Well, I'm using a soundbLaster audigy live, and I have problems with the music, as the game crashes everytime I have music set to 'enabled', sound effects do work tho... I have installed the latest drivers (using auto update), but that didn't help. I also have this problem with DO, where the game crashes as soon as it's done loading the level (and, I guess, tries to change the tune currently playing?) if music is enabled.

edit : oh, I have the latest patch installed too

I know this is late, but I think the Audigy drivers aren't updated through windows update for some reason. Go to creatives site to get them.

This is my experience with the demo so far (by the way I bought the full game it behave the same).
I try to play the game on my AMD (=2000Ghz pentium), 512 ram and and a GeForce256 (yes a little dated) video card, and a Sound bLaster card. I also have Windows XP and Windows 98 (dual boot on the same system).
The first time that I try to play on WinXP it crashed, something with the video I thought. So I try it on Win98 and work with no problems....
Went back to WinXP but this time I changed the resolution on my system to 1024x768 (my normal default is 800x600)before I try the game, and it is working fine now.
It seems that the trick was to switch the resolution on my system before I played the game.

My brother on the other hand has a pentium 850 mhz (slow by today standards but well up there with the game requirements), 512ram , a Geforce2(beter than mine), and a SoundBLaster live. He also has dual boot WinXP and Win98. He played the game on Win98 and had no problems. On WinXP he has a problem with the mouse, very slow, and the keyboard commands also...we have to work on that...but at least he can play on Win98 with no problems. Will have to go and chase drivers again, all the drivers were the latest 3 months ago.

I hope that my comments are helpfull.

You too? And here I thought i'd have to hide under a bridge in shame for the rest of my life.



I've had no problems from the get-go. Here are my system specs:

Asus Motherboard
AMD 1.4 Ghz
256 MB
ATI Radeon w/128MB
Sound BLaster Live 5.1
USB (4 Devices Plugged in- MS IntelliExplorer 3 Mouse, Iomega Zip Drive, Nostromo Game Pad, Pocket PC)
WinXP Pro

David Gervais makes a good point to make sure nothing is running in the background which could interfere with Starfury. Antivirus Programs and Firewalls have a nasty habit of causing software conflicts for no apparent reason and at random moments. Of course, making sure your audio & video drivers are up to date should be done first.

Running Demo also, AMD 2.2 256 Ram, I had to lower rez in game to get good FR at max was getting like 3 to 5 FPS

What did you have to lower your resolution -to-?

EDIT: Even at the max SF supports I'm getting a solid 30 FPS in the first system of my mod..and my system is slower than yours.

Two things:
1- what is your graphics card?
2- is Direct3d T&L HAL selected under 3d device?

BTW, I just got a GF 6800, and I will try out StarFury with the 71.xx drivers soon, when I get a chance. I've been busy and this machine needs all kinds of stuff installed yet...

Well, that would really only provide useful information to Aaron.

When exactly does the error occur?

Is this stock SF, or have you made some changes? Using a mod?
If so, what mod, and/or what kind of changes?

Well, I did try to add an item to the components list. But after the first try, I made everything as it was previously (stock).

The error windows begin appearing once I execute the menu program. I have to click okay on a dozen or so windows before I even see the meneu show up. If I alt tab or simply click away, a new one appears on top of the initial menu. If I select settings, I have another few identical windows to go through before that shows up. That about sums it up.

UPDATE: I attempted to press the button to play, and went through about 30 of those windows before getting a new one.

"Exception EAccessViolation in module starfury.exe at 0006CB7F.
Access violation at address 0046CB7Fin module 'starfury.exe'. Read of address 00000030."
