sounds like same problem others have had with GTX470, video card driver.lightsbr21 wrote:Nvidia GeForce GTX460 is my video card. I'm not sure if it uses 10 or 9, where would I find that?
if you have not already updated your video card driver that would be the first thing to try. You might need to use an older driver if updated one does not work.

Thanks for trying, Peter1981 and

The only other thing I can think of is because I was told this and it helped me. I had lots of crashing problems, and this helped a bit.
In your stbof.ini file, make sure 3D=SOFTWARE and then see what happens.
If that doesn't work, then I am sorry I can't help no further.
How about getting a cheaper video card, or getting a cheap old computer just to run BotF? Just an idea there.

Hi there is been a long time that I have poste here becouse my PC die on me last year and I just got my new pc 2 mouths a go, and I am hope BOTF will work on windows 7 64 bit system. But from what I have ready read so far its hope less becosue my is a very high spec pc.
I have 2 Radeon video cards 6970 in crossfire mode, but the thin I cant get is I have a very old game called Earth 2150 a lot older than BOTF it was made in windows 95 days but yet it work fine and BOTF dose not.

Hi thunderchero long time no see I just did a quick test I would recament you do the same way has a 32 bit system
Run in 256 colors
Run in 640x480 screen reslution
Disable visual themes
Disable desktop composition
Disable display scaling on high DPI
and run the game in XP service pack 3
Also PLZ PLZ PLZ!!! if you have two video cards in crossfire mode Disable crossfire mode when you want to play on BOTF.
I have not try a full game yet but so far so good I can click on turns and thats working fine building fine but I still need to try it in combat.

Hi,
I've been playing BOTF for years.
Today I have installed it on my new machine (specs after post)
The game runs in compatability mode for XP SP2 but crashes with a sound loop about 45 seconds into playing.
I have updated using the BOTF 102 patch which I use on all my other machines.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

welcome Sailor-Moon,
post moved to general chat
if you have not already checked this thread, or you could try turning off sound in stbof.ini to see if that stops crashes.

There is a log or something that when you crash it tells why. I forget where to find it. Sorry.Borg wrote:Hi again thunderchero I can get BOTF to work but aftder 3 turns it stops work resion is unknow, so has it stands now I can play on BOTF no more.
So I am very sorry about that.
What do you have your 3D set to in the .ini file? I forget what is should be set to at the moment, it might help you from your crashes. When I had it installed it helped me.
