repeated crash: GalCivII - Twilight of the Arnor

from Stardock Forums

I'm on a clean install of Vista on a notebook and I've played several games of TotA on tiny, small and medium sized galaxies. Now I'm several hours into a large galaxy game and the game keeps crashing when I hit the turn button. I loaded a previous point (autosave) and it keeps crashing on the same turn. So I saved the game one turn before the crash. Now this savegame won't load, it crashes the game.

What can I do to continue the game?

And how do I prevent something like this happening to future games?

Send in a ticket to [email protected].  Include all relevant information OS version and SP level, ToA version number, a dxdiag log file, your AV software info and ToA error log. Look for an auto-response from Stardock.  Note the tickect number, check your spam folder if you don't receive one within a couple of hours to your in-basket.  Then wait a couple of days for a written response.

3 things you can try.  Reduce graphics settings to lowest levels.  Reduce hardware sound acceleration to basic or none.  Remove any unneeded programs from system memory before playing.
