Follow up post here. Looks like it is working fine, I'll keep my fingers crossed of course. Before I had my video card set to the highest settings, it is an nvidia geforce 6600 with 256mb and I changed it so that the program sets everything. It seems to work now. I should mention that my previous video card was an ATI 9000 all-in wonder. I havent tried galciv1 again but I bet it will work now. I do however get strange artifacts when playing, white line

I have posted before about my random crashes. Anyway, I upgraded my video card and it increased my play time from one hour average to three hours average. Also, I bet a lot of the people who are having random crashes with galciv2 would also have random crashes with galciv1. I have both and they both crash randomly so something in the code of both of those games has a problem. I should mention of course that no other games give me any problems. </
Looks like I didnt have the latest drivers. ATI came out with some new drivers a few weeks ago that I did not know about. Anyway now GalCiv2 only crashes every couple hours, yay . I am convinced that both of our problems are tied to the video card, try changing settings and see what happens.
Ive got the same problem. Althought my saved games do not stay corrupted, often loading a game will crash it. I have turned everything off that I can. I used to be able to play for a couple hours without a crash. Now it seems like every ten minutes. I even upped my virtual memory to 4GB and nothing changed. My PC is home built and I think there must be something about my computer that crahes it. I have no problems with any other programs. Back to
