1.3A crashes on me!

from Stardock Forums
has anyone else noticed this? i have just updated to 1.3A from 1.3; the crash happens when starting a new game or continuing an existing one. on the first screen after the game loads, when pressing the 'Done' button, i'm immediately booted back to windows.

i'm running the game in windowed mode in winxp. everything was fine before 1.3A!! i have also rebooted with hopes of correcting the problem, with no luck.

any ideas, folks?

interestingly enough, non-windowed mode works fine, and in hindsight, i realize i just updated the windowed mode today, too... so it must be a problem with that update and not with 1.3A.

You're not alone, it's a known issue. Hopefully they'll patch it soon enough so I can play at work again :)

I am having some issues with the latest patch myself. Weird things happening, and the latest thing was with the best game ever. It crashed to the desktop cannot reload always crashes at the same point. I tried changing all kinds of things not a thing will help. The bad news is that the entire programming staff will be at the E3 show. No fix for about 10 days I say. I was used to quick fixes. :D
I had one game I started, I found the drengin on both sides of a Hugh galaxy and it was real early in the game yet. :)

That's not true. I'm not going to E3. I'm staying behind to hold the fort. :)

Dave, you have a drengin serial. Are you running the new 1.04 beta? That might let you load your save games.

So, given that I've got one save game that's completely trashed (i.e. GalCiv goes completely non-linear right after loading it), and one that invariably crashes after the end of the AI's turn, where would you like me to send them? :)
