Yep, you guessed it....another C&C title. This one looks pretty sweet. Check out www.gamespot.com Screenshots are beautiful. [ 03-27-2002, 22:40: Message edited by: Bandus ]

Well I am in luck because as soon as my Mom is done with tax returns I'm upgrading to Win XP Professional. I would think/hope that would solve a good deal of my problems, yeah? Well, thanks a lot for your assistance SC and everyone else.

I gave that a shot and it still had no effect. Though a note of interest may be that without the patch installed it simply crashes right after it shows the company logo but when it's patched it crashes where I mentioned earlier. I'm going to try and drop a GeForce3 128 MB video card in my computer later on and see if maybe my video card simply can't handle it, even with all the video and sound options turned off....

ROFL

Resident Evil was excellent I thought. The jump kicking dog scene was kinda funny actually. Anyway, I remember several times thinking "these people are f**ked." That always makes a good movie and yes, the lasers were an awesome security system and I am actually planning on using that idea in a MUSH I play on.

I ehh, never had any of the problems you guys did. I was making great sniper kills with the .50 caliber rifle. You *do* have to hit vital spots though or else it won't do as much damage. The gun recoil is accurate because thats what guns do and I've never had that mess up a shot....weird.

I thought Blade 2 kinda sucked...period. The gore wasn't the problem it was just the story was kinda....predictable. Furthermore, the fight in which those two vampires brought Blade the truce looked like Celebrity Deathmatch at one point. Seriously, they looked like clay figures. As for the end confrontation, I thought I was watching the WWF there for a minute. I'm certain I saw that reaper not only perform a People's Elbow but I'm certain he was trying for a guillotine leg drop. Oh well. Maybe Blade 3 will be better.

Yep. Tried all of that. None of those things helped. The problem change with the 3D Sound off though. Instead of crashing in the game it crashed after it was done loading all the region scripts. I turned the 3D sound back on and it let me get in game and then crashed per the last post I made...

I'm going to try this again since now I may be in a better position to state my problem. I'm still having the game crash on me. One "test" I've been using is the following: 1. I got to TACOPS, OBSERVE Earth, load up a Bugnor, target, launch. Then I got back to SPACE and zoom in on the Bugnor. It's on course to Earth and then boom. The game CTDs. I've upgraded all the drivers for my sound card and my video card. I've checked and made all the bios settings from the FAQ. I've removed everything from the AGP slots on my MOB except my video card and my sound card and made sure nothing was sharing an IRQ with the video card. I've turned all the sounds off in game. I've tried restoring saved games, starting new ones. It still CTDs after a few moments. I'm truly not sure what to do SC. I'm not trying to be dumb, ignorant, or any of those other colorful things. I'm just not honestly not sure what to do. I'm asking....please try to help me.

Yes. I uninstalled and reinstalled then patched to the newest version of BCM. Here is where the bomb is gonna drop. I am using the Detonator drivers from the NVidia website. I've heard that those aren't so good but I have no idea where to get anything better.... If you'd actually READ the damn FAQ, you'd see links to video drivers there. So obviously, you have NOT read it. PERIOD. Yes, does it with a fresh game as well as a restored game. I was also just reading a post by the SC in which he mentioned something about installing Live!Ware 3.0 to fix a game crashing problem and I was thinking maybe that was the same problem I was having. I tried to get Live!Ware 3.0 but I cannot find it anywhere. Anyone know where I can get it? The last time I checked, there was a forum for sound issues. I mean, WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? DO YOU HAVE THIS SORBID PRECONCEIVED NOTION THAT **ANYONE** IS HERE TO BABYSIT YOU? [ 03-21-2002, 07:57: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

Heh. Whats up Tac? You and I gotta chat some time and catch up. Find out how many ranks I'm going down for being AWOL for so long, ya know? If you want to attempt to help me solve my problems with BCM check out the General Tech Problems, page 16. It's great. Basically though, BCM locks anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes after I restore a game. I think it's drivers too but I can't find updated drivers anywhere. The drivers I have I got off the NVIDIA and Creative websites. I plan on upgrading to Win XP in the next few days and I'm fairly confident it'll solve my problems.

