Have you e-mailed the savegame to CariElf?

Nope, he hasn't asked for it yet.

CariElf is always interested in getting savegames that lead to reproducable CTDs. You can contact her here carielf@stardock.com Email
Don't forget to give in the message some information about the version you are using ... A copy from your posts in this thread (stating your tests and the smartexception report) will surely help her too.

There is a crash in 1.22 and 1.52 caused by trade routes which I've fixed.  I think that we're going to put up another update this afternoon unless we decide to give it another day for people to report bugs.

i think i'm having the same problem, i just updated to 1.22 and it crashes the next turn, when the UP is supposed to come up. but it came up before without a problem, so I don't know.

Greetings,

Since the latest update to 1.22, I have not been able to play a game to completion. Its now crashing to the desktop. Is there anything I can do besides waiting for a fix to cure this?

Thanks.

Playing vanilla AP 1.52, I have a problem with reproducable CTDs: When I wipe out an alien civ, sometimes the game keeps crashing in the same month within 1 or 2 years later. It seems to be linked to the trade routes of the conquered planets - I could play on after erasing all trade routes (short trade embargo to everyone). Kind of a high prize on maso, but at least I could finish the game.
I'm sorry the information is not more specific, but it doesn't always crash after an annexation, and I never had any problems with reproducable CTDs with any of the earlier patches. I could preserve and email a saved game the next time it happens, if desired.

I stumbled across the latest minipatch on SDCentral (1.52.011) and tried it: I was able to finish a large map without problems. The issue seems to be completely solved now!

What is the OS associated with your version of Galciv?


                          
#64  by Senator CariElf - 12/7/2004 6:08:20 PM

Progamer88, you could e-mail support to see if we still have your information in the database and get your serial that way.

The operating system. Are you using windows to run Galciv?

I can't get the GalCiv demo sound to work at all on my laptop. I have tried all the suggestions (new drivers, bink, etc). For comparison I tried it on a desktop and the sound works well, but the laptop is a complete no-go. Interestingly, when playing movies with the Bink player, sound is fine, and when playing MP3s with Media Player they are normal... but in-game, on the laptop, the sound does not work at all, whether it's the bink movie cutscenes or the button-pressing audio.

Any other suggestions?

When I play a saved game it crashes back to Windows after awhile. There seems to be no set time it will crash, nor any particular event. It did it with the original and the upgrade added. If I don't save, the game keeps playing on and on until I stop without a crash. I have tried the things listed.

I'm running it on a Dell Dimension 8250 3.06Ghz W/HT running Windows XP SP2. 512 MB Ram, 256MB NVidia 6800 video card. Soudblaster Live sound card.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Lately I've noticed that GalCiv has a tendency to crash after a few hours of play. I can reload the auto-save and continue normally, though. It's not tied to any obvious event that I can see, and it doesn't matter if it's loaded from a savegame or "fresh." I'm not extreemly bothered by it. It does let me know when I've been playing for long enough sometimes. I just thought someone at Stardock might like to know. Is there anything I can do to help track down the bug?
