Birth of the Federation

Hello, I apologiye for the late answer. Path to thr UM5 MOD is C:\hry\botf\tools\dxwnd_Fullscreen\dxwnd.exe /R:9

Hello, I have recently reinstalled BOTF on my old laptop using the All in one installer 1.0.0 I selected the Ultimade MOD5 and when everything is installed I got an icon on desktop for UM5, Vanilla and DxWnd. However if I try to launch either vanilla or UM5 using the icon, nothing happens. If I go t...

Thanks, I added C++ 2008 and 2010 both x86 and x64 and also that XDN 3.1 (had 4.0 already) and it seems to be working.

Hello, I have just tried the latest version, but when the game generates map, it tells me an unhandled exception has occured, see error.txt for more details. I am attaching the file, however I have a Czech Windows so the description is also in Czech. But it may still help. Thanks.

Hi Killer, I think the game does not like modern graphics cards. from your description I would say you are correct, This sounds like a driver issue or setting of your video card. if you want more help tell us more about your system and video card and what driver version that is installed. Hi thezfu...

Hello, I am having trouble with the vanilla as well as with the UDM when getting to the main menu. The animation fromt he intro seems to stay there, I get some flickering and have to move the mouse to the right for menus to appear. Doing this I can load the game or start a new one and it also disapp...

How about Galactic Civilizations II or Lost Empires Immortals? And for free you can always get Master of Orion II somewhere. It is even worse as it copies BOTF to the letter and then tells us it does not have a ST content because of copyright. But do not take me wrong. I admit that the creators of B...

Hmm, I have tried the new version of BoTE and I am really disappointed by the lack of ST content. It is just strange to play a BOTF without ST. I still do not understand why ST content was removed. Yes, I know about the copyright, but is just a nonesence IMHO. Take a look at the Supremacy. Right now...

Hmm, I have never ever used autobuild since I bought BotF 10 years ago? How does it work?

Oh, that explains it. But it is a pity that you do not have a time to properly play your own excellent MOD

Hello, I have tried to search but with no result. I would like to ask, if there is some way to increase the ships limit in a fleet. Playing on huge maps and sending fleets around is really pain in the arse with only 9 ships per fleet.

It is strange Stardust that you have not noticed. When I play your AAM MOD, minors always get their ships upgraded. Well not ships themselves, but the buildable ones. So one time I had a fleet of Vucan Ships II, III and IV :) I have alway thought that it is based upon my research. Once they are part...

Well yes, I usually do not have problem with the Borg. But the AI does. It usually gets wiped out withou my assistance. Which is strange, because last time on a normal map in AAM I was attacked by 50 light cruisers and sometimes even escorted by 25 destroyers. This force alone should take out the Bo...

Yup, I have just tried the UDM 3 and I am also having a trouble at the lowest level. When I finally built my first outpost I could not believe that is has done nearly nothng for my ships range :-) But I suppose the same applies for AI, so I will play and see. Anyway, back to the Borg. Would be possi...

I have never had a problem with Borg. Just bring enough cruisers and set them to head straight towards the cube/sphere. It is even better if they have some experience so their phasers do really hit (I still have no idea how can someone miss a Borg cube though ).
