Hi Henning. I moved your helpdesk ticket to one of the SFC3 forums for better visibility. (helpdesk is more for website support)

We'll need some more info. Mainly, what operating system and patch level of the game?

Yep, what Bonk said, what version do you have the game patched to.

i am running on windows xp with service pack 3 i currently only have the version on the disk as i dont know where to get the patch and if it is neccesary as i can't get the game to go past the ships flying before the main screen

should be http://starfleetcommand3.filefront.com/file/sfc3_beta_patch_v534b_all_languages;28800 I don't play a lot of SFC3, so I'm not sure

All the SFC3 patches should also be available here:
ftp://www.dynaverse.net/sfc3/Patches/

I also am mostly unfamiliar with the details of patching SFC3. I seem to recal something about the latest one not necessarily being the best?

Try searching for posts by Pestalence including SFC3 and patch... actually lemme give it a go and see what I find...

Bonk · « **Reply #8 on:** January 28, 2011, 04:00:31 pm »

Ah here we go...

Pestalence's instructions:
SFC 3 patch v534 Revision B (v534_b)
(some parts may be outdated - check date on post - see "updated" link below as well...)

Current link to patch:
ftp://www.dynaverse.net/sfc3/Patches/SFC3_Patch_1.01_Beta_2_Build_v534_b.exe

Ah an "updated" sfc3 patch post:

http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163344600.0.html

... so I'd say do a bit of reading and searching and you should find the answers here somewhere.

hey all thanks for the help the links did not work but i found the file this is the link it is working fine now thanx again http://www.filefront.com/3853085/sfc3patch1.01beta2buildv534b.exe

Glad to hear you got it working.

The links do work, I just expect your browser (ie?) does not like them. (You can always use an ftp client if you need to download files from us, if your browser cannot.)

ftp://www.dynaverse.net/

I recommended getting files for SFC stuff here, I cannot account for the integrity of files obtained elsewhere.

Happy hunting!
