Steam - Fleet Commander startup crash
Bought the game today on steam, sadly i can't get it to work.
First start up, when pressing play i got the error message "Fatal error" and CTD. Second round i tryed to run compability mode XP, feels like i came further, but got a new CTD with the error message "Bitmap Failed to Load (error 17)"... anyone knows how to fix this? I'm running Windows vista 64. Happy holidays btw |

Are your GPU & DirectX drivers up to date? Also change your desktop resolution to 800x600. The splash\load screen is has a resolution of 640x480 which can be a problem for some new monitor and laptops.

I've reinstalled it several times aswell, haven't helped. I'm running a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 card. The more time that goes by with me not being able to play it...the more i want to play it |

Oh right when you say you've reinstalled, have you delete everything to do with the game and then re-download it? Also have you un-install Steam and re-download that too.

Is there an Fleetcommand.ini file in the Fleet Command folder? Have you tried the re-package Jane's Fleet Command demo that I did?

Delete that FC.ini file and try and load the game. You can get the re-package demo from my forum. http://www.janesscsfleetcommandforum...tools-f51.html Just some other things for you, is your Steam Client install in the default directory? i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\ Are you trying to load the game via the Steamrun.exe or Fleet Command.exe, because these two have never work for some reason and I bought the Steam version of FC when it was release back in 2006 and them two .exe files just cause error when click on. Steamrun.exe and Fleetcommand.exe Failed to find Steam and loads IE to steampowered.com web site. This has happen to me on XP Home\Prof, Vista 32&64bit, Window 7 32&64Bit. If you run load the game from the shortcut on the desktop or from the Windows Start menu or from within the Steam Client the game should work. Also just a note for you or anyone else. I bought this game again a week or so ago when it was on a special price, and that work in the same way too. If it doesn't work for you I would say you need to inform Steam, I'm sorry to say.

Also there are two other places where you can get Fleet Command from has a buy & download. http://www.gamersgate.co.uk/DD-FLEETC/fleet-command and http://www.strategyfirst.com/games/2...mbat-pack.html Might be something to think about, if Steam is no help to you with this issue.
