Somehow it just started working after I re installed it a few times. I did download the new .exe but I didn't need to use it. So I have the original downloaded DR version installed do I need to update the patch? I have ucce_2_0_UPG_DR.exe downloaded as well but I haven't installed it yet because I don't want to mess anything up since it seems to be working ok now. Thanks for the quick response by the way, there's not many games like battlecruiser and UC out there with that much depth and freedom, I been playing freeware for ages but I decide to buy UCCE to lend my support.
