GCII: Endless Universe (German) crash!

from GalCiv2 Forums

I just bought the German version of "Endless Universe" and when I want to start a new game on a random map in "Twilight of the Anor" the game always crashes. The campaign works fine and random maps with "Dark Avatar" also seem to work. I have Win XP home (Sp3), the latest version of DirectX and the latest version of my graphic card drivers installed.

Please post your debug.err file's contents. You should be able to find it in an appropriately named folder for the game under My Documents\My Games; just open it in notepad and copy/paste the contents here.

Sorry, I should have been clearer: you need to grab it following a crash without restarting the game, as the game overwrites the file each time you run it. This one shows a normal exit.

Try disabling mods. If that works, you probably have a bad mod file installed.

Reply #6 from GalCiv2 Forums Top

Yep, bad mod.

Okay, I have deselected mods and even delted everything in the mod folder of the game, but the game continued to crash. Then I tried to deselect some of the races and when I turned off the "minor races" I was finally able to start a game. So there must be some bug with one of the minor races. I will continue to play without the minor races for now, 7at least I can play the game now) but I really hope there is some other solution to it  (or maybe even a fix in a future patch), because without the minors the game is not the complete fun.

If you start with the minors in but mods off, what are the last few lines of the debug?

Hmm...there was a bug at one point with the translation code for minor races, but I fixed that and if they used the correct exe, it shouldn't have been an issue.  It could be something in the minor races' configs.  Can you please zip your Twilight\Data\German folder so that I can compare it to the last version I was testing with? Send it to carielf@stardock.com

Just poppin' in to report that I have exactly the same problem. Same situation, except that I'm running Vista.
