When i choose OK to go to Debugg Mode, Game continues, i can choose any option
it works, bur when i chooe an campaign and will start, in this case the Raiders Wars
campaign, comes this:

I need Help to get this nice Game working :o)

Thanks a lot,

I get the exact same problem, so you are not alone.  I really want to play this because I am such a huge babylon 5 fan. :)

I assume that:

A), n'either of you are attempting to play TBP as a mod of FS2, but as a stand-alone install.

B), you've both installed the 3.3 Core update, followed by the 3.3a Patch.

Good to hear it's running for you.  The reason you didn't find a download link on the website for the patch, is because you (most likely) went to the HLP-hosted TBP website, which is no longer our primary website.  The new site is through our own domain name at http://www.b5-project.com/ and is somewhat more updated (thouth not all that much... yet).

Have you all Files from the 3.3a patch to your Main TBP Folder extracted ? And then to start use not the Launcher ..
try the new, fs2_open_367.exe

You still need the launcher, you just use the "browse" button to select a different exe than the default.  You are correct about extracting the contents of the Patch though.
