Hi,
I just installed Galactic Civilizations II: Gold Edition yesterday and I keep crashing when I try to load the 3rd Dread Lords Campaign.
The Campaign menu has Campaign Status: Darkness Rising and when I click Continue Campaign the game crashes. If it makes any difference I'm running Dark Avatar.
Here is the debug.err:
