BotF2 problem

for BUGs: http://botf2.star-trek-games.com/viewforum.php?f=32

Lloyd James wrote: When the game crashes, it automatically generates an error log, which you can find in your main BotF2 folder. Look for Error.txt or ServerError.txt; one or both of these files should be there. If they're not there, the issue may not be to do with BotF2 itself, but some other aspect of your computer. Or it's crashing before the log can be generated. Or the cause is something that isn't being checked for by the game.
