Imperium Galactica on T-Bird 1.2

I got an ancient copy of Imperium Galactica, and I love the game. The problem is it brings up a RTE 200 error, that I haven't seen any fix for. Is it not possible to run this game on my PC?

TIA, Logan

Hi Logan_85,

Look at :

I ran a search on "RTE 200 error" and pulled up over 2K hits!! You may want to give it a try.

HTH

file copy error

While, the file you suggested seems to being doing good. However, I can not get rtm.exe to be recognized. I have copied all the other files from the CD to my HDD, but rtm.exe cannot be found to be fixed. Any suggestions? I also got to setup a make-shift temporary GF3 cooler, the VisionTek HS/F(what a POS) broke one of it's clips, and when I looked down there the thing was hardly even touching the GPU(gasp!!!). So I quickly killed the PC, and plan to put on an old Socket A cooler that I have fixed up, will probbably mount with frag-tape, will order Crystal Orb tomorrow(hopefully).

To whom it may concern: the frag-tape didn't last, I ended up holding the cooler to the GPU while shutting everything down as fast as I could.

Hi Logan,

Never tried it out myself.... This seems like it would be a good post for the overclocking forum. the guys there do this sort of stuff!

reviveing an old thread...

I'm once again trying to get Imperium Galactica to run on a PC that is too fast(this time a 1.53GHz instead of a T-Bird). I downloaded CRTFix 1.6, ran it on all the *.exe files, and I can access the windows version of the setup(well, I can use a windows shortcut which came on the CD) and it appears to work OK, except I don't get the full mouse movement. I cant move the mouse far enough to click the install icon!

So I try in DOS mode(err, command promt on Win2K)and it tells me I need a VGA or veesa driver(I think, something like that) which I believe means it doesn't like my video card drivers, but every other program is quite happy with my videocard drivers!

Any suggestions?

TIA, L J

OK, once again updating this thread. I have made very little progress...

I copied the contents of one of the two CDS over to my hard-drive. I have run CRT fix on every executable file I can find(.exe, .tpu, and .tpls). I decided to try to skip the install program and run the actual game itself. The result was that it didn't like my mouse, the mouse had a "boundary" that prevented me from movingthe mouse very far on the screen.

Any ideas?
