Demo Crash to GC website

from GalCiv2 Forums

Wanted to try before buy.  Installed Demo.  Seems to start fine, I see the opening video.  A DEMO news screen pops up talking about the full edition.  I have two buttons on this screen - Go to the GC website button seems to work fine.  BUT, when I click the other button, "Continue" which implies it brings me to the game, I instead crash to desktop and the GC website also opens up - just to the GC home page.

I tried searching this forum for "demo", but it didn't find an entry at all??

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem. The location you'll find the debug.err in varies depending on which game you're playing:

Dread Lords: My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2
Dark Avatar: My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar
Twilight of the Arnor: My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor

Older versions may store the debug directly in the location the game is installed at.

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug will be erased and recreated for the new session.
