ok, let me know if i didn't include anything in the archive, that could be the problem or maybe something i forgot.
Files:
Hiigaran_Battleship.x
Main_ComponentConfigurationSlotsPlayer.txt
Main_PurchaseShipsPlayer.txt
SpaceObjects_XFiles.txt
the 3 portrait and shield *.bmp files
and 5 *.bmp files that are used as materials in the model
originally i wasn't using windowed mode, but switched to it to try and resolve the issue, the game still gives no error messages, just crashes.
... i couldn't find where to add attachments to this, maybe because its a quick reply? but i'll just throw them on a hosting website..
