Anehii, if you continue to have problems after re-installing, please post the contents of your debug.err file (if one was created) from the GalCiv2 directory, including the system information at the top.  This will help me to diagnose your problem.

ok will do

how can i open the debug file?

how can I open the debug file to show you

It's a text file. Just drag it onto a notepad window.

Also, you jump onto #galciv in the stardock chat room (in Stardock Central, clickon "Chat" on the left column, then click the "Connect" button, then type '/join #galciv'). You can then talk to the developers in real-time.

allright ill do that when i finish installing I really hope it works after the reinstall

thanks to boogiebac it works now =D

I have exactly the same problem.

Here is debug.err