I restore a game I've started and about anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes after I begin play it freezes up. It's done this when I was: A. Watching marines get teleported from the surface of Earth. B. Been in the tactical computer finalizing loadouts for my fighters. C. Very often when I OBSERVE Earth and it is trying to load the mission zone squares. I've done everything the FAQ has said and it didn't help at all. I've read the forums and I couldn't find a solution to the problem there either. That is my problem.

My apologies for the error in my system profile. The error has been corrected. I searched the FAQ yet again making sure I'd already made all the changes it had suggested and I had. It still doesn't solve the problem. I'm out of ideas and I really wish I could actually get a solution to this problem.

I read the FAQ and made the suggested changes and it didn't help. I searched the forums and tried to find a thread that had a problem exactly like mine or atleast close to it. I found a few and none of the suggested fixes helped. I getting a bit frusturated and I understand that it is very possibly something that is my fault. I also understand that it is pointless and a waste of time to post answers over and over again. I just want to enjoy my game.

:taps his mic: Is this thing on? Hello. I finally bought BCM. Having trouble getting it 100% functional but it's probably something I forgot to do. Who is still around that actually remembers me?

I'm not sure either, thanks for the help though SC. Now lets see if we can get this other problem licked.

That did the trick. I appreciate it very much. Anyone wanna tell me how to include my sys specs in my sig?

As always you were right SC....I did the patch thing wrong. I fixed it and ran the game and it ran beautifully...I shed a single tear watching the BC pull outta Galcom HQ.... I shut it down to go see my girlfriend (it was a hard choice to make) and I came back a few hours later. Fired it up, restored my game. It completes loading and shows me the bridge. The combat officer reports combat on Deck 1 and the game freezes. I restart and drop the Screen Bit Depth and Texture Bit Depth down to 16 and do another restore. This time it gets to the part after it is done loading all the area scripts and freezes without ever making it to the bridge. Suggestions? Useful comments? P.S. I'm trying to figure out how to had my sys specs to my sig as we speak. [ 03-19-2002, 01:24: Message edited by: Bandus ]

I just bought BCM yesterday and installed it. It worked fine except for the fact that occasionally objects wouldn't be displayed. I was a marine but I could only see my gun and my backpack, exc. I thought it was weird so I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and now I get the BC3000AD company logo like normal when I start then that window closes and nothing happens. The game failes to open. I've gone through all the troubleshooting sections I could find, I updated everything I could get my hands on, things were patched, updated....it was bloody. But it still does the same thing and I simply cannot figure it out. Suggestions? Comments? Insults? Wait, wait, had an epiphany. I read the BCMFATALERROR.LOG file to find I'm getting that Cannot load ENGLISH.LNG error you all were talking about earlier. I am searching for the link to DL the fix but it appears to be down (the one in the post anyway) can anyone post it....meanwhile I'll continue looking. For the record I'm running version 1.0.07 of BCM...I did the DX 8.1 updates and all that other good stuff as well. [ 03-18-2002, 13:57: Message edited by: Bandus ]

Harsh. :looks and notices he is still the only one in his wing: Speaking of harsh! resses a comm button and says, "Secretary, bring me some coffee!" After 25 minutes of nothing happening Bandus gets up and walks outside his office only to find his Secretary has been transferred to another wing. He shrugs and walks back into his office.:

Bandus, former? commander of Delta/Hammerhead Wing reporting in. Sorry for the extended absence. You could say I kinda lost my way for awhile. But I'm back in action.

1 ghz? I've heard of a need for speed before but this is ridiculous. Looks like I will be upgrading my computer sooner then I thought. ------------------ Commander Bandus GCV Defiant, Starbase Masada Wing Leader, Wraith Fleet/Hammerhead Wing "Universal Peace Through Deadly Force"

I thought the demo sucked personally. I mean, it was like playing Quake except with Star Trek technology. There was almost no strategy involved at all. The multiplayer was fun......for about 10 minutes. I wouldn't waste my money on the game itself. ------------------ Commander Bandus GCV Defiant, Starbase Masada Wing Leader, Wraith Fleet/Hammerhead Wing "Universal Peace Through Deadly Force"

I have checked out this game myself and it looks like an excellent game. The graphics are very much imrpoved over the original Homeworld. I think the idea of linking up units is a tad far fetched but I take what I can get. ------------------ Commander Bandus GCV Defiant, Starbase Masada Wing Leader, Wraith Fleet/Hammerhead Wing "Universal Peace Through Deadly Force"
