Graphics problem

Hello,

I have a problem running galactic civilizations 2 twilight of arnor on my laptop. Its a new laptop dual core running windows XP.

The game starts ok the movies play and get into a game ok. But the planet menu where the icons for planetary improvements appear is black. Also the bar at the bottom of the main view has a black rectangle . It appears that the graphics layer isnt being rendered properly :( . Id really like to play it on the laptop, Please help :grin:

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem. The location you'll find the debug.err in varies depending on which game you're playing:

Dread Lords: My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2
Dark Avatar: My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar
Twilight of the Arnor: My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor

Older versions may store the debug directly in the location the game is installed at.

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug will be erased and recreated for the new session.

Though you only copied the first page of the debug (there's more than that if you scroll down), it does show that you're running an old version. If you used SDC to download the game, try verifying/updating it using Impulse (SDC has been discontinued; updates 2.0 and beyond are only on Impulse). In case there's something damaged in the dxpacks that should sort it. If it does not, please take a screenshot so we can get a better look at what's going on.

In that case, still give Impulse a shot to update and confirm that everything is installed correctly.
