Lately I seem to be having a problem with Stardock games. In every game thus far, I can play for anywhere between 15min and 5 hours before the screen goes black and then flickers on and off as it tries to reset the display drivers.
I can do one of two things. ctrl+alt+del and force quit the program where minor things like internet and the like are useable but if I try starting the game again, it instantly goes to the black on/off problem. The second option is to restart the system. Restarting will allow me to re-open my game and play until an undetermined amount of time.
Games affected as of now, Galactic civilizations II: dread lords and twilight of the arnor, Sins of a solar empire, and Demigod. Demigod seems to crash the fastest of them all as I havent been able to play for more than 20min at a time. This doesn't happen with any other game, even graphically intensive ones such as Supreme commander: FA. '
