I've thought about trying BC again...

... but I don't want to have to print out the manual. Did a manual ever come out? I heard it was "in the works" for a long time.

Nope, as far as I know, (correct me if I'm wrong, SC) no manual came out. Best thing to do is what I did. Just bite the bullet and print it out! Put it in a 3-ring binder and your are set. That way when you print the addendums on the download page here at the site, you can just add them in with ease. There is a lot of really good information in the manual that will help to make playing BC a pleasant experience and it's so much easier to refer to a hardcopy than reading it with Acrobat.

That seems kind of cheap, dont you think? Oh well.

Oh, another thing- my new machine has an Nvidia card in it- am I just screwed? Or has there been a patch to fix the incompatibility?

To my knowledge BC3K will run with the card, just you won't be able to run the 3DFX mode. As to the manual, the european 2.08 release has the printed manual and if you really don't want to print it, I think that you can buy the printed manual off of the store section of the site.

It depends on where you are. If you buy BC3K v2.0x outside of the US, it comes with the full 142 page printed manual. In the North America/Canada, it comes with a 40 page guide and the rest of the manuals are online in Acrobat format.

The printed manual is no longer available for sale in the store area.

BC3K is compatible will all graphics card. However, it has been reported that it has problems with Voodoo5 boards. No surprise there. It works on mine but not on Gallion's (I think) and am too busy with BCM to sort it out.
