Has anyone had any experiences with it, good or bad?

There was a problem (fixed in the beta patch) with SFC:TNG recognising DirectX 9.

To everyone who might be interested: get the DirectX 9 SFC3 fix file! I forgot and was unpleasantly surprised for a few tens of minutes. It's available at SFU, Taldren, and other similar haunts.

I've already applied the DirectX 9 file fix. Is it "uninstallable"? Or, would you recommend a total uninstall of SFC3 and then reinstall followed by application of the beta patch?

use Add/Remove Programs and remove SFC 3
delete the SFC 3 game folder
Reinstall SFC 3 only, say no to GSA and say no to Direct X 8.1
use SFC 3 Patch 1.01 Beta 2 build v500 to patch.
go into your SFC 3 game directory and find the SFC3.exe, right click and select properties, click on compatibility tab and make sure there is a check in Disable Visual Themes, click OK.
then choose how you want to play.. if you care for a mod, your ready for it, if vanilla, your ready for it.

1. Inability to play on Activision B and C servers. <sarcastically>And that would be a crying shame.
2. Ability to play the Borg mini-campaign, even if you didn't buy the game at Best Buy. It may only last for four missions, but it is fun!
3. Compatibility with a number of very good mods, including Generations at War, Dominion Wars, and Unity II.
Use it at your own risk, but please use it. The results are worth it!

Umm, do not use the Direct X 9 file fix is you intend to use the v500 beta patch. Using both on your game will cause unwanted game operation and game file corruption.
Beside all that it plain won't work...
