first, thanks for posting the readme of the latest patch revision.
after reading it, I haven´t found a fix for two very ennoying bugs that were reported for nearly 2 month now.
1. stardate is stuck after loading a saved single player CONQUEST game
2. the so called "starship exploding bug", where sometimes one of your ai fleet members (or other ai ship/station) is destoyed in the moment something explodes.
maybe i missed something or it isn´t fixed yet, either way PLEASE let us know.
Best
Jack
p.s. people, please, i don´t want to see any replies other than from Dave here (bumps are always welcome
). These two bugs being fixed is very important to me and some other guys as well, because i / we love it playing a modded single player conquest game beside d3.Thanks in advance.

2) We think this is related to memory corruption. I was unable to reproduce
it on my system, but I have a gig of main memory in mine.
Thanks,
Dave

2. Ships still explode
Yes, I have the beta patch installed
And although I do not have a Gig worth of memory I do have 640 MB... One would thing that it is enough.
And I did do a complete reinstall.

Dave,
This was a problem right up until build 500. If my memory of testing serves me correctly it should be cured...errr...fixed in the version we're waiting to be released/approved by Activision.
Best,
Jerry

1. isn´t fixed in the beta
2. I have 512 MB RDRAM (4x 128 Samsung Original Pc 1066).. should be good enough
I have an idea what is causing that bug, maybe i am totally wrong.
in my opinion it could be a bug in the ship/shuttle automation. -> when a ship has launched shuttles and is beaten, the shuttles are destroyed in the SAME moment their "mothership" is exploding, regardless their status. That´s EXACTLY what happens to your ai team mate (and other ai ships/stations as well): it will be destroyed when something is exploding.
Best Jack
p.s
System Specs (just in case)
- P4 3,06 with HT ( 2,26 in another pc, same results in the game)
- 512 MB RDRAM
- Asus P4T 533-C

This is all assuming approval by Activision. It is, after all, possible, though highly implausible, that they may send it back.

It is certainly big enough that i have removed sfc3 for the moment until and IF I hear this has been fixed in the patch when it gets released.

Dave, any thoughts on my reply (ship/shuttle automation)??

As it stands, like the poster above, it's because of this bug that I just don't play SFC III anymore. The only reason I havne't uninstalled it is becuase the patch was coming out *soon*. At the very least, it's out of taldren's hands now, but that doen'st negate that If it's not fixed, i'm going to feel very devalued as a customer by the people that i gave money to for the game.
