Title: Bc setup issues pls help
Post by: Phoenix Bondi on December 28, 2011, 08:57:00 AM: ok guys i've finally got around to installing bc - now im running a 64 bit dual core 3500+ with a gforce 9400 1gig ddr2 graphics so Decent enough rig.

now I've installed Bc, then bc1.1 update. then AS it was only a test for my origins stuff i then installed KM2009 but this is where the problems lye.
Spec's DONT work, no matter what i do they dont, the game is sluggish and slow which is strange for an old game and then to top it off the video's and menu Flicker like a mother!

I'm running windows 7 64 bit enterprise edition and am in need of knowing wtf is going on. can u guys please help - also bc crash's quite alot while playing too - is it to much to ask that i just play and enjoy my game with out it going Poof on me :D

Also you might need to run it as administrator and in compatability mode depending on your set up.
Also before you start any game after install+ any mods installed make sure you delete all the vox.nif files as your system will create new ones as each ship is used which is unique...all the old ones are tied into what ever build was used during making ships iirc
