    Frightful Kilrathi Concept Art Surfaces (November 24, 2014)

    I find these concept arts very very nice, but unfortunately when I spotted the mention "Battle-Cats" my brain started hesitating between laughing or weeping. Still stuck as of now.

    Wow, I've been visiting this site for ages and I didn't even know HCl had done such a massive work on Privateer 2! I'll give this one a go asap :-)

    Book Recommendation

    Thanks for the fast answer and for correcting my mistake :) I'll just consider the movie novels separately and try to fit them in more or less chronologically. That and the animated series that I will maybe soon have (at long last :-)) This being said, would anyone recommend a place to...

    Book Recommendation

    Hello again ! I'm digging up this thread as my question is already discussed here :-) I've read recently that the third movie novelization was now available so I figured now would be a good time to start doing some WC reading :-) From what I gather from the above discussion here's the...

    Interlaced movies in Wc3 KS

    I must add that while using this option, I encountered two problems : The first is that sometimes, for no apparent reason, the FMVs switch back to interlaced, don't ask me why, I wasn't able to find a pattern. The second is more annoying, but it might be specific to my config : whenever I...

    Wing Commander Games and Windows XP - A Summary

    Well, I'm glad to announce a happy end ! But I feel stupid for not thinking about this earlier : I only had to turn off the speech before requesting clearance, it appears it was the little speech from Rollins and Eisen that caused the crash...

    Wing Commander Games and Windows XP - A Summary

    Well, without the patch, after a couple of missions the game just keeps crashing, basically everytime it tries to launch an FMV, and since some of those are required to access the mission briefings (plus the fact that I'd really like to watch them :p ), the whole thing became unplayable. I...

    Wing Commander Games and Windows XP - A Summary

    Well it isn't DosBOX, since I use the KS version, with the Win 2000 patch, in Win 2000 compatibility mode. But my operating system is Win XP Pro SP2. The screenshot I attached is what shows up when it crashes, nothing more. From what I've read, at this point of the game, when I require...

    Wing Commander Games and Windows XP - A Summary

    Well, can't seem to edit my post, I'll have to make a new one : (Still talking about WC3 KS) In Locanda System, I reached the mission where I'm supposed to destroy the biological weapons torp'ed toward a planet, managed to destroy the missiles and the destroyer, head back home, and when I ask...

    Wing Commander Games and Windows XP - A Summary

    Okay, let's keep this thread going I guess : I'm currently playing WC3 KS, without the W2K patch (makes the game freeze instantly :( ), and only had one problem when trying to enter the berths to talk to Cobra after the first mission (complete computer lock-up). I was quite happy until I...

    WC2 SO1 bug in mission ?

    Hi everyone ! (Please don't quote this just to answer "Hi Dr Nick !" :p ) I've recently started the WC saga from the beginning, and after succesfully finishing WC1 + SM1 & 2, I went on and played WC2. Right now, I'm stuck with one of the final missions, called "Ghorah Khar 2-B" in your...
