hi gamers and fellow trekkers-i have recently purchased sfc3 and have yet to be able to play it without it crashing.

i have seen all the people on the forums with all their questions and fixes and patches,so this tells me i'm

not the only one out there with a problem with this game.

i have all but given up on trying to make this game run-i have installed the latest updates for my graphics card

ihave downloaded the beta patch

i have installed and uinstalled the game

and have yet to be able to get the game to run without it crashing or telling me that i need direct-x 8,when i have

direct-x9 already.

i really want to play the game and it really looks great,but i feel after three days of fixes,patches and downloads

its not worth the trouble anymore.

my pc is only one year old and incorporates the following
1-dell dimension 8300
pentium4 at 2.6GHz

2-256MB DDR

3-80 GB hard drive

4-64MB GeForce4 MX graphics card (just updated with nvidia 53.03 update

now can anyone tell me what i'm missing?

i would think that TALDREN OR ACTIVISION after seeing the many people that have written the forum about

there priblems concerning sfc3 would raise a red flag to them and they act as a responsible company

and address the problem for there customers instead of leaving them frustrated in attempts to make

the game work.

i see this as very poor customer relations and poor business practice,which will do nothging for their public image

as a gaming company.

i would like to hear from the company as to there reply to my issue .

if these statements annoy anyone,all i can say is that the truth is always hard to hear.

i'm sure that TALDREN will delete my statements here since they will consider it bad press

but i think the forum and the people writting to the forum is evidence enough that the game is a bad buy.

I have heard of some problems on higher end MBs with the GeForce4 MX video card and latest drivers. But I cannot remember details.

A side note, I would dump the GeForce4 MX, it is a low end POS video card compared to todays standars. It is just enough to get by. It will soon be virtually obsolete, especially when Doom 3 comes out!

I would try the video driver rollback with the BETA patch only. MAke sure it's a clean install then only the patch (delete all traces of SFC3 under program files).

It's a shame that Activision pulled the plug on SFC3. We used to comlain about Interplay, but Activision is falling apart.

Heck, I use a generic integrated 810e video card on my P3 600 mhz and SFC3 runs fine. Granted, I can't run most games now, but who cares. Most games these days are etheir role playing games or crap. If I want too play games like that, I will play them on my PS1/2. You don't need intense, pretty graphics for a good strategy game. It helps make games like SFC more enjoyable, but its the gameplay that counts.
