Twilight of the Arnor constantly CTDs! Help! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Twilight of the Arnor constantly CTD's. We're talking every 3-4 turns, if I'm lucky. I have 2GB of physical RAM, 6GB of virtual RAM, new video drivers, updated Windows Vista, etc. This is ridiculous and completely unplayable. Here's my debug.err.

Kryo, the game exits normally because after waiting for 10 minutes, I press alt-f4. When I reload the game, the turn button gets "lost" at exactly the same moment in the game (but the entire game freezes in conjuction - I can no longer pan, move, etc.)

Same probably here... Also, the game seems to freeze occasionally when playing the normal campaign game. After I click on turn, nothing happens, and I can no longer move. This has happened 3/3 times I have tried to play. When I load my save game, the game freezes at exactly the same moment.

Well the game is advertised as being compatible for Windows Vista. If this is not in fact the case due to a sound modeling problem in Windows Vista, then a patch should be put out to address the issue.

I don't have any option to change settings in dxdiag. Perhaps the version of dxdiag in Vista is different? From doing a search it seems Vista has disabled hardware acceleration altogether. There is a lot of complaint about Creative sound drivers not working in Vista, distorted game sound, etc. So developers, can we put out a patch for us Vista folks please or should I return the game?

Well for some reason the driver information displayed is incorrect. I am using version 4.15.0.50 dated 3/9/2007 provided by Conexant and verified by Microsoft. Please help, this seems like an awesome game but if the problem cannot be resolved I will need to return the software.

To narrow down the problem, I am not hearing static on the cutscreens.

Yes. I downloaded new drivers today dated 3/14/2007 to no effect.

Incidentally, this is happening for all audio (speech, music and event music) in Gal Civ when a screen is open (not at the main menu or during normal gameplay except when a screen pops up). Also, it's a not a problem with my laptop Altec Lansing speakers since I tried my external speakers as well. Def. a software/driver problem.

STATIC SOUND: HELP! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, I'm running vista with the most current drivers and current game version. I am having a problem with the sound. When I initially open the game to the main screen, the music plays normally, but as soon as I open a screen (i.e. new game, tutorials, etc.), the sound becomes "staticky". I am using Conexant HD Audio drivers for my laptop sound. I have had no problems with any other games/audio other than Gal. Civ. Please help, this is maddening!
