Some explanation. I get the event that the Dread Lords have arrived (woe upon me etc). I click the event away, the game goes to the gaalxy screen and then crashes. This happened twice.

Reply #2 from GalCiv2 Forums Top

This has been a fairly common report. Since it's a random event there's not a lot that can be done to reproduce it, but I believe it should already be on the list of things to fix for the next update.

I have been running version 2.00.028 of ToA and have been seeing this crash.  Disappointing too, since it occured early enough in my current game that the Dread Lords could actually be scary!  ;)

I'm installing version 2.02.030 right now, but looking at the change log for 2.01 and 2.02 I didn't see any reference to this bug.

Reply #5 from GalCiv2 Forums Top

The bug still appears to be present in the latest build.  I experienced it again while running 2.02.030.

Reply #6 from Stardock Forums Top

i would like to confirm!

 

it happened to me just now!  ack!  i was like 20 turns away from winning a tech victory and playing "keep away" as another civ was headed toward an ascension victory (albeit in 940 turns)...

 

and then all of a sudden... DREAD LORDS!  ooooooo... what's this?  i thought as i clicked on done.

 

then crash to desktop.

 

i thought maybe that's how bad-ass they were.  but a search on google brought me here.

 

so what's supposed to happen?  a crapload of pirate likes come screaming into the game?

 

anyhoo, was fun and i probably woulda won the galaxy anyway.
