Game Lock Up

from GalCiv2 Forums
A regularly occuring error that is taking place for me is when I load a game and complete the first turn after loading, the game locks up when I end my turn (hit the turn button). However, I am able to reload from an autosave and continue from that point. Then when I reload, the lock up may or may not occur again. It has happened 3 times in the current game I'm playing on a gigantic map. As a side note, there are fleets of ships near the edge of the map (or off the map based on the "gift" of free starships). Below are the contents from the debug.err file for the game: Debug Message: Version v1.50x3 Dark Avatar last updated on: Mon Mar 12 18:37:34 2007

the game locks up when I end my turn (hit the turn button). However, I am able to reload from an autosave and continue from that point. Then when I reload, the lock up may or may not occur again.


Is it locking up the entire system, or does the turn button simply disappear and not come back (but you can still scroll the map, etc).

When I hit the turn button, the turn button disappears, but I am able to move the cursor. However, the map does not scroll and no other buttons work. I usually wait about 5 minutes to see if it's just a long wait or if it's "stuck". After 5 minutes, I may be able to bring up the task manager (works 75% of the time). I then kill the game (listed as "not responding"). I then restart the same saved game and it repeats 100% of the time. I kill the game again if I can and restart with an older autosave. The other 25% of the time, I cannot get the task manager up and have to kill power to the computer and reboot. I hope you can help and keep up the great work on this outstanding game!

I have exactly the same problem. I tried to fix it myself by updating my video driver, but that didn't work. Meanwhile, I cannot locate a debug.err file. I checked in the usual place and even searched my entire system, but I can't locate it. Is there any reason why GalCiv would fail to create it?

If you run under a non-administrator account, it may not have permission to write it.

I then restart the same saved game and it repeats 100% of the time.


First off, I'd suggest trying the 1.6 beta files posted here first, and see if the problem occurs in a new game under that patch. If it does, and you have a saved game that repeats the issue every time, zip up the save and send it with a description of the problem, and your debug.err file to gc2bugs@stardock.com so the devs can look at it.

Those are some pretty old sound drivers.
I have the Audigy 4 as well, and there are drivers available from Creative that are dated 6-17-2005.

I saw the old sound drivers after I posted and updated them. Same result. I'm going to try the 1.6 Beta 1 and see if that resolves the issue.

Update: I've installed Version 1.6 Beta 1 and that seems to be working so far. There has not been a reoccurence yet which includes the saved games where it locked up. Thanks for the help.

Reply #8 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
New Update: Well, it looks like the lock up was only delayed until later. The same problem is reoccuring at a later point in the game. I'll send the saved game off with a description.

I also continue to have the same problems. I bought Dark Avatar, installed it, then installed the beta patch. My saved game still crashes at the same point.

I have SmartException installed, and it caught the crash, but when it tried to save the exception .zip file, an error message popped up and said that the appropriate directory could not be found. I searched for the file on my entire system, but I could not find it. I still cannot find any debug.err file, either. I am the only user of this computer, and I am logged in as administrator. Now I'm just stumped.

Update: I started a new game. This time, I was playing through the campaign of Dread Lords. I played for several hours, then received this same error.

The good news is that I finally found my debug.err file and smartexception logged a .zip file. I am sending them to the dev folks along with my game save now. For your interest, here is the debug.err file:

I'm not seeing the 'error flipping back buffer' messages typical of the nVidia-Vista issues that were occuring early on, but you should definitely update to the latest drivers on nVidia.com to rule that out. Note if you tried to update using Windows' own driver update it probably didn't see the new driver--you'll need to go directly to nVidia to get it. The one you have now is at least two versions behind the latest.

I am working on installing the latest nvidia driver, 165.01. But because I have a geforce go, I have to use a modded inf. Thus far, laptopvideo2go currently only hosts an inf for 100.30. I tried installing the 165.01 nvidia driver using the 100.30 inf, and the installation appears to have gone fine; but my driver still reports as 7.15.11.30 with date 12/14/2006. The nVidia control panel version is 1.5.100.24. So I can't tell if the installation actually faied or if the 100.30 inf is reporting the wrong version number and date. I have a support reqest posted on laptopvideo2go's forum, so hopefully I'll be able to make some progress on this and report back again soon.
