    Help with GOG.com versions of WC 1 and 2

    Okay, so I finally got the gog.com versions of WC 1&2. I am running into a problem I can't figure out. When ships get too close, or when there are many ships (e.g. 4 Dralthi in WC1, or in the infamous "escort the bomber" mission in WC 2) things slow down a lot. It's like I am losing frame rates...

    Prophecy skip fix and enhancement pack showing it has Win32:MalOb-IJ [Cryp]

    Okay, I was doing a virus scan today and my installation of Prophecy showed up with Win32:MalOb-IJ [Cryp]. I had my anti-virus delete and, and went to reinstall Prophecy. However, when I tried to download either the Enhancement Pack or the Skip Fix from this site, my anti-virus (Avast) said...

    Avatar vs. Psychopath

    I didn't invent either of the two characters, but as I wrote dialog for them I had a few ways I liked to think of him. Personally- and I know this was not the way he was officially conceptualized and was not actively pursued in the way the game was written- I always thought of Psychopath as...

    Q's anger management thread (chock-full of spoilers!)

    I am sorry of this comment derails the flow of this discussion, but there was something I wanted to clarify based on a conversation I recently had. Earlier in this thread, I posted about how Saga was written by multiple authors and how the process of trying to work together and reconcile our...

    Q's anger management thread (chock-full of spoilers!)

    Quarto, As one of Saga’s writers, I thought I would share a few thoughts. Writing Saga was a very interesting experience. Saga’s story was originally the brain child of one author. He had a specific vision for all the characters and for the story as a whole, and he has a style which is fairly...

    New Fan Project Brings Freelancer Home (April 1, 2012)

    You know, I would actually play this mod if it wasn't an April Fools joke.

    Wing Commander Saga Marks Download Record (April 1, 2012)

    This has long been a secret of the development team, but the vast majority of our publicity attempts have actually been to people who are dead and/or undead. This represents an enormous demographic that has largely been ignored by both retail products and fan projects, and as a team we...

    Tolwyn's plan for Blair

    The way I see it, recruiting Blair was a brilliant move. If he joined the cause, it would add legitimacy and public support for Tolwyn's actions. He could be the hero that fought for Tolwyn, even if he did not understand what Tolwyn was doing. If he died in that process, he would become a martyr...

    Possible video card issue?

    Sorry, I can see that I wasn't clear. I got the computer 6 years ago, and at that point in time I placed the 7600 in, replacing the 7300. I have been running this exact same rig all that time, and I have never had any trouble. No hardware has changed in all that time. No driver changes for some...

    Possible video card issue?

    Hmm... I don't think that is the case, but it may be my lack of technical knowledge. It is a PCIe card and I have been running the same rig for 6 years, including this same video card.

    Possible video card issue?

    Is it appropriate for me to ask a general, non WC specific tech support question in hope that some of you computer savvy folks may have an answer for me? As I said previously, I have been trying to get all WC games functioning on my computer. I recently installed Standoff. As I was testing it...

    Privateer 2 Video problem: black lines

    Thanks for the speedy reply (I guess it helps if you know the right term when you're searching, doesn't it? I learned something new today.). Knowing that, I will just enjoy it the way it is.

    Privateer 2 Video problem: black lines

    So, gog.com's WC releases inspired me to see if I could get my old WC games working (caveat: I am not a computer genius in any sense of the word, so my attempts have been anything but elegant). I have gotten Privateer 2 working in Dosbox and so far everything is working well (no crashes when...

    Community request: writing generic wingmen lines.

    Thanks for all the help so far! We could still use a few more, if anyone else would like to take a crack at it.

    Community request: writing generic wingmen lines.

    This is just a friendly bump to see if anyone will be willing to take a shot at this. :)

    Community request: writing generic wingmen lines.

    We appreciate the discussion that has gone on in the last week or so, and we are trying to take your feedback to heart. We recognize this community knows Wing Commander better than any other, and we'd love to have your help with a task that will speed along the release of Saga. As you may...

    Divorces

    Do you really want to do something to encourage their animosity towards each other? Isn't that what caused the problems in the first place? If you don't like them fighting, then don't try to profit from their fights. It gives them and you less incentive to have the problems.

    Divorces

    I know I have not posted here for a long time (I visit frequently but have not had time to post). I just want to strongly agree with everything that LOAF said, even though I am one of those guys who also likes Freespace. :) The other piece of advice I would give is to avoid doing anything to get...

    Long Day

    I once had "Straight Up Now, Tell Me" by Paula Abdul stuck in my head for three straight days... and I have not listened to it for years, I have never owned a copy of it. It just emerged from the abyss and invaded my mind. Those were a long three days... Although I rather enjoy it when I have...

    Wing Commander: Hostile Frontier (Landreich campaign previews)

    Sounds like the player would be a Landreich pilot.
