Yes, they can be made to work for space combat, but none of the strengths of a BSP engine apply to that environment. Its not even worth generating a BSP tree, because the optimum tree is one huge leaf covering the entire play area. (Unless asteroids count as static terrain, but they are...

One problem with starbreeze doing a Wing Commander game - their site says that they do all their work in the Starbreeze engine, and they are not going anything resembling a classic WC game in that, it seems to be a BSP engine (Think quake, Unreal Tournament, Source, etcetera) best suited for...

Do a repair installation, that may fix it. The problem is that windows is trying to boot using chipset drivers for another chipset. This is, in general, not going to work.

If I remember rightly, the spec for playing MPEG in software was 350Mhz. Below that, you needed a hardware decoder. Of course, the celeron was slower than the equivalent pentium. Id suggest a newer machine.

Ethernet should be at least 100Mb/s on anything close to modern hardware. Check your network and eliminate any interfaces that are running at 10Mb/s, the whole network runs at the speed of the slowest interface.

Tried Virtual PC? Ive got debian and win98 running in it, it emulates a really old graphics card than win3.1 should like.

If that was recent, theres probably a fix over at the developers wiki. The orange box update has a number of problems, but most of them are fixable or at worst you can work around them.

It wants WVC1 - so WMP11, or the standalone beta of that codec may still be available. My version of VLC didnt play it, but there could be an updated version.

Have they fixed the joystick problems in VirtualPC yet? I'm not fond of mouse flight.

Yeah, I got it. Except for one Targu, don't you hate it when you fire the last torpedo in the mission and it turns out you're just far enough off center that the torpedo misses? Shouldnt try to rush these things. Then again, one Targu isn't enough to slow down a crossbow, so no matter. The...

Theres only two Ralatha in that mission .. unless you're being Evil, of course. Another destroyer and escort jumping in after the player thinks he's in the clear? I wouldn't put it past you lot. But the debrief screen did say 100% killed. And 100% Kamekh. And 62% Targu. And mission failed. I am...

Anyone know what needs killed for a victory in Clearing the Path? Just got through with a decent run, the rapiers actually killed kats at a reasonable rate, Targu II's down all over the place, one Ralatha down .. failed. Whats more critical? The Ralatha, eliminating more Targu?

User Account Control - its the system which enforces the limited rights various users have on the system. Unfortunately, windows didnt even attempt to be a multi-user system until quite late in the game, and many older programs are written under the assumption that every user has full admin...

The Kilrathi Saga versions are win32 exectuables and thus, as they say, cannot be run in DOS - which DOSbox emulates. You'll need to find a way to run them under windows.

You need to use torpedos, but they must be targeted against the bridge and engine components. The engine does allow for guns with the capability to kill cap ships, but there are no such weapons during the time period Standoff is set in.

You're on the losing track, so you are doomed. The dreadnoughts are eventually killable, but they'll just send in another one.

The secret ops website went down ages ago. Somewhere on this site, you can download an offline fiction viewer and the fiction files.

Right click on the executable, go into properties, go into the compatibility tab. For a game of Starlancers age, try win2K/98 mode. Starlancer runs fine for me on XP so that one may be worth a go as well. Google says that at least one person has it running on Vista with no problems, indicating...

Google for winRAR, it handles anything winzip will handle plus some more. There are a few formats it doesn't handle, but those aren't commonly used.

You should give it another go - you only play as Young Cal for the tutorial missions.
