Tested with Geforce 7600GT with NVIDIA 180.08 driver.

This section is mainly focused for unmodded Bridge Commander

When reporting a test result please add your video card and driver version, thank you.

The game seems to have problems with ATI Radeon cards. I use the opensource driver, and have a very slow overall appearance of the game (The same appears with the proprietary driver). Even the mouse pointer does not move smoothly (As if the bug above is not resolved yet for ATI cards??) Apart from being very slow, everything works, even the videos.

Because of driver problems, Intel video cards which are commonly used in Laptops will be too slow for this game.
Nvidia cards with the closed source driver are working fine.

If you have problems with Sound try the set Audio Quality to High: For this open options.cfg in a Text editor and change ProviderReserveList=LowQualitySoftware to ProviderReserveList=HighQualitySoftware
Kobayashi Maru users can change this under Game Options.

Installing Bridge Commander

Other considerations

1. You may need a fixed exe

2. Fastest way to test if game is working is through Quickbattle. Load the game, configure it and test 3d with the Quickbattle Button.

3. If you run this game from a vfat drive, I highly recommend to use the mount option shortname=winnt. Else BCs internal Python interpreter can run into a lot trouble with case sensitivity of files.Black screen on start may be caused by this.
