Crash To Desktop

I just re-installed the Ultimate Edition.

I was not asked for my registration code. There is no Launcher in the game folder. There are no icons on the desktop. I was asked to reboot the system, though.

If I run GC2 (Dread Lords) or Dark Avatar using the EXE files and start a new game, then everything seems to be working fine.

If I run Twilight of the Arnor and start a new game, it will work until it gets to the "creating galaxy" screen at which point it crashes to desktop (black screen).

If I run TOTA and load a saved game, then it seems to work.

I cannot start a new game in TOTA.

Notes:

• I purchased this game from Stardock
• This is the filename: GalCiv2_UltimateEdition_2.20.exe
• The file date is: 10/13/2016

System:

• Windows 10 v1809/64-bit/32GB RAM/FX-8350 AMD CPU
• RX580 GPU
• All chipset and GPU drivers are up-to-date

TIA,

Richard

UPDATE: 1/28/2019

• I uninstalled the Ultimate Edition in its entirety and downloaded the whole file once again from Stardock
• I also removed all references in the Windows Registry
• I re-installed the entire game and now everything seems to be working

I still wasn't asked for a license code, though. There still is no Launcher and I had to create my own shortcuts to the three games. No big deal, but I do think it odd.

Thanks,

Richard
