As August 10 got nearer and nearer, rumors have swirled about the status of HCl's Prophecy Multiplayer Patch. Does it really exist? Will it be released on the Birthday? Did HCl die? In fact, he did not, and here he is with a special birthday gift for you! Download the test release of the Wing Commander Prophecy Enhancement Pack here! Unzip it to your Prophecy directory, but note that it will overwrite your Prophecy.exe unless you back it up first. The pack is actually more than just a multiplayer patch. It incorporates the video skip fix, new high resolution upgrade and multiplayer patch all together. Install.exe configures the high res patch, and Multiplayer.exe launches the online component. One person runs the game as the server, and everyone else connects to his IP address in client mode. Stop by #Wingnut to meet up with other players. Have fun! -- Original update published on August 11, 2006
Thanks for releasing this test release, HCL. I played a couple of matches last night on Wingnut and they were all a thrill. Performance was good with five people and playing with Devastators, Vaktoths, Devil Rays and Pete's deadly Panther flying around really made for an explosive experience! Cheers, Bryn
Thanks for the feedback, i'm very glad the test release is being a positive experience for everyone! I'll have my hands full for most of August (RL), so it will be difficult for me to show up in #wingnut in a regular basis.. However, you can bet i'll make an effort to show up from time to time for a game or two ;-) Mário
Thanks again! Thanks again for this update - in my case due to the patches included more than the multiplayer functionality although I'll try that one day! I reinstalled Prophecy and couldn't get the movies to play properly. This software has allowd me to fix that problem. I wish there was a similar patch for the Kilrathi Saga! Musashi
