but when I click play, the screen goes blank and returns to the desktop. My computer has a compatible 128 MB video card. Also. What is a debug.err log and where do I find it?

The debug.err is a file the game writes informations in, you can find it in your gamedirectory (e.g. c:\games\galciv2\debug.err)

Many thanks. I eventually found it. It seems my drivers are dated June 2005. I presume this might be the cause of the problem.

Also make sure you are running at 32bit colour.

32 bit has solved the problems. Many thanks BHG.
