[1.7 Beta] Game goes to black screen

from GalCiv3 Forums

This just started with 1.7 Beta.  Game runs fine for about 30-50 turns and then the screen goes black.  Game is still running, I can hear sound and Task Manager says game is running, but video never comes back.  I have to kill game in Task Manager.  Never saw this with 1.62.

Insane map size, all Major & minor races activated.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti /w up-to-date driver - 364.51, screen resolution = 1920x1080

Acer Predator G3610 w/ Intel i7-2600CPU @ 3.4GHz w/16GB memory

OS - Win7 64bit

I would send in a ticket.

First thought is 1.7 and your NIVADA driver have some issues to work out.

Don't think it's a Win7 conflict.  Didn't happen with 1.62 and doesn't happen any other time.

Can you submit a ticket (https://esupport.stardock.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit) with the save game attached so we can take a look? Thank you.

The game stopped doing it.  I tried loading an old save & it didn't happen with that game either.  Guess we'll just chalk it up to Gremlins  }:)  

If it happens again I'll be sure to submit a ticket using the link you provided.

Did it stop happening after getting optin #2?

No, that would be too logical :D
