Hi,
i'm playing the Dread Lord campaign and have reached the scenario 'Deception' of the Dread Lord campaign. Sadly i'm unable to start it, because each time i try GalCiv crashes to desktop with some unuseful error message (roughly translated: GalCiv has detected a problem and must be stopped). It happens while the 'Loading: Deception' screen is displayed.
All the other missions before Deception worked flawlessly, as do normal non-campaign maps. Im using the current version 1.10.027 with no mods or stuff installed. Since it happens every time i wonder whether there is some general problem with that map. Maybe it occurs on other machines too?
the end of the debug.err:
