ASSERT ERROR in file g:\projects\pear\source\canvas.cpp

Which version/language are you using?

german version
i tryed out all patches (german, english), reinstalled the game many times, nothing helps.

if i try to play on a small map the game crashes after some years
on bigger maps it crashes in the first year.

What kind of internet connexion do you have?
Because I remember reading somewhere that you are able do download the whole game from stardock if with a valid galciv serial ID.

From what I understand, you have installed Stardock Central to be able to have the latest patch to date (1.13). Am I right?

128 kbs

yes you are right

do you think if i download an other version of the game it will work?
i dont think so

moreover it is to expevcive for me to download the hall game

That why I asked you about your internet connexion.

Have you tried to put the first german version and then upgrade to the latest patch? I know that it will mixes german and english text
BTW, have you desinstalled the game before reinstalling it? Just to be sure that the registry is clean

yes i deinstalled the game
and
yes i upgraded with the latest patch,

i deleted also all saves,

i am working on this problem since monday....
dont laugh, i even reinstall win xp

i dont have ideas anymore (:(

I fear that I can't help you

the interesting thing is:

g:\projects\pear\source\canvas.cpp

this file, directory and drive doesnt exist

Have you try a search in this forum about the thread with "french" in their titles? When the french version was out, there were crashes and some comparisons with the german version.

Have you installed the files in the sticky thread about french and german crash?

I am just asking but I fear to already know your answer.

Hmm... I think that the canvas class has to do something with graphs like the ones that are used for the powergraph. But then again I don't know what an assert error is. What graph have u selected to look at? Can you see any connection with the crash and the graphs? I'd like to see the coresponding line of source code to have a look at it.

I don't think so, but maybe galciv uses uncompiled libraries (DLLs) where you probably have a corrupted or expired one. Well, just speculating...

Don't worry about the canvas error.  The path refers to the computer that the GalCiv.exe file was created on, and in any case it's not the one causing the crash. 

When you go to start a new game, can you set up your player abilities and configure the computer players, or does it crash even before you get to the setup screens?

(Hardware cant be a problem AMD Athlon 1400, GeForce2, 256 mb)
The is not a problem to, i putted all files for german versions from http:/www.joeuser.com/sdfiles/monsters.zip
into the gfx and data folders... moreover the game crashes even the survey ship is on a orbit of a planet.

Are USS Hero on auto survey? Because what you describe remind me a bug with space shark and the impossible tech.
Another possibilty (it was a bug in the french version) was a crash with the first election (when you change governement for republic).

Have you looked at the link I have posted,

Thanx a lot for this link
but i dont realy see a solution in it.
I think i have the same problem like Mariner2003
maybe he could help me, but i dont know how to contact him

Peace Phoenix

USS Hero is not in the universe it is on a orbit of Sol*,
whatever USS Hero is not discovering anything

i see no connections between the crash and the changing to republic

...most of crashes happens when i click "Turn"
sometimes it crashes when i move some ships for example colony chip (not only survey ship)

...after a crash i cant use the save game, load the saved game, it loads to 100% and shuts off. Everytime

...if i try to play the previosly save game i can just do one turn, on the second turn it crashes again

Looks like you are in deep trouble.
I suppose that you have directX9 installed (it would be too easy if it is that ...)
I see only one solution:
- update to version 1.19
- install SmartException from stardock central (in the free stuff section)
- play until crash.
- sent an e-mail to CariElf with the debug.err file (and the save game if a save game causes crash).

You can look at the first post in the thread for reporting bug about version 1.19 for the e-mail (and other thing as the current bug list and the currently known crashs or bugs)

Hope this help.

IT WORKS.....I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS BUT IT WORKS

PS: I just reinstalled the game and updated to 1.03 one more time

1.03 or 1.13 ?

Galactic Civilizations 1.03A upgrade and bonus pack

So you are playing 1.03 game. Right? too bad that you can't play at higher version due to crash.
