Stardock will be closed for Easter weekend starting on Friday, April 3rd and we will be returning on Tuesday, April 7th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time, but expect delays in responses during this time.
So I've been unable to host multiplayer match or even play on single player on my own due to the fact that every time I start the game, after sitting at the "Building map" screen for a few seconds, the game closes to the desktop with no error. I have been able to join other games just fine however. I've tried adjusting just about every possible setting to see if it was that, but that was a fruitless effort. From the 1/10th of a game I was able to play, I am in love with it... Please help me finish a game!
Clear out any ship designs you might have in %user%\My Docs\My Games\GalCiv3\designs.
When in MP don't use the ship designer as turns transition otherwise the game will likely crash and leave a broken ship design in your %user%\My Docs\My Games\GalCiv3\designs that will cause _all_ games to crash when you try to start them.
I'm having a similar issue myself.
When I start a new game of any sort, the game seems to hang on the "Building Map..." screen.
I don't have custom anything and I just uninstalled/reinstalled the game.
I have the same problem just bought the game and cannot play at all.
Never had to enter any codes so I am wondering about that.
but usually steam takes care of that??
sits at building map screen forever
