Birth of the Federation

Ok, thanks for the clarification thunderchero.

Thanks for the responses thunderchero and adi. I finally discovered my problem. I copied a Vanilla install by just making a new folder in Windows and copying the files, and I put the copy in a subfolder of Vanilla (I did use a different folder name). I don't fully understand why this caused my probl...

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I'm still stumped. I use UE to open the stbof.res in the install path, and I hit save without changing anything.

Wow, what speedy service! Thanks.

No errors or hangups, it just exits. It doesn't happen on the other tabs such as Energy or Ships. I don't have this problem in any...

Thanks for the reply gentle, the information is helpful.
