I am running it in Vista 32bit and it's working fine. I can alt+tab with ease, no stability issues here.

What video card do you have?

NM, it appears to be working now. No idea why it didn't previously, but i just played about 7 hrs straight without any crashes or problems.

BTW, BTS is a fantastic expansion. Lots of little details they focused on that just makes the game much more fun.

"There are colonies splitting from their motherland to form new civilizations." anyone had this happen yet???

also, how is the Corporation thing? I thought it sounded kind of stupid...does it actually work out well?

Any idea what the new patch 3.03 did? It seems as if Direct2Drive and Steam owners are the only ones that received it.

Build date is August 8th, iirc.

from the readme in the Steam BtS folder

v3.3

- Microsoft Fix for Manifest Requirements

- DirectX 9.0c June Version Included

I also noticed that the BtS PitBoss program in the Steam version actually launches now instead of launching the main game.

Might also have fixed the problem with the Steam version requiring admin mode to run.
