GalCiv 2 - DL crash to desktop

Please post your debug.err info.
The file is located in the main program folder (usually C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2). You can open it with Notepad, select everything, then copy/paste into the reply.

you could always let the other civs send there freighters to you and not send any out because i rarely trade anyways in less i need money before a war. my computer usually crashes when i go to the trade page (next to economics) so i just avoid that page i sugest thats what you do just avoid trading i always get enough money to satisfy me from aliens trading with me.

just glad i can help if you ned any help just fin Spartan2209

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].

Include with the email a description of what you were doing at the time, how to reproduce the crash if possible, a zipped save if applicable when you send an SE log to gc2bugs, and the appropriate debug.err file for DL or DA. The devs cannot help if you do not provide these details!

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).
