I was there! It was fantastic.

Nice. I approve. (*bump*) Maybe? Anyone? Please? Not even a pointer?

Simple question! Anybody have the cloak and decloak sounds from the Strakha and/or Excalibur? (they're the same as I recall, yes...?) I've done some poking around online, but alas... no easy luck, and I don't have the wherewithal or necessary setup (I have WC:KS which the...

Alright you officers need to loosen up. WC1, WC2, and WC1:KS have been released into public domain, and if you wish to debate that fact, talk to the mass distribution of all of the aforementioned as part of a PC Gamer "Classic Games CD" a few years ago. Let's not be anal about blocking sites...

What kind of sound card are you using? I ask because WC might have residual code that parses the Game/MIDI port on your sound card. You may wish to disable this port. This is just a guess.

Not a problem: On your video card, there are two (or maybe even three) outputs. One is called DVI. It's usually white and has pin slots in an orthoganal (up and down, gridlike) pattern. The other is called D-SUB (it is sometimes referred to as VGA). This one has hexagonally arranged pin...

Well, here's what I gleaned when I did my massive troubleshooting: DX2.0 integrates resolution-specific rendering. Why? I don't know. I guess Microsoft figured programmers would like to write different code for different res/color depths. Well DVI is completely resolution independent. So...

Je ne suis pas sur si tu parles le francais, mais si c'est ta langue, peutetre je peux t'aider -- mon francais n'est pas vraiment bien, mais si tu veux essayer, envoye moi un email. Ca ne serait pas poli de parler en francais ici.

De quoi parles tu? Quand le jeu commence? Je ne te comprends pas.

I'll bet your video codecs are messed up in windows. Try installing Windows Media Player 9 Series, with full installation. Also try running with the no interlace switch.

Shouldn't need one if you tell windows to not allow programs to detect that they're running in a box.

Yes, I actually found the solution. Run with D-SUB, not DVI. It then works perfectly.

Y'all really are crazy. Let me tell you! Back in the day... here's what I played WC1 and 2 on: 286 at 4. C.O.U.N.T. THEM, FOUR MHz. 1 MB, thats 1024 KB, of RAM an 80 MB HDD (that was huge, no joke) There was no such thing as a discrete video card. I had an 8-bit Sound Blaster. Now...

What kind of video card are you using? I've got a Radeon 9800 Pro with Catalyst 3.9 drivers.

Alright, Half Life 2 is supposed to be coming out within 6 months... It'll be the most technologically and graphically advanced game to date. It seems like there are several opportunities throughout the Wing Commander plotline to have strategy first-person subplots. For instance, rescuing...
