Birth of the Federation

Is .Net Framework 4.6.1 also o.k.?

On starting my first game it crashes and I get the following message: "Unhandled Exception: an unhandled exception has occured." The error.txt file then contains sentences like: Ein Aufrufziel hat einen Ausnahmefehler verursacht. bei System.RuntimeMethodHandle.InvokeMethod(Object target, O...

I noticed there is no separate topic on installation ...
Should contain a guide on
- where to get
- requirements
- steps to take
- known issues

and user questions / answers for problems

If you are in a game, where everyone is starting with the minimum tech, how does one go about conquering minor races? Do you just sacrifice scouts or rush the system, with more troop transports than they have orbitals? Most of the answers here were not really precise: Yes, planetary shields (and on...

1st: It depends on whether you play Single or MP a) In MP you never have time for much upgrades: Home must be upgraded when you have excess money, other than that you will basically only colonize for Dili and for Shipyard range (because one never builds Outposts and Starbases) - see general guide fo...

Because the site is a "home" to return to and the web and the world would be poorer without it. Plus: Closing this site we would not be better than Microprose and Hasbro who closed Botf itself on us. This is Coracle_RSA_9 calling in now and then. Sorry for the double post but I am really a...

This is it! What ruthlessferengi was looking for, what I tried to rewrite, this is it! The ultimate botf strategy guide written by Aralon for Red Squad Elite!!! Worship the leetness of this guide. Take it all in. This is the bible. ... except that Aralon wrote this guide while he was still in Red S...

Good idea anyway, should have changed the Temp variable a long time ago. Before posting yesterday, I had moved just almost every piece of software and even certain parts of the Windows directory, which I guess might not be needed on a daily basis to a different drive, then installed botf and then re...

@thunderchero Was it really necessary to have a compulsory use of directories on C: for temporary file extraction during installation? I did have some problems on a PC with a very small C partition. The game was to be installed on E:\botf which was o.k., but I hardly made. How about using a subdirec...

You can try to reduce your w701v to a modem (disabling all the router features) and use a Netgear instead which is pretty reliable. Works fine for internet and gaming, Netgear has DMZ, too, which the w701v hasn't. However, if you are using T-home Entertain that's not an option, then you are stuck wi...

Aye, long time. Good to see you too.

Steps: 1. Both players need the same patch version of Botf, preferably 1.0.2 2. Both players need the same Mod installed, if any, or none. 3. Both players do NOT launch Botf, exit the game if started. 4. Both players log on to Warzone. 5. First the host, then the other players go into the same separ...

It's been a long time for me and I forgot some things. Apart from the technical stuff in the other thread, there used to be a few practices and rules when we played this stuff on the Zone in the old times. So maybe you can please remind me. What I remember: - Standard game setting was: T5, many, med...

A long time ago, I wrote a 7 part botf training manual for RSA Cadets. Some of you here may have even run through it at the time, and the guys of RSE I know you had it through your Intel ;). Does anyone still have a copy? My son want's to learn ... Thank's in advance for checking and posting. Coracl...
