After hearing good reviews of this games, I bought it, only to find it constantly either gurued or lost track of disk 2. If run from the floppy, it can't find disk2 (I've tried renaming the disk the name in the requestor, but that didn't help; perhaps there is an invisible character in the file name???). After installation on my hard drive (I just put everything into one directory; the install script was broken by looking for directories on the floppy that weren't there) the game would run, but would always crash after a varying amount of time--usually right after the title screen came up, sometimes right before, sometimes right after the options screen, but before the game actually started. If anyone has successfully conquered these problems, *please* let me know how you did it. I have an Amiga 2000 with a 2090a hard drive controller and 3 meg of memory, if the configuration matters. thanks, rob ARNOLDR@Grin1.bitnet

Yeah, I've got the same problems. StarControl gurues after X number of minutes. Running from a HardDrive w/GVP controller on an A2000 w/9 megs. Kinda ticks me off. oh, well... jcs cavalier@portia.stanford.edu -- Jason C.

Apparently there were some bad disk 2's shipped with Star Control. If you call Accolade support (phone # is in the manual), I think they will send you a new one. This info is based on an e-mail exchange I was having with a guy on GEnie who was having problems similar to the ones you're having.
