Game keep freezing after 5-8 min game play

from GalCiv2 Forums
I have purchased and installed the game first from online and later from the CD and then patch it with 1.40X. The game run okay for about 5 to 8 min. After that, the screen graphics will distort slightly and then the game will freeze. The game can freeze at any screen, typically in the research screen, GNN news screen, plantet screen or I have to reboot the PC to get out of the freeze.

I have two graphics cards Geforce 9750GT in SLI mode and I have the latest drivers. I am having an Intel Core 2, 2GB RAM and more than 2GB for my page file. I have make sure my game resolution is lower than my screen resolution, etc but nothing help.

I really love this game even though I can only play it for a few minutes each time before it freeze and I want to solve this problem. I see so many people having crash or freeze problem in the forum and yet Stardock keep saying the game shouldn't crash. Really disappointing but I am not giving up.

Butane2, your best bet would be to get your debug.err from your install directory(C:/ProgramFiles/Stardock/TotalGaming/GC2) and open it with notepad. Then copy and paste it into reply. Also since your problem is a little different then the OP, you should probably start a new thread to post it so it doesn't get lost buried in this thread.

To add to my above resolution, I have also disabled the anti-aliasing in the game (i.e. set it to 0). I found that if I enabled it, the 'freezing' problem will come back again.

I was experiencing the same behavior as cloud5 with my 7900GS as well. I created a thread in the Beta Reports section here:

At cloud5's suggestion I tried disabling AA and that solved the problem for me as well. I was able to play for several hours without incident last night. Thanks!
