I found where the corruption was coming in. If I use the ctrl+alt+s key combination then the next time I launch shuttles there is a crash. If I use the command system menu there is no crash. I have tried it 6 differnt times with the same results. You may want to check the code for that key combination.

Ok this is what I do. 1 launch from station 2 set waypoint in tacops for cc 3 target planet for planetfall 4 put marines on shuttles 1 per shuttle 5 set drone deploy waypoints in tacops 6 when marines are in shuttles launch shuttles, I generally use the command craft all shuttles launch. 7 after shuttles have returned set extract waypoints in tacops 8 wait for several hours, generally 3 to 3.5 hours 9 launch shuttles 10 when the first shuttle gets over drone and starts landing is when crash to desktop happens. I have just ran a program called Pcdoctor oncall and it showed several problems within my registry and whithin device drivers. I have used it to repair those errors and tried the game. So far it is working fine the game has been running almost an hour and no problems yet. I hope this has fixed the problem. I will report back with more information later.

It happens on both versions. I have norton internet security and let it check all files before I disable it to play BCMG. The only thing I can think of is a bad cd. I ordered it from Dreamcatcher. I have checked drive it is good no problems with western digital diagnostics.

Problem Is still there. I will defrag again and check again.

I found scandisk on my system recovery disks and ran that. It says no problems with drive. Apparently the problem is somewhere else if scandisk is working properly. I have just resetup my system so will reinstall game and see if problem recurrs.

It is still crashing. Does anyone know of a free or cheap utility to check hard drives for windowsxp? Chkdsk does not seem to fix the problem. Thanks for any help.

I am currently defraging my drive after I used the Chkdsk program in windowxp. I will let you know if it fixed the problem. I'm hoping that it did. I apparently did have bad sectors because I had to put windows back on because programs stopped responding. I will uninstall and reinstall then try the game for extended time and let you know. Thanks

Does pcdocter for windows check for bad sectors? I have a copy of it on my computer will check and see if it does. Thanks again

I've detailed the pilots, engineers have been assigned to them, and, just in case the first four need to be out the door, I've even sent them off. I just can't get them to get to 'ready' status. I'm using the co-pilots from FC's 1-4, and the ship status has always been 'ready'. Thanks Are they in the copilot seat or pilot seat? See I think Copilots cann't fly from thier seat.

Do you know the best way to check that on xp? Like a utility or something? Thanks

Update it didn't fix the problem. After about 3 and a half hours the problem has returned. I've defraged and I have the newest drivers available for sound and video. Any hints or tips to correct this problem would be apprieciated. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help, the uninstall reinstall fixed the problem. Again thanks alot now I can do something when I can upgrade my craft.

Ok will try the uninstall reinstall. Thanks for the response. I did check the search function and did not find anything that would help before I posted. CWRM Cadet GalcomHQ

I have tried to get around this and have failed sofar. When I send shuttles to recover filled drones the game crashes to desktop. It happens with autopilot or me piloting. The first shuttle to get over a drone and start landing game crash. Is this a bug under investigation? I am running BCMG.

Are any of the wild, sea life dangerous? IE do you have to watch out for them as well as enemy marines and vehicles? CWRM Cadet GalcomHQ

My mistake it was in manual revisions page 103. Not the VCF. I went back and looked. But is this working in the 1.00.01 patch? CWRM Cadet GALCOMHQ

It was in the BCMG VCF for the 1.00.01 update. I may have read it wrong it it may have been something you were working on. It said that you can take vehicles but not fighters. CWRM Cadet GALCOMHQ

According to VCF you can now take your vehicle through a DJP. How? I get the vehicle close to the DJP faceing it and push the slash key to activate it. The only thing that happens is the target is switched to the nearest carriar. In this case a naval carriar. Can anyone help me on this? thanks! PS I am useing BCMG version 1.00.01 Cadet CWRM GalcomHQ

Yeah maybe SC inspired B5? Think about it, some of those characters look alot like Gams. CWRM Cadet Galcom

How does a person join a fleet? I s it invitation only or can a person join just by asking? And if so who does a person ask? CWRM Cadet Galcomm
