Crashes when accessing governor info

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, I just bought GCII-Ultimate Edition and am running it on Windows 7. Never had a problem installing or loading it and have been playing for a few days. Today, I accessed the governor info tab and set up some governors. Next time I tried to access it the game crashed. I started over and the same thing happened. Is there a patch for this? Or should I just only access the governor tab once per game session.

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.

Thanks Kryo. I'm not sure which game I'm playing - I loaded the ultimate edition which has all the expansions - is there a different file for the ultimate edition?

Sins of a Solar Empire II

No, the UE is just a bundle of the three. You'll pick which one you play on the launcher (probably Twilight of the Arnor).

It's a long shot but you might try updating your video drives from intel. You're currently running ones that predate Win7 RTM by a few months. Beyond that there's nothing system-specific that should cause any issue, so please contact [email protected] if that doesn't help and they'll pass your case on to the devs.
