I have a 8GB RAM.
AMD RADEON R9 270X Graphic Card

Have you tried without the original gametext.txt?

No, the problem no is the gametext.txt in spanish...

I cant play same that other post with name "net Crash" and he is German i think...

Hello, i upload a txt.

The diference is that pirates enable: crash in 3/4 min.

Pirates disable: crash in 9/10 min.

And crashdump.txt i see changes...

Is Steam overlay enabled?

I dont understand you.

I have Steam and in the Steam i have the game... i press PLAY. What mean overlay?

When i press shit + tab i have STEAM open in the game, is it?

How to disable the Steam Overlay fro a specific game:

1. Open your Steam application
2. Click on Library > Games
3. Right-click Distant Worlds: Universe, click on "Properties" and uncheck "Enable Steam Community In-Game" in the "General" tab.

Hi FJSA

The error message indicates a problem with your GameText.txt file.

Specifically there is a problem with one of the following entries: Automation Raid Independent Colony or Automation Raid Colony

Compare the above entries carefully with the English version and be sure to include the proper argument expressions (curly braces with numbers in them like this: {0}). You must have the correct numbers in each expression, and there should not be gaps in the number sequences.

If you are unsure how to check this, you could just copy the English version for the above two lines.

Thanks
Elliot
