Wont even load anymore

from GalCiv2 Forums

I was having some graphical issues with the game (minor), so i uninstalled and reinstalled. 

 

Now when i try and load up the game it just gives me a 3/4 black screen and nothing happens.

 

Im rather confused as to why this is happening.

 

Help :)

 

Thanks

Edit the Prefs.ini file to reflect your desktop resolution.

The lines you need to look for are:

[Video]
DisplayWidth=(your display width)
DisplayHeight=(your display height)

Note that there is a separate Prefs.ini for each version of the game, each in their respective folder (which is found in My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2, etc)

Hey,

 

I've been having a very similar problem, with the demo. I changed the details in prefs.ini as you described. But that just means the black square fills the screen lol.
