I really don't know what to do. None of my last three save games will load. I've sent the smart exception data and the savegames to support@stardock. I've upgraded all of my system drivers and I've turned off as many video options as possible just to mitigate against it being a device driver problem. Nothing helps, or changes the contents of debug.err. GC2 keeps dying on the "Loading Planets" step. There's no obvious reference to a driver-related problem in debug.err and if you pop it up in the debugger the last three stack frames are in GalCiv2.exe
I know Brad said that crashes are unacceptable, so I am assuming the problem will be fixed if it turns out to be a non-video driver issue. But is there any way to get confirmation on a particular bug that is submitted? I've spent a long time on this game and I'm very reluctant to start another knowing that this might happen to me again.
