Well sadly IM going to throw in the towel. This game looks like it must be awesome to play. But I can’t get it to run on my PC. I have spent at least 10 hours of my time trying everything I have read here, and then some. It just does not like my PC. Congrats on the game. It looks to be one of the best open-ended space Sims I’ve ever read about. Good luck. Mitch.

I found where to register. Im doing it now.

I get the following error message from time to time. It accures right after I launch the game. BCM caused an invalid page fault in module at 0000:b00dc170. Registers: EAX=e6308000 CS=015f EIP=b00dc170 EFLGS=00010286 EBX=00000004 SS=0167 ESP=00dbe8f8 EBP=00db8912 ECX=00000946 DS=0167 ESI=e62f8900 FS=0157 EDX=00dbe8f0 ES=0167 EDI=e63011f7 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: Stack dump: 00000f59 00000357 0000fbbe 80784dc0 01671fef 80000000 892ce630 03570f90 00000946 00000004 b00dc170 0000015f e62ff000 2605896e 09460357 f0000000 I assume it has somthing to do with my sound card as it has EAX near the top. Other then that I have no idea what this is. I also CTD regularly. This is what I’ve done to try and get the game to run. 1. I Updated my video drivers to 22.80 2. I made sure I had the latest Sound drivers. I have an update tool for my sound card that checks for updates. It comes back with “No new updates available”. 3. I installed DX 8.1 from the Microsoft web site. At least 3 time now. 4. I downloaded and installed Media player 7.1 5. I down loaded and installed the latest mouseware drivers for my Logitech gaming mouse. 6. I installed the game (BCM). I have the same trouble if I run the 1.000, or the 1.001 w/navfile. 7. I then downloaded and installed the 1.002 beta patch. 8. I then go into the game without changing anything in the config menu. 9. I choose Terran/Trader/default start point/default ship. 10. After I logout, the game loads and IM treated to a view of my ship in space (cool as hell) I then find myself on the bridge. 11. I then go to the navcom computer and pick a planet nearby without leaving Earth Zone, then return to the bridge and set the ship to auto pilot. ZOOOOOOOOOOM I fly to the jumpgate, and pass through. At this point I get a message “Receiving data.” 12. Crash here! (CTD) 3 out of 4 times. 13. I tried adding –W at the end of the BCM.exe line of the desktop shortcut to run the game in a window. That time I made it about 2 min past the “receiving data” message before I CTD. This may have just been a coincidence. I have only played this game for 5 to 10 min at a time before I CTD. I know I’ll love this game! I have never put this much effort into getting a game to work. But this looks to be a special game deserving the effort. I hope I’ve given enough info here. One last thing…where do I go to register? I see posts where people say they had to enter the CD key. I have a CD key, but have not been prompted to enter it yet? Thanks in advance for the help. Mitch.
