Gal Civ 3 Won't start and just crashes

Published on Saturday, March 4, 2017 By zzyzzyxx2 In Galactic Civilizations III

Is anyone else having any issues with Galactic Civilizations III getting it started? I have been playing the game for hundreds of hours on this laptop with only minor issues in the past. BUT now the game will NOT even start at all. All I get after clicking on icon is a screen popping up that states the game has crashed and wants some info. I have tried to get a hold of Stardock support, they have NOT responded to me yet and its been 3 days with no response. Also I have validated the files dozens of times, it usually states that 1 file is bad and will be reacquired. But It still wont load and a validating check will again say 1 file is bad. I NEED HELP!! I enjoy this stupid game too much to sit here and get aggravated each day and get nowhere...

Can anyone Help me .....
