I my honest opinion SC has created the most viable alternative universe (sim/action/rpg) the world has ever seen. The words are simple in sound but experience and I mean UC experience truly offers "Shock & Awe." IE: I was just putting around and decided to take a shuttle to the surface (no particular waypoint just the surface) when coming through re-entry I realized my speed was to high...my shuttle crashed. (At this point you are suppose to say "who cares" but the BRILLIANT thing about UC is you can care. I Immediately launched my second shuttle to the surface with AE(myself) found the landing tricky as well but was successful. I landed and got out...inspected the craft and decided to take it back to CC. Turns out there was damaged and I couldn't break orbit. I then switched to shuttle 2 and tractored shuttle 1 back to CC. The who experience was aided with TacOps...miles above and games controlling interface... That experience was just 15 mins of fun and I have seen all sorts of variety in this title thatI have never witnessed before. The funny this is I remember buying the first BC300AD and WANTING this game to exist. Now it does!!! DS here's to having a great imagination and thank you to you and your crew/crews working on this, it is wonderful. (PS - I'm running a PIII700mhz w/FX5200/win98se-perfectly...though I did have that sound skip problem but solved it by increasing my sound/hardware which was reduced for another game.)

Forget about this CTD, all I did was max my window from after creating a shortcut on my desktop, everything looks fine and its a beautiful environment. Right now I taking a science vessel and having an incredible journey through the star systems...just trying to make it to earth...LOL SC "you are right and I was WRONG" no sarcasm just the truth and your work here is not comparable to anything anyone has seen or will see (aside from your further endevors) in the future... so I say "Down with dumbing the control so that our retarded console cousins can have a port and Up with Battlecruiser forever" PS - When will there be mod ships like the "ARGO"/"Yamato" for BCM, I think they would fit right in here, maybe a little Gamelon, a little Comet Empire, you know...the good stuff. Great job and close this down thread DOWN. (PERIOD)

Driver and DirectX problem What could be the solution...I'm still seeing ctd's and I have removed ALL drivers from Nvidia and SoundBlaster Live...maybe if you could tell me how to window-BMC. I read that in an earlier post but couldn't figure out the editing process to get there.

Here's my error and I'm about to remove my drivers and start from scratch DDHELP caused an invalid page fault in module NVDD32.DLL at 0167:b00dd3cd. Registers: EAX=80c0c714 CS=0167 EIP=b00dd3cd EFLGS=00010202 EBX=fffffffe SS=016f ESP=00a4f8ac EBP=b0311610 ECX=ffffcb41 DS=016f ESI=f74a6f5a FS=2fdf EDX=f74a531c ES=016f EDI=fe4e17a7 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 8b 58 10 f6 c3 02 75 41 f7 d3 f6 c3 01 74 3a 8b Stack dump: 00000a00 00a4f910 ffffffff b0311610 b00dd690 00000a00 00a4f910 00000000 ffffffff b0311610 b0122449 00000000 00000a00 00a4f8f0 f74d3000 00400104 btw - [config] Effects=TRUE Music=TRUE SoundFXVolume=8 MusicVolume=5 Resolution=1024x768 ScreenBitDepth=32 TextureBitDepth=32 SpecularLighting=TRUE DynamicLighting=TRUE Shadows=TRUE MipMapping=TRUE SpaceBackground=32 SpaceBackgroundHR=TRUE HardwareTL=TRUE DynamicStarsFX=TRUE HyperspaceFX=TRUE HyperJumpFX=TRUE CloakFX=TRUE GLobalFX=TRUE NonPlayerFX=TRUE DefaultRollYaw=TRUE ContrailFX=PARTICLE WeatherFX=TRUE WaterFX=TRUE PlanetaryClouds=TRUE BridgeCommsChatter=TRUE FlightPathTrails=TRUE FlightDynamics=0 Throttle=0 PrimaryHatMode=1 Controller=0 BCFEFontName=arial BCFEFontSize=8 BCFEFontFlags=0 BCKFontName1=microgbe BCKFontName2=arial does any of this seem strange not to mention I had to change my settings ScreenBitDepth=32 TextureBitDepth=32 originally they read ScreenBitDepth=0 TextureBitDepth=0

What happens (after the install) is it allows me to enter the general menu and I can choose from there...I can even change resolutions so on and so forth but as soon as I make a selection for a game the environment window goes black with the loading information at the bottom of the screen. It scrolls quickly through everything until it say its finished loading and to wait then as soon as the 3D environment loads I go right to my desktop sometimes without an error other with. I have (2) 250 megs + (1)128 and the final tally for the PC comes at as 639 - I could say 628, but that's not what on my system. I have found DX8 to be a bugger with heavy sims such as BCM but, I found DX8.1 to be pretty supportive. I do realise that it may be a feature with Nvidia that needs to be turned off or maybe a previous driver or even just the way I load the startup of BMC... Everytime I get a fault error (not a CTD) I reinstall, repair whichever seem to be the best. (Happy Thanksgiving BTW) I'm looking for a simple solution, I know I'm looking in the wrong areas. Thanks for the help.

HHHEEEELLLPPPP!!!! BCM has not yet completely loaded without CTDs and its very frustrating. Nvida GF2 MX/400 64megs (21.83) DX8.1 Updated soundblaster live (#^%#&)? 639mgs of pc133RAM 4gigs of free harddrive space 56x CDROM 56k Modem (I know it means nothing) PIII 700 win98 SE (latest updates from Mircosoft) however you can help will be greatly appreciated!
