I just downloaded the latest patch and when I click new game or try to restore a game. BCM just seems to lock up and do nothing.Make sure that you have applied the patch properly and that there are NO files in the SAVE folder after patching. If there are ANY files in that folder, it means that the patch was NOT executed from the BCM install folder...contrary to patching instructions.
Guest Phantom3253 Posted January 6, 2002 Report Posted January 6, 2002 Thanks SC yeah there were files in the save folder.
Mythandril Posted January 6, 2002 Report Posted January 6, 2002 Hi,Just upgraded BCM version to 1.0.04 using the update patch from 1.0.04rc1 and verified that there were no files left in the save folder.Started a new roam scenario with the default settings, and sent one marine to each shuttle(as I do whenever I start a new roam). Once the marines have reached the shuttles, tried to launch the shuttle from the RHS menu by clicking on the green shuttle number and pressing launch.The shuttle won't launch, and the icon for the Flight Officer comes up (but with no spoken sound) or text. I try all four shuttles and the same thing occurs. If I click onthe blue bar at the top which summarizes the last com messages appear, there will be a blank line where the text would be.(e.g. shuttle launched, etc.)I can launch shuttles if I select the CC from the RHS menu, select shuttles, select one of the 4 shuttles, and give it, for example a fly to -->earth order. Obviously, if this cannot be reproduced by anyone, I will do a reinstall of the game and apply the full 1.0.04 Patch.To conclude, I did, as always execute the patch from with the BCM directory.I apologize in advance if I have wasted your time.Cheers, Myth

Gavor Posted January 7, 2002 Report Posted January 7, 2002 Hi,I received BCM last week after returning from holiday and straight away tried to install and play. The install went fine but the game hangs or CTD either at the end of loading(when it says, loading complete standby) or seconds after displaying the bridge.I have the latest patch as well as the latest drivers for sound, video, motherboard, latest BIOS for motherboard etc. I've read the troubleshooting document twice and done everything I thought was relevant to my problem. I've trawled the forums looking for answers and followed up on some possibles. Nothing seems to work.The only problem that I'm not 100% sure is fixed is with SB Live and VIA chipset, of which I have both. Having looked into this I found that Epox(my mobo manufacturer) was the first to release a new BIOS to address this problem. I've upgraded to the newest BIOS, so as far as I'm concerned this problem should now be fixed. Please correct me if i'm wrong, I don't have the money right now to shell out for a new sound card and I don't think the missus would let me anyway .Any suggestions accepted, I'm very proficient with PC's and troubleshooting game problems so be as technical as you like.Thanks in advance,Gavor[ 01-07-2002: Message edited by: Gavor ]

me Posted January 8, 2002 Report Posted January 8, 2002 It shouldn't be a problem provided the user you are logged in as has the appropriate permissions to the Program directory.

I recently wiped this HDD I`m using now from Win ME (Fat32), and put Win XP on it (NTFS). The game ran on both file systems fine (as stated on the box). GL.
Serrin Posted January 8, 2002 Report Posted January 8, 2002 What's the screenshot key? Some friends of mine are accusing me of exaggerating the scale of the game.

Gavor Posted January 9, 2002 Report Posted January 9, 2002 Hi all,Any ideas yet on what might be wrong with my setup? (see above post)Cheers, G
Gordon Posted January 9, 2002 Report Posted January 9, 2002 Hey Gavor, The specs you posted above are vague, more information is needed. What specific driver versions, do you have DirectX 8.1 installed and so on. The more info you provide the easier it is to determine the problem. See ShoHashi's post above for a link to learn how to add your specifications to your sig.
Gavor Posted January 9, 2002 Report Posted January 9, 2002 Ok, I forgot to write down my CD key and im at work so i just browsed through the different profile ID's until I found mine. Please click below!I'm not using the 23.11 video drivers anymore because I heard they are buggy. I rolled back to a previous version. 12.50 I think.[ 01-08-2002: Message edited by: Gavor ]
Emmett.hendrick Posted January 9, 2002 Report Posted January 9, 2002 Gavnor,in regards to your problem it may be worth your while to check the link that Valmorgan posted above quote: This forum really helped me, check it out: Helpfull Via support forum as it deals with the VIA chipset other than that what version of media player you have installed(you need 7.1 at least I believe)hope this helps and I haven't lead you down the garden path any.
Thor Dazen Posted January 9, 2002 Report Posted January 9, 2002 If you don't mind me asking SC, what video card are you running in your XP system?

I rolled back to a previous version. 12.50 I think. Try the 2280 drivers. They are the most stable so far. At least for me.You should also go to that VIA forum thread posted and find out how to run the VIA drivers (assuming your board is VIA chipset based).In fact, read this thread while you're at it.[ 01-09-2002: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

One has a Radeon 8500 and the other a GF3 (legacy)I am using the 2280 drivers on that GF3, but am using the 2311 drivers on a GF2 GTS (only so that I can tell the difference in how the 2311 suck)
antaren4279 Posted January 9, 2002 Report Posted January 9, 2002 Could someone please email me the 2280 detonator drivers, or give me a link? I've looked everywhere, but all I find are 2311 Det 4 or the 1570 msql certified Det 3.[ 01-09-2002: Message edited by: antaren4279 ]
Gordon Posted January 9, 2002 Report Posted January 9, 2002 Hi Antaren, I have the 2280 drivers give me your email address and I'll send it to you. If I find a site that still has them I'll post the link here.[ 01-09-2002: Message edited by: Gordon ]
