1.3 beta is extremely unstable

September 4, 2006 10:36 AM from

My Galciv 2 game is extremely unstable. I've got DirectX 9 I think and color is a 32 bit.

It is crashing every few turns of the game.

Yes, several people have reported major stability issues in the latest beta patch. We need all the SmartException reports and Debug.err files you can provide to help pinpoint them (post in the official 1.3b3x bug thread or email [email protected]).

Download "SmartException" from www.stardock.com. It's a small utility that sits in your system tray. If GalCiv crashes it will record diagnostic info in a file that you can email to the programmers at Stardock.

Posting debug.err helps too.

If possible, auto-saves or manually saved games can also help us out if they reproduce the problem.
