TOA event crash

and one other problem

from GalCiv2 Forums
hi. i got the
Galactic Civilizations II Gold Edition and the Twilight of Arnor Expansion pack.

Installed Gold edition..  tried out the game.. was fun... dread lords and dark avatar was working fine...

then.. installed the Twilight of the arnor expansion...

runned the [GC2TwilightOfTheArnor.exe] and i got a warning window..

-> Galactic Civilizations 2:Dar Avatar needs to be updated to version1.80c.096 or higher in order to run Twilight of the Arnor. Please download the latest version from Stardock Central. ( https://www.stardock.com/products/sdcentral )

pressed [OK] button.. then Twilight of the Arnor ran fine...

played it all good..

but 1 problem...

whenever i clicked on the civilization menu.. and clicked the [ Event ]tab.. the game crashes...

but when i start a new game... opened the [ Event ] tab.. it didnt crash..
( maybe becuase i havent done anything yet - new game.. )

but when i started playing.. move ships.. colonize planet.. etc....

opened the event tab again.. wala... game crashes T__T

heres the debug.err  ^__^

I'd suggest doing as the message said. From that debug, it appears you're running the retail 1.5 version of DL/DA still. You can do so via Impulse, if you don't already have it.
