Game Crashes on Startup

from GalCiv2 Forums
I tried to play the game, and as soon as the screen goes black, I get a window's Send/Don't Send Error Report message.

Here's my Debug.err file:

Debug Message: Now Fullscreen


I think that like say that it's ok but you say it isn't... it's so hard to be someone that knows everything...

when the SD movie about Long Ago Powerfull blah blah blah.. finishs you get error?.. did you mod something? maybe the screens? weird? wait for Kryo to reply... he knows what to do.. I think..

Does it run with version 1.2?

You might try a reinstall and only go up as far as 1.2.
1.3b3X has some real problems with crashing. I can not get through a single game without 3-4 CTD's with this version, and my system has been very stable up to this point. Others have had more crashes as well with this beta.
