Crash while launching game (Non-Scenario) in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I just reinstalled the game VIA Impulse, however I'm having issues when trying to launch a game. I can launch the campaign game ok, however when I try to launch a game i crash to desktop. Tried custom and defualt race, as well as various game sizes with no change. I'm going to post my debug.err below. However the thing that concerned me about it was the line that read "Debug Message: Danger Will Robinson, no Stars!!!!". Any ideas what may be causing this?</

1. They got stuck in an asteroid field. But this usually drops movement to 1, not 2. 2. They entered Yor territory with their Super Ability 'Super Isolationist', and a military starbase is also somewhere in the same sector beyond your vision, which is armed with an Interdictor Beam module. 3. You upgraded your ships and the upgraded designs don't have engines. I think everyone's done #3 at least once before, I know I've done it once, a

The game also has the music tracks in the game directory (./music/) as MP3 files. I've imported them into my iTunes (which doesn't seem to slow down the game at all while running) and have the tracks I enjoy, along with some other ambiance tracks from other sources, playing, and turn the in game music off. You could use this also if you chose to play a game with the DA features, but have your play list in your music player of choice play just DL tracks. Just my two cents, they've both

I could have sworn awhile back I was able to get my support up to a whopping 9% at 81% taxes, but if memory serves I had eitehr built (or traded for) all the support trade goods, and had three or four fully upgraded moralle starbases.

I tried this once -- Worked well on the offense, but if you're not the one doing the attacking you're pooched as one hit will take them down -- even with defenses, a lucky hit will burn one with it's 1 hp I used them once as starbase killers for enemy resource starbases. Sent groups of four with heavy weapons loas, kill the enemy starbase, convert to a cheap constructor with no drives and take over the base. One to put the base down, one fo

I don't see how the multiplayer minority guys can stand the delays in turn based games like this where turns can take 10s of minutes! Games take long enough single player. I'd never have the patience or large contiguous time slots for multiplayer turn based games. Starcraft? Sure. UT2k4? Sure. GC2 or Civ ? Ugh, run run run!!!</TD

Sometimes the newer ships can be better because some techs (and the Armor Plating Trade Good) add to the hitpoints, and they only affect new construction from what i've seen.

Reply to Time to acknowledge the game is buggy ? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Personally i've only ever had one CTD -- and it was probably my fault for trying to do too much with my computer at once -- and i'm using outdated video drivers (For some reason Obsession #2 -- World of Warcraft doens't like newer video drivers with my video card) I've had some gripes with gameplay issues, but the game's been rock solid for me.
