The original post was right on!  As I type this,  (on my other cumputer)  The game crashed to desktop, and now the Dynacrap will not recognize my account so I can relogin, and if I try to open a new one it will not connect to that server either.

If you really think this game is not a nightmare and really belive it is a a good solid game for the money, then your just plain ignorant!!!


Oh yea and before you all think I called you all stupid look up the word ignorant.

Ps if you needed to look up the word ignorant your stupid.

Ignorant is not knowing the difference between "your" and the contraction "you're" for your are.

I have performed a thorough analysis of your CTD problem and after conferring with other experts in the field we have come to a consensus about your difficulties. We conclude that the internet Gods think your jerky attitude should be punished. Until you change your attitude you will continue to CTD. My collaborators and I hope this constant crash-to-desktop collocation of your face with your keyboard does not leave any lasting damage to either your mental stability or physical appearence.

   Ah when we are miffed and can not think up better ways to attack, then we resort to personal attacks on grammer and spelling....  Your superior intelligence and wit, have once again won the day for you.

   Now I have seen the way of my folley and will be nice so Talderns game work better.  Why didn't you just say so from the start.   Taldren should put this in the manuals.

It should be in the technical help section:

1. If you have any problem with our game just be nice, and it will soon run smoothly without error!  Thanks your for your money!

honestly, I didn't read through all the posts (though I took a long look to read the blue screen of death  ) and on the original topic, my version is un patched,,, no patch at all, and i've had no problems to speak of, except for two crashes, one caused by MY editing of the shiplist, and the other during the klingon mission wit hthe rakellian freighters,,, but I've got around both. I'd have to say SFC3 is a pretty good friggen game, and the only thing I didn't like, was the loss of Missles, and some of the races. and ya know, I still believe, if you tried hard enough you could put missles back in,,,, i've seen alot of stufff in the strings and stufff,,, just a thought.

can't remember much of my first computer,,,, except it had a 6 meg hard drive,,, and I played Wolfenstein 3D, and Doom on it,,, and a little game called Syndicate,,, anyone else heard of that?

SFC3 is a game with a very good concept and a extremely poor implementation.

I sincerely hope that we WILL get this elusive patch and that it will fix most of the NUMEROUS problems and omissions and most of all that they address the SINGLE PLAYER campaing mode issues as well and not just focus on the multiplayer usability.

The weapons are hard coded unfortunately so there is NO WAY of geting back the diversity that SFC 2 had unless Taldren or someone with access to the source does it.

This is my first post and it may get me banned, actually I expect it.  But if one person reads this, then I'll be happy.  Please remember that this is just an OPINION, but if you feel the need to censor, then do your worst, mods!  Just remember that I bought this game, played it, and loved it!  But the bugs kill it!  Really, I DO love this game, and I wish that it wasn't released the way it was.

Ahhhh, SFC3, Taldren's afterthought of a product.  SFC3 is a crashing, hanging, progression breaking, and overall buggy mess of a game.  I read posts by countless users like "Why is my game crashing?  Should I reinstall?  Format Windows?  Update drivers?  etc etc etc".  This is the solution to all of your problems.  STOP PLAYING THIS GAME.  Go play a real product that is programmed competently and does not crash every 5 seconds.

The funniest thing about these people is that SOMEHOW they have been TRICKED into thinking that their machine is to blame for these problems.  IT IS NOT YOUR MACHINE.  It is the GAME!  These people are playing SFC3 w/ Windows9x/XP/2K/ME, 512 MB ram, Geforce 4's, and other uber equipment.  Others are playing with lesser machines.  THE BUGS PREVAIL, NO MATTER WHAT CONFIG THEY HAVE.  And then these poor people post on this board asking for help, and the local FANBOYS tell them to "Reinstall", Install DX9b, Install older vid card drivers, and other POINTLESS suggestions; which just send these poor suckers on another wild goose chase.  To the few of you that can play SFC3 without problems, KUDOS.  You are a lucky few.

