After a little investigation, I realize that at present the 9600 has the best price/quality rate. There are better cards, but at veeeery expensive prices (at least for me...) Greetings

I have decided to purchase one Radeon 9600 (best quality/price rate). I hope it will be a good idea, you have interested me about it Strange, I didn't think about change my video card but... c'est la vie! Greetings

quote:Originally posted by LostInSpace: If you do change your video card, you would not be doing it for one game but hundreds that have a pixel shading(PS) option. Take for example Morrowind, the front end launch box has an option box that allows you to turn PS on or off. I've tried it off and always clicked it back on immediately. My cousin, who has a geforce 2 (no PS either), constantly runs over here to see what the games him and I play look like with Pixel Shading and he constantly says he's gotta upgrade his card. People who own the Geforce 4 MX should have done their research before purchasing that card because it's basically just a souped up Geforce 2. Not that I'm telling you to upgrade or anywhing. If you are happy with the GF4 MX that's great, but you don't know what you are missing without Pixel Shading (or other functions the GF4 MX doesn not support). Hello! The Geforce4 MX came with my new computer (two months ago only) and I didn't know anything about what you say. I┬┤m happy with it at present but if it┬┤s really like you say, and it could be much better, perhaps I'm on time to change it. Thanks

Hello! These are bad news. I have Geforce4 MX and don't think to change it only to play a single game. This is a great disguise! Many people here have Geforce4 MX, so you┬┤ll have many buyers lost (starting with ME). Perhaps there will be anything to do but change the Video card (forget it!)?? Greetings

Happy because you verified the problem and it will be solved (won't be...?), and I'm sad because somebody said 1.08Final would be the last patch... I think must not be Anyway, remember NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN Greetings

Well, I wrote it above, but it doesn't bother me to do it again, more clarified: 1- Go to TRAMIS SECTOR. 2- Send to your AE to OC4 and then program waypoints in TACOPS for SC4 to deploy the OC4 near a EMP/RAI city in TRAMIS (I really don't remember wich one) 3- When AE is in OC4 launch it, put tha AP until you make the planetfall and enjoy the landing (of course avoid be detected...) 4- When landed and deployed in the OC4, send the SC4 home and go to city. 5- Destroy the city 6- Once destroyed, Save the game 7- Restore the game 8- Try to make waypoints again to any shuttle to recover the OC4 (and your AE in) and... YOU CANNOT, there is no OC and DRONE orders in the waypoints menu! 9- Make instead waypoints with EXTRACT TEAM. At least, the shuttle will land and won't be flying around like an stupid fly, and you'll get inside the shuttle with your OC. Then, go to CC. 10- Once in bridge, try to recover any Mining drone (I had one in CENTRIS) making waypoints to a shuttle.... YOU CANNOT AGAIN!!!!! No DRONE or OC orders in the waypoints menu again, only EXTRACT TEAM, DEPLOY TEAM, DEPLOY CARGO, CARGOSWEEP, COLLECT CARGO, HALT AND WAIT, but NOT DEPLOY OCX, EXTRACT OC, DEPLOY DRONEX NOR EXTRACT DRONE. This is... WHY????????? Solution: restore the game BEFORE LANDING Good luck solving this problem

quote:Originally posted by Emmett.hendrick: Ok before I run off to test confirm this(especially as I think this problem has been resolved) I will ask the question SC usually posses first - Did you patch the game correctly? Make sure you run the patch from your BCM install directory. I am pretty sure this has been fixed but I have not done drone deployments/collections since I upgraded to 1.08.36(been having to much fun shooting stuff down and base assaults) Yes, I think it is well patched, because I patched it incorrectly before and the game simply didn't run. Now after patching correctly it works fine, except this stupid affair. I made other planetary assaults before patching without problems, but this one went very bad, and is annoying not to know why... Anyway thanks, Emmett Greetings

quote:Originally posted by Fermin: quote:Originally posted by SR-71: THE ORDERS ABOUT EXTRACTING/DEPLOY VEHICLES AND DRONES DON'T APPEAR I know exactly what you are talking about. I had the same exact thing happen to me in a game just before I upgraded to RC32. If you are running an older version, you might need to upgrade. I think at the time I was running RC28. The latest version is RC36, but I havn't upgraded to that version yet. Hope this helps Juan Hello Unfortunately, I'm running RC36, so I must think this is not corrected for this vesion. At leaast is not a problem that only happened to me, I hope more people to see it to be clarified, because it's very annoying, isn't it... Saludos

I don't know if I'm explaining myself correctly in english, I would want to know. Please, if there is a forum or reply about this I ask you to refer me to it. If simply it didn't happened to anybody before, please let me know because it happened to me and I'm confused, can happen to anybody else afterwards. Thanks

Hello everybody: This question is really strange to me, because I haven't found any explanation for this. I (my AE) landed with an ATV on Tramis, and destroyed an EMP/RAI city. When I wanted to send a shuttle to extrac my ATV (with an EXTRAC OC-4 order) I see that the orders to extrac/deploy vehicles and drones don't appear in the waypoint orders menu. I manage to extract me making an EXTRACT TEAM order (this order do appear) to the shuttle and going manually with my ATV to the shuttle, then embarking and going to CC. BUT after going to bridge on the CC, I go to CENTRIS with my CC to retrieve a mining drone and when I try to make waypoints for another shuttle AGAIN THE ORDERS ABOUT EXTRACTING/DEPLOY VEHICLES AND DRONES DON'T APPEAR in the menu, so I can't extract my drone! There is any reason for it? I don't think so. Perhaps something scaped to my attention? Thanks on advance

