Black screen of Death

from GalCiv2 Forums
Pentium 4 2.8G
Nvidia Gforce video card with 32mb Ram
40G hard drive
Windows XP

Installed the Game and worked at first.
Went into Options, and turned up anti aliasing, and has not worked since.
When i start the game it goes to the blackscreen, and doesnt come out. won't even Crash back to Desktop.
I uninstalled the game, and installed it again, and the problem still persists.

Hey guys!

Elerian1:  Yeah, it's good to post your specs, but even better, if you want to go into your GalCiv2 directory and find the "Debug.err" file and send that to [email protected] with a description of the problem, that'd be awesome.

If your game ran w/o AntiAliasing, just go into the GalCv2/Data directory, open the "Prefs.ini" file, and set the "Multisample" value to  equil "0" (ex. If you changed it to 4x AA, it'll look like "Multisample=4").

Hope this helps!
