Help please thank you

I got this same error. Go to Users -> my documents -> my games -> GSB -> prefs.ini

change the W to 1024
H to 768 and try running it.

That brings me to my problem - I’ve gotten this far and the game is on the main screen, but when I click on the main window it crashes. I do not see any menu options either.

Ouch. :frowning:

anything useful in the debug logs ?

I managed to fix that problem.

Got another one though: I’m running GSB through steam but have bought the expansions through Gamersgate. Trying to run the campaign it asks for my online code etc. When I put in the key from Steam, it tells me its invalid.

the code will definitely be valid. it is in this format (do NOT post it here)

XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-X

If you find it, and you get an error with that code, then it means it is being blocked by a firewall somewhere, so make sure the game is allowed through.

Thanks for the reply Cliffski.

I fixed my problem by entering the code into GSB in the format XXXXXXXXXXXXX

IOW, I did NOT hit the ‘-’ [dash] key myself and it validated ok.
