I just let my subscription expire on Dead Disc Doctor. Maybe I should re-up it since it had saved a lot of my old games. I think in this case, my disc 4 is officially dead. Last time I used it was like 10 years ago. Problem is, I jewel cased discs 1-3 and left 4 sitting around for 10 years...

Just made it to disc 4 and realized I have a huge scratch all the way across the disc. Non recoverable using disc recovery software. Can anyone email me the contents of disc 4, WC3? richglennon@yahoo.com

Kill me for double post. I figured it out. When I go out to Nav1, I should be fighting on my own. After I down the 3 Corvettes, I sit back and pick the bombers at my leisure. Even though they run at and shoot torpedoes, my carrier is 1,000,000 K away. I have a ghost carrier. It is capable...

Using DOSBox 7.2. I am getting a feeling that this might be my problem too, I mean render rates. Right after I kill the last Corvette, I go after the bombers. They are moving so quick towards the carrier, I use up all afterburner to catch them. Sometimes I defeat them. Then all of a sudden...

Playing WC3 in DosBox at Ace level. Something happened though. I now have Kitty Vaktoth bombers going at insane speeds. Playing the hardest mission in the whole game when you are in an Arrow vs. 3 Corvettes to start. After defeating the 3 Corvettes, I turn around to fight the incoming...

Can anyone spare the following file: cd2movie.tre. Guess I got a scratch. My game wont procede from disc2 using original disc set. This is the file it is stuck on.

Wow, this started as game and ended in WW2. If we had given way, California would be speaking Japanese and East Coast would be speaking German. What is the point of this argument anyway? We havent won/resolved an activity/war since then. Korea = standoff to this day. USS Pueblo. Viet...

Has there been any files to use the MS sidewinder in WC3? It was nice to have in 4. Also, I am getting WC3 to work fine thru DosBox running straight off the discs. I realize that there is a Intall.TRE on Disc 1, but cant run it anymore. Seems to be OK with just running off Disc with full...

Duble post. Got it working finally. Now I just need to figure out the code for joystick control to use the twist option with sidewinder. Since the game was written so early, I dont know if there is a way to do so. The game allows <> as rotate keys. Early joystick code was really simple. I...

Have gone back to play WC3 using dosbox. Finally got it working. Problem is, video is playing in a very thin rectangle across the top of the screen. Anyone know where I need to edit?

Final post for WC4. I am playing it thru at the easiest setting and all is working out. Playing thru at Ace or Veteran level was fun back when this ran in Win95, but that dont cut the mustard anymore.

Found it. Switched from Veteran to Ace and now my lasers can puncture armor. Veteran aint working right.

Figured something out. Again I was playing the Bearcat. I sat behind another Bearcat in the capture Concordia class mission. I hit him with my guns tons of times so his shields were gone. Then I had my wingman get on my wing. So his whole ship was red. I sat behind him for 10 minutes...

Sorry for the double post. I got a Bearcat with auto aiming. I sat behind a fighter and blasted. Not 1 of my shots hit. I had him flat plane against my guns. Nada. So only missiles work in this game. Wow, what a waste of a joystick.

Actually, after complaining, I am wrong. Certain missions are actually harder than others no matter the settings or wingmen. In some missions, you can tag down fighters with just lasers. In others, you must use missiles. I always wanted WC4 to be relevant, but often forget it was written...

WC4 has alot of future talent. Rhys-Davies as Gimli. Malcolm McDowell as the original porno crisco king (Caligula) plus a multitude of parts. Paulsen (John Spencer) ended up on West Wing for many years till he croked. Mark Dacascos (Catscratch) became a straight to DVD karate action hero...

I am playing and dropped down to Veteran level. I am right on the tail of a fighter hitting it with lasers. I am hitting it hard because I can see the graphics of each hit. Also, the back end is red colored on the display. Meanwhile, Maniac is behind me and has taken out 3 fighters in the...

True that. Just figured out how to play again. Joystick way out of practice. Still, joystick isnt as snappy as it used to be, or was it always this bad? Probably a mixture of both. I am finding if I play the game on Veteran or Easy, I can actually play through. It used to be Ace or Hard...

Must be the joystick. W/o the patch I cant even use it. W/ the patch the thing is so jumpy. I try to stare down a straight on shoot and by the time I've actually centered the thing, it has already flown by me. Maybe I will try the mouse. I will give the joystick patch 1 thing though. I...

Just started playing again using the windows patch and joystick patch. Its been 7-8 years. I was playing on ace level to start, and now on easiest level cause I cant kill anything with lasers, only missiles. I do remember playing this game when I could actually take out another fighter with...
