There was a construction ship crash fixed a long time ago. Here is a link - a new build on bitbucket. You will still need the Resources folder but check to see if this code does the same thing with the old Resources first.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go now

I don't know if I'm doing it right but I've tried unzipping this file and it runs. However when I try to set up a game it is giving me another unhandled exception message. Here it is:

Sorry if it's something simple I'm missing but I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to programming

try to download and install latest XNA Framework, maybe from here http://www.heise.de/download/microsoft- ... 93007.html

Tried the XLA install but no change

Does the new installation of the game have inside the main game folder a sub folder called Resources? Here is a version of it you can try

You might want to check your version of Direct X as well.

SUCCESS!!! Thank you for your support and for putting up with me being next to useless.

Now to get down to getting my arse handed to me in the game!

No prob Colin. Have fun! Remember though that theres no AI yet.
