Post by: Dawg81 on April 03, 2007, 11:06:21 PM

Ok i have checked out the forums and there doesnt seem to be a thread about this if i have missed it i apoligize. Does anyone know wether BC and any SFC game will run on Vista or not cause i need to get a new OS for my PC build that i am about to do.

BC is known to work on Vista.

Though I wouldn't suggest installing it to Program Files.

yeah my friend Centurus told me the same thing and he said that there may be some incompatability issues with some mods and Vista security alerts so i have opted for XP Pro

Mods won't have any problems with Vista.

I'm actually having quite a bit of difficulty with Vista (64x) and BC mods. I have tried several mods, from manual installs, to BCMP and BCMI installs. I recently installed the BC Supermod 3 from  filefront and it installed fine. The problem is when I start the game It only shows the original ship models and none of the new ones. Nothing changes. I've tried the game in the x86 directory and the regular program files directory, with and without the patch. Nothing seems to work. Any help?

Next time start a new thread, instead of mega bumping an old one. :wink:

Anyways, run the game as an admin and make sure you activate all of the mutators.

Sorry, new here.  :( I always do run the game as admin, but when I go into options to change the mutators the button for it is greyed out..

Are you in a quickbattle? You can't change the mutators in quickbattle, or any other mission.

No, as soon as I load up the game I go straight into options and its greyed out...Maybe I'll try a clean install again

I'd suggest using bcsmc instead of bcmp and bcmi anyway ;)

If the Mutators is greyed out, then it means you are running a "session". Be it Single Player, Quick Battle, MultiPlayer or a Custom Mission.
