cmdr Keeling Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 Is there a way to skip that opening "3000ad" screen w/o geting in the game first or going through dos. I have v2.00 and i patched it up to 2.09 and every time it starts it displays the 3000ad thing and crashes back to the desktop.thanx in advance.

GREG MILLER Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 I would be helpful if you could post your system specs, that way we can get to a speedy remedy.------------------ Commander Greg Miller GCV - Sark, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Fleet XO, Wing Leader, Tsunami Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk'Here cometh the storm!'

Supreme Cmdr Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 Add /n parameter to the bc3k.bat or bc3k3dfx.bat file to bypass the intro. Or, you can disable it from CONFIG.As for crashing to desktop. The FAQ shows you how to change the shortcut so that when it does crash, the DOS box remains on the screen with the appropriate message.If it is crashing on startup, these are the only possibilties - all of which are covered in the FAQ. Improper installation. Used longfilenames in install folder name. Video card. Using the wrong shortcut. eg, using BC3K3DFX instead of BC3K while not owning a Voodoo card. Having a video card that does not support VESA 2.0 specs -or- using Sci-Tech Display Doctor when your card does support VESA 2.0 specs. Not running the Sound Setup program after install - or selecting improper sound config settings therein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmdr Keeling Posted September 17, 2000 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 nevermind, i dont need help any more. I decided to uninstall and go through the whole process once again ( for the 10th time i think) and for some reason it all works fine now. Now one ask me how i did it, I dont know how.------------------ Cmdr Keeling UCV Constellation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
