I contacted Stardock Central and was sent a replacement GalCiv.exe file. Game appears to be working correctly, now. Thanks again, CariElf!

[quote]Did either of you get any relief to this problem? I am experiencing the same thing. I started out with AP 1.50 - no problems, then upgraded to 1.52b and I get a crash to desktop everytime I hit the "menu" key when playing a "Good v Evil" and "Altarian Alliance" game. Everything else seems OK.[/quote] Current fix by Stardock is to send a new GalCiv.exe file to replace the one causing the crash (thanks again, CariElf!)
Hi, I'm kind of new, too. But I have run across this random event, also. Sometimes, you or the AI just gets lucky! :D As for getting to the system with your Battlehammers, you either: 1) Have to conquer/colonize a planet closer to it, or 2) Establish a starbase closer to it. Of course, there are techs you can research that will extend their range, too.
Are you sure you have the right forum? It doesn't sound like GalCiv. GalCiv2, maybe?
Yeah, it just happened to me, too. Playing the "Dark Earth" variant, hit menu, and *BANG*, it crashed.
