CTD immediately after load

from GalCiv3 Forums

I'm close to 5 hours into a game as Terrans.  I've come back and loaded the game to continue, and immediately after finishes loading, game closes and returns to desktop.

Does this happen each time you load that save?

Yes.  Yes it does.

Had a bug which forced me to close the game (somehow managed to move a ship as a popup for colonyship was coming up at the same time - could not populate colonyship, kept coming back up)

 

Anyway, tried to load the autosave, and immediately CTD.

This is now happening on every save that gets created.

I had this symptom.  As a workaround/diagnostic, support had me rename the GC3 folder in My Games,  I then ran the program and it rebuilt the folder.  Now, I can my play save game files without problem.  Never did hear what the source of the problem was, so there is no guarantee the workaround will also help you, but it is worth a try.

If you could, please see the support FAQ on how to gather some data, and then submit a ticket to support.  It would be appreciated.
