CTD on Game Start
GalCiv2 Forums
I've just bought Gal Civ II Ultimate as part of the "Space Unlimited Compilation". I installed the game as normal, installed Impulse, and updated the game via Impulse. Unfortunately, whenever I now try to run the game it tries to go fullscreen and then crashes.
System:
Pentium Dual-Core E2180 OC @ 3.0 Ghz
4 GB PC8500 DDR2 RAM
Geforce 8800 GT 512 MB
Windows 7 HP 64-Bit
I'm running dual-monitors, both @ 1280 x 1024
Any ideas?
