That's good info. Ugh, I really hate asking this here but searching on google didn't help me out at all. Where is the NVidia Control Panel supposed to be on Vista? I read online that it's supposed to be pretty clearly visible on your desktop but it's not on mine and I can't find the thing...

I think it's just necessary to commend the quality of the voice acting in Standoff. It's really excellent all around, I enjoy it. There's some oddities here and there (the Clydesdale pilots and the TCS Verdun in ep 3 sound weird/funny!) but they're few and far between. In particular if I...

Looks exactly like what I had before I upgraded my drivers. Have you tried that?

About the mission in question and the failure to autopilot: I tested it again and when I DID NOT retreat from Nav 1, when I destroyed all the fighters and left via the autopilot, the trigger activated as scripted at Nav 2 with all the Concordia and Stingray coms and I was able to finish the...

I tested it last night. Connie and Stingray do no talking, auto-light doesn't come on. You're just kinda stuck here. I'd be willing to bet that it's the same for eddieB.

Yes that's exactly what I did at Nav 1, afterburned away. Wasn't able to destroy all the objectives and Bradshaw ordered the retreat. Wonder if that has something to do with it. I'll test some more right now.

New problem cropped up. In ep 5's winning path, after

I'm running an Intel Duo 2.26 P8400 with a 9600M GT card.

Question: For those of us who crash whenever HDR is turned on, is that a patchable error? Or is it our hardware?

My buddy is off in the Navy sailing around S. America but he's eagerly anticipating getting back to the States next month so he can play Standoff and a slew of other games. I wrote him this e-mail 'mini review' of Standoff, thought I'd post it in this thread too. Spoiler free for his benefit...

Same, only crashes for me right now when HDR is on. Does so... eh, 5 - 10 minutes into any given mission. If the mission's short enough I can get through it without a crash though!

I LOVE YOU ALL! *downloads*

Greetings all! Playing through ep 5, just entered the system with the and am on the mission when you . As soon as I exist auto-pilot at Nav 1 I crash and get the error message in the attached file. This happens every time.

One other problem. When you're defending Firekka from capship torpedoes... um... isn't it too easy to hit her one too many times and get branded a traitor? I was just chasing down some torps ABOUT to hit her, a couple shots landed on her shields, and whammo 'traitors never win'.

i auto failed S&R. crossbow jumped, cutscene of getting attacked, Crossbow jumped back and mission failed. Wtf?

Just to report, I'm getting a consistent crash in the destroyer/carrier attack mission in episode 3. Always happens (4 times now) a few minutes after reaching the Snakeir. Not sure if it's the memory bug because it happens each time regardless of whether it's the first mission I play or not.

My mistake! I was going by the '04 - '09 release dates but of course it makes sense that you all didn't START Standoff in '04. Silly me. EIGHT years of development then! Just makes my point even more. cush retirement is in order!

Going off what LOAF said, realistically speaking I honest to god don't know if there's sufficient interest in the space sim genre right now for EA to do a serious relaunch of Wing Commander. My intuition says no. I really do believe there's people at EA who would love to bring back Wing...

Silly people clamoring for Standoff 2 already. Go replay Standoff's losing path missions you punks :p

No kidding? Didn't know that. I'll have a good time replaying Standoff and exploring all its little nooks and crannies. Like that "easter egg" losing path episode 2 mission that happens if you fail to destroy the Kilrathi capship. That's a great mission that a lot of people never see.
