Crash upon start

from GalCiv2 Forums

Starting TOA from impulse after all games were installed and downloaded. I had an issue earlier where after downloading TOA and impulse began to install it, an error message came up stating that there wasn't enough room to install ,(~247GB free). This resuted in re-downloading TOA about four times and rebooting until it worked.

 

The point at which it crashes is after the intro video is done. (Says it experienced an error and must shut down). I verified, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and to no avail. What can I do?

 

Edit: For more infomation, the other two galactic civ games work fine upon load.

Post your debug.err, located in \My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor\ (or thereabouts).

And check your resolution in your prefs.ini in the same directory (DisplayWidth & DisplayHeight under [Video]).
