Re: Windows 7 problems/solutions please post them here
Hi All,
I am playing the UM5 and everything runs great except for manual combat with a large number of ships (more than 5 per side), it crashes every time. I have zero modding experience, so I have no idea what might be causing it. I took a look at the crash log (I think) and it was just an empty notebook. Here is my set up/how I run it.
Windows 7 64 bit - service pack 1
Run UM5 in compatibility mode with Win98/ME
Run in 256 colors
Run 640x480
Disable display scaling
Run as Admin
Graphics Card - GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
I have the vanilla multi-installer downloaded and that works absolutely fine.
Any help or ideas?

LOL, yeah, it is really small. Honestly, I dont know if its my PC (its from 2009) or the game. I have a save file that I tested 5 times that crashes once you get into combat on the next turn, but being new to the whole forum thing as well, I can't find how to upload it....
Edit: I figured out how to attach a PM, so I sent it that way.

not sure why or how but I was unaware attachments were off for this sectionRyan23 wrote:Edit: I figured out how to attach a PM, so I sent it that way.
but fixed now.
I tested your saved game without crash. (feds lost)
when you installed multi installer did you change 3d setting to direct 3d? or use default software?
software is suggested

Yes, everything was set up as the default, I didnt want to try to get fancy. Is there anything else that could help, you think?
Thanks for the help.

Re: Windows 7 problems/solutions please post them here
1. install DirectX 9 redist to be sure you have all directx 9 files for botf (this will not affect your current version of directX) only add missing files if any.thunderchero wrote:Is there anything else that could help
2. try changing setting in stbof.ini on this line
3D=SOFTWARE
to
3D=DIRECT3D
note; this file would need to be changed in UM5 folder (each install/mod has it's own version of this file)
3. You may need to create a profile for BOTF within your video card setting/control panel. many new video drivers have so many settings that may effect game play, morphological filtering and crossfire have been most common problems, but others settings might cause 3d rendering crash like this also.
good luck and keep us posted when you find a solution

I got it to work finally!
Completed steps 1&2 and created a profile for UM5 on my graphics card. Didnt have any of the settings you mentioned in your post, but I cranked everything down.
My settings:
Anisotropic filtering from 16x to 4x
Antialiasing Setting from 8x to 4x
Multi-disply/Mixed GPU acceleration - Compatibility mode
Texture filtering - High performance (as opposed to high quality)
I think it was the anisotropic filtering. Started at 16x for the crashing, set it to 2x and UM5 would run. Set it to 4x and got through the whole battle fine.
Thank you, Thunderchero

Re: Windows 7 problems/solutions please post them here
thanks for info,
I just checked in my AMD Catalyst Control Center and those setting are set this way
AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
Anisotropic filtering (mode and level) - use application settings
Antialiasing Setting - use application settings
Multi-disply/Mixed GPU acceleration - no setting available (no multi display used?)
Texture filtering - standard

are you using DxWnd?
DxWnd can be used in both windowed mode and fullscreen mode.
btw just wondering did you use the All in one installer? If so what options?

Re: Windows 7 problems/solutions please post them here
Hi, I'm new here. Been playing the game a long time.
I'm currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. Nothing on the computer except Armada, AVG, and Google Chrome. All of my device drivers are running fine. The computer is a Dell Inspiron N4010.
Here's my problem.
I have tried downloading BOTF 1.0.2 (English/German) multiple times. I can never get it to run. The game tries to load, the icon appears, then it just crashes.
I've tried downloading through the old Multi-Installer and through the new All-in-One.
I've tried running it as admin, adjusting display size, fiddling with compatibility settings...none of it works.
The kicker is that I've been able to get the games to run just fine on this laptop before. But I was having problems with it running really slowly, suspected a bad hard disk, so I did a complete wipe-and-reinstall of the OS. Ever since I've been having the problem described above.
Incidentally I have the same problem with Armada.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Re: Windows 7 problems/solutions please post them here
I would suggest installing the "tools" of the All in One and use DxWnd and see if that helps.
