So, I was thinking I would get into more 4X games after enjoying Sword of the Stars. SotS is a nice game, but I was looking for something different. So I bought the GalCivII Ultimate Edition off Impulse, and it won't play. I start it up, and all that happens is the game becomes a nice big black square on the upper-left corner of my screen. There's no audio, and it basically isn't doing anything. Its not loading, and its just sitting there looking all black and refusing to minimize or do anything. My computer can definitely handle it, however I'm wondering if the problem is my monitor uses a 16:10 aspect ratio, which GalCivII was not meant for. Any advice from anyone on these forums?
EDIT: Never mind, a quick search on the GalCivII forums solved my problems. I'm guessing it was a problem with my resolution or something similar because the solution was to manually set the game's resolution to my desktop resolution in its .ini file.
