Whenever I start the game I can pick my empire, choose my hex, but once the mission starts to load I get this error:

Unhandled Exception! in Version 1.01 Beta 2 Build 500
SFC3.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module d3d8.dll at 001B:02B382F7

Umm...what is going on this time? I have a P4 1.9ghz and an ATI Radeon 9700 pro running in windows xp with 512megs of DDR RAM.

Try going to an older catalist driver for your video card the highest of the 2.X series I think.

also, since you are using Radeon, you may have to set your systen color mode to 16 bit instead of 32 bit.

So I can't play this game unless I downgrade my drivers? Ugh...

Apparently, I can play the game without the beta patch (but I still have to add the Directx 9 fix). So I have decreed that the beta patch really screws up anything for ATI Radeon owners (at least the 9700 pro users). Any word on when Taldren "might" fix this? Don't worry, I won't hold my breath but I may still be surprised...

It would just be nice to play the game with the other bug fixes but whatever they "fixed" they apparently broke something in the process...
