Game won't start

from Stardock Forums

Hi I've had problems with GC3 since 2020, I even updated it with new official updates and DLCs but it still won't run. First whenever I verify it only verifies 1:2 and then reinstalls, but no change. I have reinstalled, removed logs, it is not an antivirus problem or driver issue.

When starting game it says: Apllication load error 3:0000065432

 

Any suggestions?

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

Here are some suggestions for dealing with that error. I recommend trying methods 1, 3, 4, and 5, before trying method 2.

The last person who had this problem resolved it by disabling Deepguard.

Thank you for your patience and patronage.

I can't run Galactic Civilizations III, on my computer with Windows 10. I start a new game and it runs through "Building Civilizations" than goes to "Setting Up Players" and it seems to hang up there. I've waited over 20 minutes for it to start, but it goes no further. The music plays in the background, but that is all I get.

Please make a separate thread, your problem is completely different from that of the thread starter.

Also, take a look at the Support FAQ if any of the suggestions help.

Correction on my last post. I am running Intel drivers, but not the newest. I said Lenova's drivers, but they are not graphics drivers.
