Topic: Request help with SFC 3 game crashing (Read 1807 times)

I just purchased and installed SFC 3 on my new system. I also installed the Direct X 9 patch, which was the only way I could get the game to boot up. It starts just fine, but as soon as I attempt to start any campaign, skirmish, or tutorial, I get the following message:

------------------------------------------

An Unhandled Exception occurred in Stafleet Command!

Unhandled Exception! in Version 1.01 Beta 2 Build 500
SFC3.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module d3d8.dll at 001B:02D18309

------------------------------------------

This occurs whether or not the first Taldren beta patch is installed. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, what's the fix?

My system:

HP Pavilion a250n
2.6 GB processor
550 MB RAM

hey paperboy!

what vid card you using? you might want to switch color depth to 16 bit.

Sorry, I thought I'd posted the vid card specs. It's a Radeon 9800. I just bought the computer, and ran all the driver update options I could find for the various components. As far as I know, it's all up to date. And the color is already set to 16 bit. Thanks for the quick replies, though. Damn, this is frustrating!
