Application Error Crash for Latest Version of Dark Avatar

March 5, 2007 6:41 AM from

I am getting consistent crashes once the game gets into the mid stage. This was something that never occurred until I updated to the most recent version of Dark Avatar, 1.50X. Unfortunately, print screen does not seem to be working but the following is the error message (or type of message) I've been getting:

GalCiv2.DarkAvatar: GC2DarkAvatar.exe-Application Error

The instruction at "0X008c9a8" referenced memory at "0X04cefa80." The memory could not be "written."

Click OK to terminate the program.

Click Cancel to debug the program.

Is there a software "fix" for this or this is a hardware problem? My system easily exceeds all operating requirements.

Please install 'SmartException' from the free stuff section in Stardock Central. Make sure that SE is running and start your game as normal. If the game crashes it will generate an exception report that can be emailed to [email protected]. If SE does not automatically pop up and prompt you to send the report when the game crashes, you can find it at C:\Program Files\Stardock\SmartException (it will be the newest file with a .CRA extension).

Please include a description of what you were doing at the time, how to reproduce the crash if possible, and a zipped save if applicable when you send an SE log to gc2bugs.
