    A decade of the Wing Commander franchise

    And one day later I've finished False Colors; timed that well given I started all of this almost two years ago. So for the franchise outside of the games: 1. Fleet Action Its a fan favourite and for good reason. What stuck out to me here was how relevant it has become in modern times; a number...

    A decade of the Wing Commander franchise

    A huge part of it is that it runs correctly. I'll have to come back to WC1 PC (and 3) soon, but I just really struggled getting a decent experience out of any version. SM2 seemed better for whatever reason. I think this used to be true for me; hence Wing Commander IV always being my favourite...

    A decade of the Wing Commander franchise

    I've just completed running through all of the main range games (and almost all of the novels/manuals/guides, but I'll touch on those in a separate post). It had been decades since I'd played/read some of the franchise and thought it might be interesting to touch on how it changed my view of it...

    WC4 Remake

    Thanks Wedge! I hadn't considered pre windows 10 to be honest but I've added the xaudio package so hopefully it will work with future releases out of the box.

    WC4 Remake

    I've been going through the code sanity checking and may have found a potential cause. Would you be willing to test a new version? (Or anyone else who is experiencing it).

    Any WC-like game you recommend?

    Yeah, it really was weird as a Wing Commander fan. All those decades later and the art of camera work has been utterly forgotten. And it's not like you could move freely around the ship. Just one static camera, dull dialogue and acting with no investment really hurt the single player for me; I...

    WC4 Remake

    Yeah we've seen that, it's the AMD bug I mentioned in the post just above yours. Some people have seen it fixed by a) Updating their drivers or b) Turning off film grain Unfortunately whilst I have access to a range of GPUs no one uses AMD GPUs because they tend to have driver issues, so if...

    WC4 Remake

    The only rumble device supported is the X-Box controller (VR motion controllers will also have support in the future). As far as I'm aware Force Feedback joysticks just don't exist anymore, and my Sidewinder FF2 broke many many years ago - I don't have the hardware to add support and don't know...

    WC4 Remake

    Actually if it does turn out to be the stardust there's a lot we can do there; shrinking it and making a smaller volume makes it feel faster. When the streaking engages that increases the sense of speed, but we only turn that on close to max speed, we could bring it in at lower speeds. And there...

    WC4 Remake

    Have you tried the fix in the readme for this one? Something about polling frequency; people seeing the issue tend to also see it in GoG. This was a controversial decision internally; in the end we decided that since the original demo had scores with the stormfire (and didn't tell you how to...

    WC4 Remake

    I had intended to make a new thread specifically for feedback but fell sick just before launch. If anyone on the team wants to create one and update the links that'd be great. I'm still half dead.

    Complete WC GOG fixes and tweaks

    Do you have a super wide monitor? I had the same issue and had to manually edit it. I can send you the fixed version if it's the same issue, or point you at the code you need to play with if it's slightly different.

    WC4 Remake

    In your proposed solution you'd have one set of mappings which you would have to change every time you change controller. Even if we let you bind enough inputs for a single function to accommodate every single controller axes interfere with each other. You don't want the axes you've bound for...

    WC4 Remake

    Well Escape won’t go away, it was the default for all games even by Wing Commander Prophecy (and remains so today) - and like prophecy it isn’t only options anymore so that binding wouldn’t make sense. Also the briefing text mentions the key to bring up the pause menu for good measure :) But...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Secret Ops Model Update Pack

    Sorry for the delay, it took me a long time to get back to WCP. I can confirm I'm seeing the same crash: Searching the forums the replacement file found here seems to fix it: https://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/threads/prophecy-frame-rate.31173/page-2

    WC Movie promotional prints

    I'd definitely be interested

    WC4 GOG No Music During Missions

    I'm having the exact same issue, it plays once and then after your first incidental music (usually a kill) - nothing. I'm afraid I don't have a fix for that one (although I do have a patch I cooked up for ultrawide monitors if anyone needs one).

    WC4 Remake

    Do we have any French speakers here willing to help adding French language options? Or for that matter any other languages? We have English, Chinese, German and Japanese so far.

    WC4 Remake

    Didn't mean to sound defensive; just putting what we're doing in context. For stuff like that rather than adding it onto our own backlog the long term goal is to open source so if someone wants to go way down the rabbit hole on visual flourishes, or do some rebalancing or whatever they will be...

    WC4 Remake

    It’s planned but not implemented yet. That said it’s more of a hybrid system anyway; you shouldn’t find your view obscured like in wc1-3, it should feel more like wcp
