Crashes on start up

from GalCiv4 Forums

So I purchased and have been playing about a week with no crashes or issues. Today I exited the game to go out, I exited properly, main menu, then quit. The game I was playing wasn't modded, it was up to date, it wasn't anything my PC can't handle, not even close.

Now every time I try to launch the game it starts I see full screen graphic and then it crashes to desktop. I've verified files, I've reinstalled, tried turning antivirus on and off, tried administrator all the usual crap. What the hell? I now can't play at all seemingly at utter random.

The fix for this issue should now be live

Fix is up.

This was caused by adding new achievements to Steam and the game not having enough room for new achievements.  Required a game update. Boo! 

We actually got a negative review from this.  If anyone reading this hasn't reviewed GC4, we'd really appreciate it if you could leave a review.

Thanks!

I certainly will, I don't think I've ever even reviewed anything on Epic before. Fingers crossed it was the steam thing that broke the epic version too. But alas.... After a day of adulting first.
