Yah i get the same error, it crashes to desktop when i try to load the future is now. Also on instant action scenario IA0311 SF Marine Space Station Defense, i get a Fatal Error, "Error Opening FARSTAR/FARSTAR", i assume thats a missing model or something that didn't get installed for some reason. Also whenever my command craft in roam scenario (at least that I've tryed so far) gets destroyed it crashes to desktop instead of saying game over. Other than that this games great.
I have the newest update and directx 9.0c August that installed with the auto patch updater.