One more thing, don't go on about the state of SFC3 being activision's fault.  Ultimately the state of the game is the responsibility of the developer, NOT THE PUBLISHER.  Also, why do you think Taldren has bounced around between different publishers for its games?  Ask the fanboys, and its because the publishers sucked.  Ask anyone that knows anything about the industry, and they will tell you that its because Taldren's PRODUCTS ARE NOT UP TO PAR.  And where has that landed them?  With a second rate publisher like Majesco.  Admit it, it's true.

In closing, my words may hurt, but they are true.

Flame on, fanboys, and Taldren, Good Luck with Black9, I PRAY that you prove me wrong with a solid demo!

Ahhh, I stand (somewhat) corrected on that point, but keep in mind, they are now employed by MAJESCO (bleahh).  And alas, SFC3 still crashes and locks people out of dynaverse play due to a CDKEY error, which is a BUG.  Agreed?

Absolutely incorrect. Ultimately, the buck stops at the top, and the top is the publisher, not the developer; they're the people who set the deadlines and sign the cheques. They supervise the project at all stages, which is *especially * true of Activision, who by all accounts had a much larger creative and supervisory role on the project than is normal for the industry.

As one who has been on the inside testing SFC3 for Activision, Taldren had little to do with the state SFC3 was in when it was released. Why? Because... because... ack!  Damn NDA!

As one who is testing the most recent patch not yet made publicly available thanks to Activision, my is SFC3 a sweet game. Sure there's been and still are some bugs. But look what's under the hood. The entire SFC series has something that few games can claim, and thats longetivity due to its uniqueness, depth and replay value.

You go and play what ever you play with and we'll  still be here while you're mastering Donkey Kong.

 Relatively speaking, SFC3 is not a buggy game.

And I just have to say this.  While I bought the game and played it al the way through and have played it plenty online, I do prefer SFC2/OP to 3.  # is a fine game and I never had any of the problems you list.  Never once got locked out of D3 due to some CDkey error and have had relatively few bug problems or lock ups or crashes.  I do believe a lot of the problems are due to instabilities on the machine the game is running on which are brought out by the game code.  I try to keep my PC as clean as possible and rarely have all of the lock ups and crashes others seem to have.

If your solution to the problem is to quit playing then so be it.  I'm not playing it at the moment either, but will probably play it again at a later date once I get tired of Freelancer again.

There is a patch still coming I had forgotten after, what, 8 months. How long did it take to program the game to begin with, of course with more resources? If it is only bug fixes that is a shame They do things slower than where I work

I have the most piece of crap machine possible.   500 mhz PIII, 256mb ram (and that's only P133 speed ram, hehe), Rage Xpert128 graphics card with only 16 mb and I never had any of these problems described above.  I dont even think I meet the minimum requirements for the game.  I just had to turn down all the graphic sliders and take out all the sparkly stuff and the game was perfectly playable.  So yes, it is your system.  I suggest you see how much space you have on your hard drive.  You should have soemthing like 700 megs clear on it to run correctly in my experience.

Heh. I admit there are some issues. But most developers would have washed their hands and let it stay as it is. OP is a testament to Taldrens dedication to their work, and SFC3 is receiving the same. As long as I been here and at the old forum, I've never fed a Troll. Now, can't say that anymore.

Salute to Taldren. I know the truth.

I hope you do not think I am just trolling. I am sorry if it came across that way. I am just frustrated, made more so since I make my living in the software industry. I would agree that Taldren has shown dedication in the past, and I do not necessarily think the delay is their fault. My beef is with whoever is the "real" decision-maker and the development process that they are imploying (seems heavy-weight). In SFC3 I see a great foundation with great potential that probably will never be realized.

FWIW, I realize my opinion means absolutely ZERO, but sometimes it just feels good to let off steam

PC133 RAM? Lucky. I have decent add-ons to my machine, but because it is alsmot 3 years old, the RAM works at PC100 even though I have 512MB of it. I have a 64MB video card, and a 700MHz Athlon. Game runs fine...except teh odd exception error...but it takes SOOO LONG to load with MODs.

Also, my new ATA133 Hard Drive is being forced to run at ATA66 speed because of motherboard limitations. I need a new motherboard....
