Slow computers and DOSbox is not a good combination - I know that its an old game and the original specification is miniscule by todays standards, but emulating that old hardware is expensive. If you have a faster computer, run DOSbox on that, otherwise look into running WC3 natively rather than...

Saitek Cyborg, any version. I have the Evo wireless. Avoid the wireless if you can. Pain in the neck, needs to be reset every time I pick it up. Doesnt eat too much in the way of batteries though, not compared to my mouse. If you can find a store which still has a joystick display (My local PC...

I have to disagree with that - Neither the Behemoth nor the T-bomb would truly satisfy Tolwyn. The problem is, in neither plan do we outfight the Kilrathi, instead we exploit their unstable homeworld and a convinient backdoor jump point. In a straight fight, humanity will lose, because the...

Sonar? In space?

Additionaly, the 286 is a 16-bit processor, nothing written these days will run on it unless you write it specificaly for the 16-bit memory model, and compile in 16 bits. The 386, on the other hand, is a proper 32-bit CPU and most code written today can be compiled to run on it (albeit slowly)...

I knew I forgot to link something. I generaly have better luck with dgVoodoo rather than zeckensacks: http://dege.freeweb.hu/ It works very well with the original Iwar, but I havent tried it with WCP.

Your card can do those, but the direct3D renderer in the Vision Engine might not be able to do so. It may be worth trying to run in Glide mode with a glide wrapper - the glide renderer is known to give better results than Direct3D. The WCP multiplayer patch is here...

Has anyone heard anything about WC:Arena coming on PC? It just seems to be a waste to spend £270 on a console, who knows how much for a good TV and have to start paying a TV license, all for a £6 game.

IIRC, the background of that ship is that she was a merchantman of the East India Trading Company, sunk when Sparrow refused to trade in slaves, then refloated by Davey Jones and renamed the Black Pearl.

IIRC, this was because the artists put a lot of detail into those textures, not realising what would happen when they dropped the resolution for mapping onto the in-game models. I wonder if the hi-res textures are available anywhere, and if they could be modded into the game.

Create a shortcut to WC3W.exe. Go into the properties of that shortcut, and add '-NO_INTERLACE' to the end of the 'target' field.

Use the command line paramater "-NO_INTERLACE"

Theres an option somewhere in the application compatability toolkit (downloadable from microsoft) which sounds like it may fix this issue.

The md5 checksum of movies.tre is: 185AE88030B809DD99BE5D2BCC3876C1 Download something like fastsum, and if it generates the same checksum, your copy of the file is identical to mine, and the problem lies elsewhere.

With current equipment, it'd have to be within the solar system. Look at the wikipedia article on Pluto - thats the highest resolution possible at that distance. With a sufficiently wide baseline visual interferometer, we could image that planet, but to get any real detail it would have to...

Alcohol 52% or 120% depending on what the difference is and if you actually need it.

Should work. However, while windows has this sophisticated controller management, many games just use the first controller in the list. Theres a program out there called 'JoyIDs', which will let you put the flightstick to the top of the list. With any luck, the game will then recognise it.

That may be true, but you cant sign up from outside the US or Canada: Ah well. Its not as if my old copy of WC1 is impossible to run.

That time of year already?

That game .. that installer .. what the **** were origin thinkin when they wrote that installer. No subdiectories ... nightmare. Anyway .. if you understand how DOSbox virtual filesystem relates to the real one, simply create a dark directory in the correct place. Otherwise, its probably...
