Game Crashin

October 2, 2011 2:27 PM from

I've read through some of the stickies, and checked all my drivers and settings. I randomly crash during play and have also been crashing when trying to load into a new game.

Crashing while setting up the AIs usually means one of your custom race files is corrupt. Clearing them out from My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor should do the trick. If you're having other issues mid-game, please post logs from those specific instances.

I have the ultimate edition of the game and i bought it some time ago, i couldnt remember why i didnt have such a great game installed on my PC, and its all comming back to me now, like Raptor SB ive been searching through some things on here and i too have checked my drivers and they all appear to be up to date and in working order sooo here is what happens

I start the game it runs normally, if i go into my menue options then try to "return to menue" error report ctd

ok so i avoid that and go into playing the game, im not a huge fan of the current races so i always build a custom one and everything works great i launch the game and it goes to the loading screen aaannnnd error repot ctd

i love this game to pieces and would love to get back into playing it but at this rate its a real mood killer, soo without further ado here is the debug i hope it says something and can be fixed (p.s. ive also uninstalled and reinstalled about 3 times now just to see) i see alot of no files found matching but i cant read these things so thanks in advance

Debug Message: UIBeginGameHelper: Mods are Enabled

Does the same thing happen with mods disabled? If you're crashing on loading mods in, it's likely one of the mod files is malformed or corrupt.

You should also update to the latest version of the game (2.03).

i just updated the game and it does the same thing, and i dont have any mods im using its just enabled because i was going to use a mod i got that didnt work anyway and everytime i go into the menu to change settings i have to exit the game completely because if i try to return to the main menu my game crashes, this was happening before i loaded mods as well, i thought some of the tricks may have helped and i went out and got the mod b4 testing if the game even ran, optamistic i guess, either way its uninstalled now

Killergold88, why the heck are you playing the game with a resolution of 1024 x 768, while your desktop resolution is set to 1600 x 900?

Playing the game at such a low res, and in a different aspect ratio, has been known to cause problems.

Also, what other programs are running? In your first debug you are using 334 MB of RAM when you start the game, and in the second 780 MB.
