Title: I just got SFC3 (finally) and it won't run!!!!
Post by: mdutr0 on October 24, 2003, 07:56:53 pm
Hi all -


  I just got SFC3, installed it, and it won't run. It keeps telling me that I don't have Directx 8.1 installed and crashes to the desktop. Actually, I have Directx 9.0 installed!  What gives????


Thanks,

Micah

You need to download and install the SFC3 1.01 Beta 2 patch.  It includes a fix for DX9.x.  You can get it at:

http://www.sfc3files.com/sort.files?cat=859&ref=767

Once you've done that, you should be good to go.

There is a new version that will be available tomorrow morning for sure. I just finished uploading it, and the campaign will launch tomorrow too. The downloads page will be updated and avaialable tomorrow as well. The new mod is 282mb and changes a lot of game material. I think anyone who tries it will enjoy it a lot.

56k plays on Dyna just fine, however, it depends on how fast you actually connect to the net...

I have played on the dyna with a 24K connect with a v.92  56k modem and I played, and had some lag, I've also connected at 38.2k and had no lag.... I think the breakpoint of lag deepends on number of players in match.. and as such, I wouldn't play a serious campaign on anything slower than a 38.8 connect so at least you can play 4 players in match.. however, the Dial-up user must make sure that their machine is free of spyware, viruses, and everything that needes a connection to the net is turned off, like instant messenger or outlook express. this is to keep your bandwidth high during a mission... your bandwidth gets cut in half with outlook express, and in the middle of a mission when it checks your email, you will either get bad lag, or you will fall out of sync...

but Dial-up can and does work on the dyna, you just need to make sure you have a clean connection (and possibly Anti-Virus turned off and firewall turned off) so that you can utilize your bandwidth to the maximum on a server...
