New Standoff Patch Updates Game to 1.28
Two new Standoff patches have been released that fix a bunch of lingering issues. The game's auto-updater should download and install the update once players have it enabled and connect to the internet. Version 1.28 supersedes 1.27, so existing 1.26 users will skip ahead to the latest version. A downloadable patch will be released after this update is stabilized. The team depends on your bug reports to help them continue to squash issues, so players are encouraged to report anything that they encounter!
Here is a list of issues which should be fixed:
- More ATI cards users should now be able to use the new Enhanced Lighting effect (unfortunately it might not help getting HDR to work for more people yet; tis is still under work)
- Added an alternate Enhanced Lighting routine option in the "Troubleshooting" section of the launcher options
- Fixed the number of Crossbows that are available at the start of Episode 5 winning path
- Fixed the crash that occurs when you try to click "Talk to group" after winning the final Episode 5 mission
- Fixed a crash that occurs in the Episode 5 losing path flying the Arrow
- Fixed a crash that occurs in the Episode 5 losing path chasing capship missiles
- Prevents an original bug from WCP where skipping your death/ejection scene would lead to a crash, by disallowing the skipping of the scene
- Spoons status now correctly reported in Episode 5
- Slight visual/audio fixes in earlier episodes
- Fixed some spelling mistakes in subtitles
- Other minor fixes
- Fixed a small error in the OpenGL renderer prevented the new 1.27 Enhanced Lighting fix for ATI cards from working properly

Making the Game: Mission System
This flowchart shows how the "Master Control Program" works... and that's about all I can say. It seems to be some sort of non-linear mission tree system, something which didn't make it into the finished game.
These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!
Please note that the "Download" link points to an older-style Visio file; these do not open in Microsoft's current Visio viewer. We have converted the VSD into a graphic which can be viewed by clicking on the document thumbnail.
