Thanks for all the assistance btw!

Yep the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\ is the default directory for the client. Oh right your using SSD has a boot drive cool niceone,

but you can run into to problems doing that.

No probs about help, lets hope the game work for you now.

That might be something you could ask Steam to fix with Fleet Command.

Also there are two other places where you can get Fleet Command from has a buy & download.

and

Might be something to think about, if Steam is no help to you with this issue.

Have you tried setting Compatibility Mode to "Win 98/Win Me" with "Disable Visual Themes", "Disable Desktop Composition" Disable Display Scaling" and "Run as Administrator" checked? I saw that you tried compatibility with "Win XP", but that doesn't work with Vista or 7 because Vista and 7 are built around Windows NT. I have Fleet Command through Steam and I have no trouble with it working on my Win 7 64 bit system after making these tweeks.

Hey BlackDesertStudios.

Welcome to the subsim forum, I haven't played Sub Commander for sometime on Window 7, but it should work fine on W7 without having to do anything has long as the Steam client is install in the default directory.

Just fixed this problem myself, in steam right click fleet command in your library, click properties, set launch options, type -windowed.

Now right click your desktop, click screen resolution, advanced, then show all modes, and pick your resolution (or 1600x1200 which is the max the game plays at) and 16 bit color (IMPORTANT!). now run the game, and it should work.

Seems like the initial splash screen causes the error. When you try to put the application into compatibility mode it causes problems with steam.

Hope that helps.