I put BCM aside and kept an eye on the VCF for fixes that addressed this problem and waited for the full release of 1.08. It was never a problem It was never reported nor acknowledged as such There is nothing wrong with it. Hence nothing to fix. It works as designed and is not subject to revision - at least not in BCM or BCMG. If you feel you so bad about it, don't cloak. Make your own difficulty level. Easy enough I think. No? I agree, I like that system to take out starstations. Also, the menace of irradiation from the cloak makes the attack interesting enough, don't change it!

I want BCG NOW!!!!!

THANKS SC, YOU DESERVED AN REMEMBER I'M IN DEBIT WITH YOU IT WAS A BAD PATCHING!! AND NOW IT┬┤S A REAL GOOD PATCHING... TO EVERYBODY: MAKE GOOD PATCHINGS!!! THIS WEEKEND NICE PLAYTESTING... YAHOOO!! THANKS AGAIN!!!

quote:Originally posted by Emmett.hendrick: ok just quickly (I'm running to lunch) the reason I asked about Direct X is I installed DX9 on my pc the other day and then BCM would not run. But when I checked DXDIAG - Direct draw was set as disabled so I re-enabled it and BCM worked fine - give that a check if you haven't already. Post more here if you still have problems Thanks,Emmett. I┬┤ll try all tonight, I HOPE it will run because of this or the other above. if don't...

quote:Originally posted by Emmett.hendrick: [What are you system specs? Check the Archives on how to add your specs to your profile maybe one of us may see a potential problem if we knew your specs. Question did you install a new version of Direct X recently? [/QB]When I installed RC33 I had DirectX8.1, but yesterday I installed DIrectX9 before patching to RC36, I thought it was a DX problem, but the results are the same... not runs any... I have the newest driver for my ATI Rage128pro card, installed some days ago. Windows 98, 384K RAM, PII266, etc etc, I think no problems, and the game ran well with DX8.1 and RC17 A question then, I'd read how to add my profile, but the PC that I use right now (and everyday to post my questions)is not the same I have installed BCM, that┬┤s not connected to the web. This is my job and I play home, so, perhaps I must copy or import any archive from home to here?? Thanks

O.K. This afternoon I'll try again, because yesterday I installed RC36 patch and, something new, the game didn't start running never. Some hard disk activity and... nothing . I remember I executed the patch directly from the CD where I copied it after downloading, so I can believe my patching was a VERY BAD patch as you said. I┬┤ll copy the patch to the BCM install directory before executing. If the game then runs O.K.... I promise to invite you a beer and a suculent meal if you visit Spain some day. Thanks

Thanks, this night I'll try the rc36 patch, but I'm not sure (or before I was sure) what's a bad patch. Do you mean a good/bad patching (fresh installation and inmediately patch as I did) or a corrupted patch (the patch was successfully installed, it said, so I don't know)? Thanks again

Hello everybody! Simply, my 1008rc32 patch crashes when starting a new game. With 1007 with 1008rc17 didn't happen, I played hours and hourswith them, but I take the game again, apply the patch (with a fresh installation) and... . Perhaps do you know why? Thank you very much on advance.

THANK YOU, PUGWASH!!! You have showed I wasn't dreaming and I wasn't drunk when I saw that and posted my question! SC, how you din't think about it before...?? I have another question then. Well, if the ATV needs to recharge, how to do it? Simply leaving it some time on the CC? Thanks to everybody (especially to Pugwash, of course)

Thanks, SC

Hello, I'm again. Excuse me if I'm bothering. At present I have my CD number, but in case I'd lose it, is there any archive in the PC (with the game installed of course) where appears this number, and not to have to ask for it to SC as other users had to do? Thanks a lot

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: OK, lemme see, which part of Anyway, it works fine here. I tried both 1.0.07 and 1.0.08 RC20 threw you off? I tried it It works as it should I didn't experience anything you pointed out above Now, if you can get someone else to reproduce it, fine. If not, this is not an issue I'm going to waste time on.O.k. then, forget it. This week when I have time to play I'll try to repeat it and to study more carefully. You're anything but soft but I understand you, no problem Greetings and thanks to everybody here.

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: Please stop refering to something as a bug until it has been confirmed as such. Anyway, it works fine here. I tried both 1.0.07 and 1.0.08 RC20. There is NO correlation between having no missiles and the gun's firing. Quite simply, you're not waiting for it to charge.Thanks for answering me. O.k., O.k... It isn't a bug. But if the gun doesn't recharge (really STARTS DISCHARGING VERY SLOWLY without firing) what happens then? Must I wait until reaches 0 (estimated 15 minutes) to start recharging (?) and then I would fire again ONE shot? I don't know if it's or it isn't a bug. I'm only reporting something that happened to me two days ago. I told you because it's rare, and perhaps there must be an explanation, or perhaps it's useful to other players or yourself. If not, no problem, I will NEVER NEVER refer to it again. But remember that IT HAPPENED , it is not my imagination! I have a witness, I wasn't playing alone, so...
