Did somebody already test, if Bridge Commander works properly on Windows 7?
-
Some people at BCS said it works with Windows 7 64 bit at the least.
-
Well, I'm running Windows 7 32-Bit, and Bridge Commander seems to work perfectly for me.
-
good news.
Thank you
-
Running better than XP
-
Runs great for me on Windows 7
-
good here
-
It runs on Windows 7 with KM but when you install the Generations Galaxy bridge and the CCF and you want to play a quick battle you get a error and bc.exe stops working. Does anyone have the same problem? And what's the way to solve this?
-
that has nothing to do with windows...
did you install all the requirements for that bridge?? also did you read the readme?

Good to know. Thanks.

Running Windows 7 x64 and BC runs smoothly. Even better then it did on Vista.

I went to add the voyager intrepid ship to my game and it wouldn't show up I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate

how about you first tell us what bc version, what mods etc you use and what intrepid you installed? there are so many possibillities and im a little too lazy too search for ANY. :P

it isnt a Windows 7 problem... also, use BCUT to add ships in if they dont come with their own plugins...
btw - you may wish to create a separate thread for your issue with this ship since it isnt a Win 7 problem...

Hello,
First of all, sorry for thread-revival, but my issue is just with Windows 7 and BC, so I preferred not to open a new topic.
On to my issue: I have Star Trek: Bridge Commander, original version without any mods or upgrades. I've installed it on to a Windows 7 64bit computer, without any flaws.
But as I tried to run the game, simply a black screen appears, with the mouse icon hovering around. There is no videos, no menu not even any sound, I'm just watching a yellow star-trek mouse-pointer roaming around in total blackness.
I've searched other forums for this issue, and found nothing relevant. Any suggestions?

On Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit runs best :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

that solves nothing...
anyway on to Shroudeye's question... I'd try and install BC in a directory other than programfiles like C:\Games
-
If your BC can't install properly, reinstall it to C:\Games (x86) folder and try again or install it in other Local Disk. For example D:\Games. My Games are in D:\Games, E:\Games and H:\Games and everything is working fine ;)
-
I had it installed on E:/Program files/...
I'll try reinstalling it to a different location, I'll let you know if it worked or not.
BTW thanks for replying so fast :D
-
Vladko1 I already said that :roll
anyway I hope it works shroudeye
-
I've relocated it to E:/Games/...
Still no effect...
???
-
Try running as administrator with at least installed 1.1 patch :P
-
v1.1 Patch installed, and I've tried running as admin...
No effect, again... :( :help:
-
ok
installed in new directory E:\Games
installed BC 1.1 patch
ran as admin
have you tried deleting the options.cfg file in the bc directory?
-
I've just did. And no effect, AGAIN...
So far I did:
-Changing installation dir,
-Running as admin,
-Compatibility mode, which seemed only to produce a "error" sound without visible error message,
-Upgrading to v1.1,
-Deleting options.cfg,
-:banghead:
And STILL no results.
One hell of a problem, I see...
-
uninstall the game completely... reinstall in new directory then install the patch and run the game.
sooo very odd.
-
Will do, but not much hope left here...But thanks anyway...
One last ditch: I think I've read that some of the ST titles work in a FAT32 environment, the ones found in USB sticks. Do you think that will work?
-
What is your OS? Starter, Home, Enterprise, Ultimate? I think and this is important.
EDIT: btw, try with compactibility mode under XP SP2 :P

don't run in compactibility mode, it's not really needed.
-
I don't run it with compactibility too, but still it's not so unimportant to forget :P
-
My os is Windows 7 Home Premium.
As I said, I've already tried using compatibility mode.
BTW, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game&did everything from scratch, and it still not working...
I'll try using a FAT32 environment as a last ditch, I'll let you know.
Its odd, because I got some good old titles working under 7 without any mods and glitches... Like Descent 3 of Outrage&Interplay...
Thanks to both of you, for sparing your time...

What is your processor model, because with my old Athlon 6000+ had baad issues with BC :(

that wouldn't cause this.
btw when you uninstalled BC did you delete the leftover folder and files in it? (sometimes things still remain)
I'd also make sure the BC reg is cleaned from your system.
-
you are wrong. Can cause because with my old processor I had 2-3 applications which coudn't run, and now with the new, can :)
-
That's cause your processor(old one) couldn't handle the strain those applications required of it... (that's why you look at system requirements) any new computer these days can run BC without much if any problems at all.
If he's running Win 7 and has everything else running smoothly I'd bet BC would run fine.
-
I mean with the OpenGL, dx8 and old dx9 applications. The applications made after 2005 didn't make any problems.
-
If its going to help,
My processor is Intel Core2 Duo, T6500 2.10Ghz, Dual core.
And yeah, I've cleaned up the leftover after uninstalling.
I don't get it... It is like the game is "working", but the sounds, visuals, etc. everything is absent. Only thing I got is the game's mouse pointer roaming around. And when I check the game folder, I see everything is in their place...
Maybe I should play in the options.cfg? Some setting might be getting in the way of everything?
Also,

Well, I got the Descent 3 from 1999, and its running perfectly...
-
So, if you have only a mouse pointer, this maybe is a BSoD. See the requirments of BC and install something or update your Windows from windows update. Check everything BC needs. Maybe the windows has something that BC needs and it's missing :arms:
-
I think we already figured that a while ago... though getting a console report now wouldn't hurt......
