Age.. re read the posting slowly..




You have to install SFC 3 fresh and clean... no mods or anything else added.. just the game by itself off the disk.. say no to Direct x 8.1 and say no to Gamespy Arcade


then Download and install

SFC 3 Patch 1.01 beta 2 build v 500


then download and install

SFC 3 patch 1.01 Beta 2 build v531


then right click on your SFC 3desktop icon,  click properties.. in the box that pops up click on the compatibility tab and put a checkmark in the small square next to "Disable Visual Themes"

Click OK

make sure you ahve all the updates from Windows Update (click start button then click windows updates.. follow instructions on web page)

do not get driver updates from microsoft, go to your device manufacturers we site.. such as www.nvidia.com if you have a NVidia video card.. and get the drivers from them....

then try game...

you should be all patched up and ready for modding.

Yes I basically know what to do it was that I was making that post a little fast because my rice was starting to steam.I had to hurry before it stuck to the cooker I check my direct x and it is a 9.0a you say 9.0b would 9.0a work aswell it work with game now and Activision set it up in thier support site.I told them everything is loading when the movie plays it ask if I want to install direct x 8 I said no and it still didn't load but after I DL direct x9.0a it loaded and worked fine.I guess you will sent that flick when your site is up and running I see it is down.I was over at SFCX.org and read the RDSL and saw that you lost your BC what was it btw sorry to hear.

Age... System upkeep is important.. Directx 9.0a is not compatible with Direct X 9.0b..

this has been stated my Microsoft.. the one's who created Direct X.

If you go to your start Button and click it.. look in there for Window's Update... should be near the top of the list.

click this and a window will open up.. allow it to install the small packet if it asks.. then the page will change.. click Scan Now and notice the top left of the window in the column it will say Recommended Updates.. get all Updates under Critical Updates and Windows Components.. under Drivers.. look at the drivers listed.. and get all of them except the Video Card drivers.. if there are video card dirvers listed.. go to the company that built your video card and download the drivers from their web site...

now if you have never done this before.. you will be there a while getting your machine up to date...

you machine will be working a whole lot better then you are  done...

this will also update your Direct X  to 9.0b

this will solve a lot of problems on your machine.

  I just want to express my gratitude to, Mr. Ferrel, who in my view is the gleaming rainbow in this whole affair. He has broken through what has been a very long dark and overcasted climate for some of us since the games release, thank you again, Mr. Ferrel, you have made a small group of people happy by way of your dedication.

I would back it yp if I were you as all patches set everthing back the way it is.I don't think it will affect your reffited ships as they are not modded and have all original parts on them when you took the game out of the box.You will have to uninstall it remember and you will and delete the folder and DL the patch you will lose yours mods sorry for telling you this.I don't know if backing them up will work though as this a brand new patch and won't reconize them.
