Beta 2 Locks Computer

from Stardock Forums
I'm running Win98 on a K6II 450MHz with 360MB of RAM. When starting Beta2, the screen turns black, eventually the publisher's logo comes up then the screen stays black. There is no sound. I have to turn off power to get the PC back. When I first d/l'd Beta2 there was a glitch on the final module. I re-ran DGM and that module d/l'd. After trying Beta2 for a couple of times w/o success, I uninstalled it and re-installed. No joy.

A new kind of black-screen attack, Admiral? :notsure:

Hmmm...Joe is obviously getting past the first part of the bink screen, which would seem to indicate that he is not having problems with the dlls loading. Joe, can you please send me the debug.err file from your GalCiv directory so that I can see how far it is getting in loading the game before it get stuck?
