Game won't start...

Post by DS Piron »

Whenever I try to start the game, it's a black screen, and stays like that until my netbook BSODS, presumably from overexertion, BSODs are not rare on my netbook.

The Shipmaker works though

I think the netbook doesn't have the muscle to run BSF. I mean... even BSF lags like hell on my desktop.

Perhaps try manually toning down the settings in the bsf.ini file?

If i had a netbook (or any other computer for that matter) thats often throwing BSODs, id be worried about the hardware, not trying to run another taxing game...
