installed game on new computer and crashing on startup

Game won't run. Keeps crashing. Hopefully we won't get any posts here, but if we do, we'll try to help you out. You can also post any bugs that you find here. IMPORTANT: Don't post mod related problems here!

If I remember right, your original activation code serves as your registration number to access a new download through Matrix. If you haven't done so already register your code with Matrix support and that will make the game available through a new download when you're signed in. Hope this works out, regardless, please let us know the outcome.

Yes. I have my original activation code. The download I have is from June 2013 and it updates version 1.3. I don't have 1.3 download. Matrix does not show SOW Gettysburg on their website.

Matrix does not show SOW Gettysburg on their website but makes GB downloads available to folks who purchased the games previously. That includes those purchased before Matrix took over. So, you should be able to have access to a GB download once you register your game with Matrix support. Whether you had to register your game during the time when Matrix was the publisher I don't know. Here's hoping there wasn't a time line.
