GalForge crash on startup :(

March 18, 2009 4:21:32 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I am only looking to make some solar systems but I can not get GalForge to start.  I get a shorp pause then an annoying window asking if I want to send microsoft my soul an error report.

I have come across one fix that told me do move some .dlls, but it reamains non-functioning.

 

Thank you for your time and good gaming to you.

are you directly opening the galaxy forge via clicking on the galaxy files or are you clicking on the program?

and I believe that you will to paste in galaxydefref, something like that into that folder before it work...

Hi,

Could you say a bit more please?

- I assume it's regarding GalaxyForge 3 ?

- What is your operating system, version, sp ?

- Which version of the game ?

Cheers

I'm not sure which version of .NET Framework is required for GF3 to work, but make sure that you have the latest service packs for .NET Framework 2.0 & 3.5 installed.

I see that GF3 was built on 2008 version of Visual Studio (probably managed C++), therefore it'd be safe to assume that .NET Framework 3.5 is required.
