Wing Commander III for the 3DO
Common Issues

General

When I pick my loadout, it is sometimes different in spaceflight.

This problem appears when certain hardpoints are not loaded with any missiles at all. Be certain that you have loaded a missile on each hardpoint on your ship.

Immediately after I take off, the game ejects me! (Mission R002)

Unfortunately, the only thing that Colonel Blair can do in this mission is 'eject.' The war has gone badly for the Confederation and the Kilrathi have won. If you would like to 'get past' this mission, you'll need to go back several saved games and start over. Be sure to win the missions that you lost when you try it a second time.

My game is stuck at the 'Insert Disk X' screen! ( Version F1.10 )

If you are on disks 2-4, and happen to go to the credits, and then click on "New Game," you will be asked to insert disk 1. It will then ask for the credits disk, and then disk 1... over and over, and over. There is no way to break out of the loop until you use an external storage manager utility (for saved games) and delete the saves called 'Wing_3.1.8f.9' and 'Wing_3.1.8f.99' from the 3DO memory.

Once these files are deleted, you will be able to get past the 'Insert Disk X' message, and load a saved game.

I can't land on the Victory in mission K003 after the Behemoth blows up!

To get past this problem, make sure that you do NOT 'taunt' Prince Thrakath. Fly straight toward the Victory, target it (R+A), communicate "need clearance" at 5000 units and land.
