For some reason I cannot get the shuttles to unload the ATV's. They unload the drones fine, but the ATV's don't unload. I also can't get DEMO 1 to work (starts to load then goes back to main Windows screen, even though DEMO 2 works)

That's interesting, because I got into a shuttle, landed on Farstar, deployed the ATV, commandeered it and drove it around for a bit.

I think what RobK meant was that he couldn't get the AI to deploy an ATV at a "Deploy Vehicle" waypoint in TacOps. I have that problem in EP2, too, but apparently, as SC said, that's not implemented in the demo.

My biggest tactical problem with the ATV is that though its much tougher looking than a humvie I can seem to find an busty 4 wheel drive chicks to pick up with the damn thing. I have an asortment of 4wD magazines here and they all clearly indicate that a sweet ATV will get you lots of chicks. I looked at the VCF and Documentation closely and nothing in there about disabling bimbo AI!?

Also I had the same problem with the ATV I have with the shuttle I made a beer run and no takers! Now if you dock at the station it clearly shows "Canned Goods" as a comodity so I picked up a few tons of that and some music CDs and headed dirtside, deployed the ATV and cruised the beaches but NO CHICKS.

Mmmm, there are several fixes for this problem. What kind of beer are you picking up? If it's Miller Lite or Coors, forget it, it will never work. You'd need some good strong Czech beer, like Budvar or Urquel Pilsner for this feature to implement. Also, if you read the Perversion Control File (PCF), you'll see that picking up chicks will probably not be in the final release, but may appear in a subsequent patch. You also didn't post your system specs, you'd need at least a 3 keg processor with at least 128 MB (Mega Beers) of RAM (Random Alcohol Mixtures) to run this game without it staggering and falling over.

Ok I went with MGD because these are just Marines, plus add a bit of Geuinese over a spoon a vola black n tan.
I saw that item in the PCF but ingnored it because like all good BCM players I really want the feature so the SC damn well better make it magicly apear
Now as for my system its a bit of a home built but here goes:

Im using great grandaddies still with 1.4 gigavat of throughput.
My beer bong has a 12 pack of onboard processing.
My beer goggles are installed with the latest drivers.
I've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarets, its night and Im wearing sunglasses!

Well as far as I can tell, you should be running it no problem. Make sure you're using the 'Beer talking v1.02' upgrade to use with those goggles. Oh, and have you tried the new Devastator 5.h1t drivers which enable the Blurred Vision texturing?

I found the problem! I was oveclocking my beer goggles with to much porno sensery input. Now I am able to get loaded just fine SC says theres lots to explore so Im searching for the home world of the Leather Goddeses of Pheobus.
One a side note a long time ago I talked to the SC about the possability of 'spacing' crew members that had less than satisfactory performance I don't see it on the too do list but I'm hoping he's saving it as a suprise along with a rear view mirror for the ship so I have someplace to hang the shrunken heads of my enemies from
