I bought both these games in the Steam sale just over a week ago, and have just got around to trying them.
The game launches into the menus fine (though 1 of the intro movies for SR1 doesn't appear to play correctly).
I choose the tutorial, and (depending on race/character) am tasked with a simple mission.
I launch from the hangar, transition through the loading screen, and into the space view.
However within 2-10 seconds of entering the space view the game freezes my computer & graphical corruption occurs.
The operting system is unresponsive to task switches, so a reset is required.
This happens in both Space Rangers 1 & Space Rangers 2: Reboot.
Machine Spec. as follows:
Windows 7 Pro x64,
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz (overclocked stable@3.2GHz)
4GB DDR2,
Geforce GTX 260 (+ an old Geforce 8800 GTX dedicated to physx)
I've tried running the games in both Win98 & WinXP SP3 compatibility mode but to no effect. I've also tried disabling desktop composition again to no effect.
Interestingly SR2:Reboot does NOT crash when run in windowed mode.
However, unless there is a command-line parameter that allows SR1 to do the same? this is only a partial work-around.
