GalForge crash on startup :(

from Sins 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...

- 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.
