1.0 more crashes and a texture model error

from GalCiv3 Forums

Ok , i uninstalled, deleted ALL remaining GC3 files/dir's,  reinstalled and started new game and everything fine for first 73 turns.  I was in heaven! then hell.  4 crashes in next 2 turns.  First 3 were just while navigating around on map, 2 of these generated no dmp files. 

the next crash was different.  i got a windows pop up with the following error:

 CbeamElement::ValidateTexture FAILED: texture model asset BeamParticle.dds referenced by FXElement BeamParticle_Beam

 This crash generated the normal 2 dmp filis.

I have the same thing happened to me. Just bought the game and I can't get it to stop freezing after a few turns. After a reinstall I had smooth sailing for a while, and then the same behavior, after pushing it, I finally got this error message:

CbeamElement::ValidateTexture FAILED: texture model asset BeamLaser.dds referenced by FXElement BeamLaser_Beam
