quote: I'm confused. Wouldn't BCM make you sleep less if you had it? Umm..... maybe you're right but i think i would feel better if i had the Shiny Box in my hands. And you Menchise, wouldn't you feel better if you had it right now?

It's OK

See the BCM system requirements.

Ok it's only nine days to BCM....... Oh, can't sleep well because of BCM. It's killing me, i need that game ASAP. I think it's the only cure.

I think any video card that has 16 or more MB will be ok. I am uising a SiS 630 right now with 32MB.

I myself like the Warmonger, the Firestorm carrier and the L-fighter. I also like the ATV. I would like to try every race, caste but i prefer Galcom, Commander. Now time to tell yours JJ.

Excellent!!! Very fun.

MOO umm... i downloaded it but can't get emm386 to work, dunno why but can't get it to work. Maybe you'll like this one: Armada 2250 (or 2225 don't remember) Deluxe. It's free and can be downloaded from the underdogs. Hope you like it. And remember it's and old and somewhat complex turn based strategy game so it'll get some time to get used to it.

OOps, sorry SC i forgot that was there...... However i just wanted to know the experience the Beta testers have had with their computers when playing BCM. Just forget it if you want. Sorry again SC.

I've to upgrade my sistem but that won't be until December. I don't want to wait for too long to play BCM so im going to buy it before. What i want to know if the game could at least run OK in my system. Windows Millenium PIII 750 MHZ 128 mbram (96 not shared) Sis 630 video card (32mb shared)... yes, i know this card sucks. I will upgrade to the following... well say get the something because this one is for my brother. Alienware Area 51: Intel p4 2.0 GHZ 384MB ram 75gb Hard disk NVIDIA GE FORCE 3 16X DVD rom drive Windows XP It's US$2395.00 but i can umm... my father can afford it. So will it run on my system? (i'm talking about the one i currently have)

Here is my list: a)The next Generation War Simulation b)Futuristic advanced strategic multi environment epic war simulation C)Total inmersion epic war simulation

Total Inmersion Epic War Simulation (TIEWS)

Futuristic Advanced Stratagic multi environment epic simulation.

quote: Sc's sig says "its almost ready" I say.. december? I think December is very far away. If BCM is almost finished then it may be out by the next two weeks or maybe less.... The SC is not gonna say anything more than small clues.

quote: Your conventional memory is more than enough. Like I said, its a video issue. Why you're even talking about memory, is beyond me. Sorry SC, i am going to get a new card. The detected chip was the SiS 6200/6300. I typed the number (59) in the .bat file but nuthin, the same story again. The line looks like this bc3000ad /d1 /n /v59. Now the problem is on my video card, and i am going to buy a new GeForce2 in the coming weeks. Then i will recover my shared ram and get away of that foolish SiS card. That's all. But i still don't understand why i can run all the other games i have with no problem (these include some old DOS games). Cmdr. Pedro Laracuente

null quote: Are you trying to run the software or 3DFX mode shortcut? Did it detect your video card? Go read the thread titled "Desparately need assistance" for issues on available free memory. Do you mean that i need at least 600k of memory? When i typed mem on a DOS window i got only 593K If that's it i will try to get more based on Wold replies.

quote: He can't do that from the commandline. The command needs to be entered in the BC3K.BAT file (executed by the BC3K shortcut) on the line which already contains the other options. I already know that. I just opened BC3K.bat with notepad and added the /N to the last line. I think that i saw something related to that in the FAQ. However i still have problems with that AWESOME black screen. Sincerely: Cmdr. Pedro Laracuente Windows 98 PIII at 700MHZ 128MB ram SiS 630 graphic card w/16 mb of shared memory. 20GB HD (8GB free)

quote: Try starting the game with a /N in the command line to disable the intro video and see if that helps. It disabled the intro movie and the INVALID COMMAND doesn't appear anymore, however everything else goes the same way. I keep ending with the amazing unoperable black screen.

quote: Anything important in the scrolling text maybe? Like things failing to load or something? Perhaps it goes quite quick. But perhaps there's also some info in it. Nope, nothing is failing to load or to work right except the opening movie when it quits (when the interceptors are flying in the asteroid field), at the start of the text in the DOS window something like this appears: INVALID COMMAND (and some numbers). Everything else works right until that shiny black unoperable black screen appears. I also tried to load the game in vesa mode but nothing different, only the same nice black screen. Cmdr.

quote: Did you run the sound setup? I forgot to mention it but the first thing i did was to run the sound setup and i had no problems there.

I just downloaded the free version of BC3000AD v2.09 and installed it to C:BC3000AD. I read the readme and the FAQ and i didn't find anything related to my problem. When i try to run it, the opening movie stops and then the DOS window appears. After it gets finished (when all the documentation appears) a black screen appears and i can't do nuthin. My pc doesn't respond to any keyboard command except ALT+CTRL+DELETE when pressed twice.
