Ok, so what "dc:" does is that the game reads your SIDE data from Steam/steamapps/common/SWBF2/GameData/ADDON/ABC instead of the default Steam/steamapps/common/SWBF2/GameData/Data (there goes the entire path so you dont look in the wrong folder). This means that the game will read YOUR modfied SIDE and not the shipped one.

If your game crashes, you should check that the Addon/ABC folder exists and contains a LVL_PC folder with the lvl files for the sides. THIS HAPPENED TO ME because, for some reason, my modded sides were munging in the wrong folder, so I had to copy them to the correct one EACH TIME I changed something, so it wouldn't crash.

If that doesn't work, see if you are getting any error messages when munging the side.

Good luck!
