has anyone had any problems running WC 2 from the Kilrathi Saga in Windows XP? the animations get all screwy and go really fast and/or really slow in the cockpit and in the cutscenes. i've tried doing the windows 95/98 compatibility modes but no dice. any suggestions are welcome
thanks
 
I could never get the KS WC2 to work correctly in XP, so I spent about 100 dollars and got a WC machine with Win 98 on it and have every WC game ever produced on it :) Doesn't help you I know, have you tried holding down shift while in space flight? I don't think there is anything that will help with the cutscenes, but you might try turning off the hardware acceleration in the dxdiag.exe utility (from the command line).

C-ya
 
do you know what the command is to turn off hardware acceleration?
thanks
 
ok, i just played it, and i guess iw as wrong. the space flight is EXTREMELY slow...everything stutters, gameplay and sound and voice... any ideas?

in the cut scenes like during a mission briefing the character's lips move at a mile a minute..if you read one screen and try to click a button to goto the next, the next is skipped and goes to the one after that...its really weird...

ahhh i need help
 
I can't even get WC1 or WC2 to start. I keep getting the following error:

DirectDraw Error

ERROR: 0 in DIBinstall DIBcascade Failure


I know I've used KS in WinXP before...could this error be a result of DX9? Any of you guys use KS on XP with DX9?
 
ya im running dx9..

i loaded up wc2 on my k6-2 350 i got and it works fine speed...now i need another sound card to just play it...
 
I had the same problem too with my Kilrathi Saga version of WC2 on XP.

But i figured out how to solve that problem.

Basically what u need to do is copy the entire WC2 game somewhere on ur harddrive. Set it to run in Windows 95 mode. And then play it! Simple as that. And it works perfectly!

:-D
