You too? And here I thought i'd have to hide under a bridge in shame for the rest of my life.



I've had no problems from the get-go. Here are my system specs:

Asus Motherboard
AMD 1.4 Ghz
256 MB
ATI Radeon w/128MB
Sound BLaster Live 5.1
USB (4 Devices Plugged in- MS IntelliExplorer 3 Mouse, Iomega Zip Drive, Nostromo Game Pad, Pocket PC)
WinXP Pro

David Gervais makes a good point to make sure nothing is running in the background which could interfere with Starfury. Antivirus Programs and Firewalls have a nasty habit of causing software conflicts for no apparent reason and at random moments. Of course, making sure your audio & video drivers are up to date should be done first.

Running Demo also, AMD 2.2 256 Ram, I had to lower rez in game to get good FR at max was getting like 3 to 5 FPS

What did you have to lower your resolution -to-?

EDIT: Even at the max SF supports I'm getting a solid 30 FPS in the first system of my mod..and my system is slower than yours.

Two things:
1- what is your graphics card?
2- is Direct3d T&L HAL selected under 3d device?

BTW, I just got a GF 6800, and I will try out StarFury with the 71.xx drivers soon, when I get a chance. I've been busy and this machine needs all kinds of stuff installed yet...

Well, that would really only provide useful information to Aaron.

When exactly does the error occur?

Is this stock SF, or have you made some changes? Using a mod?
If so, what mod, and/or what kind of changes?

Well, I did try to add an item to the components list. But after the first try, I made everything as it was previously (stock).

The error windows begin appearing once I execute the menu program. I have to click okay on a dozen or so windows before I even see the meneu show up. If I alt tab or simply click away, a new one appears on top of the initial menu. If I select settings, I have another few identical windows to go through before that shows up. That about sums it up.

UPDATE: I attempted to press the button to play, and went through about 30 of those windows before getting a new one.

"Exception EAccessViolation in module starfury.exe at 0006CB7F.
Access violation at address 0046CB7Fin module 'starfury.exe'. Read of address 00000030."

The menu that has the "play game" / "video settings" and such?
Yikes, that's not good.

Main tip:
- Never edit the stock files.
Instead, copy the campaign folder, and edit your "copy of campaign X".

I would suggest reinstalling SF as the most straightforward thing to do next. It sounds like something must have gotten corrupted in the exe... You didn't have a catastrophic failure lately? Power outage while loading or something?
Mught want to do a virus scan too just in case.
