    Kilrathi Saga vs DOSBox, how I played WC again

    I'm experiencing the 'Secret Missions crash the game' problem myself. For me, it just crashes when I'm not using Win95 compatibility mode, but the video and audio stutters with compatibility mode on. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Alternatively, if there is no solution...

    wc4 in dosbox

    The WCIV patch was official; it came with Kilrathi Saga.

    Privateer, unlikely solution!

    I've been having problems recently with the first exploratory mission. It's not the pirates; it's that the pirates are in the asteroid field that causes trouble. I was using FF missiles, though; would IR missiles work better?

    WCP: Does Lance Casey have a default callsign?

    'Maverick' is pre-entered as default in the Kilrathi Saga versions of WCI and II (i.e. when you see the callsign text box, it's already there).

    WCP: Does Lance Casey have a default callsign?

    I want to use it when I start WCP again, as I'm the sort of person who puts default names/callsigns/etc. in.

    How would I transfer WCIV savegames to another computer?

    I suppose that would work, as WC4 is an older game and doesn't need Registry entries or anything. Thanks.

    How would I transfer WCIV savegames to another computer?

    I tried just moving the files, but that didn't work. Is there another file? If so, which one?

    WC3/WC4 Dialogue hotspots

    In the Victory's elevator, if you click on a floor and then quickly click the exit, you'll get off on that floor without going through the elevator up/down cinematic. I know it works in the KS version, anyway.

    Concerning the Kilrathi Saga manual...

    Really? Oh. However, the KS manual also has the same guns, missiles, and armor for the Thunderbolt and Longbow. That's not right...

    Concerning the Kilrathi Saga manual...

    The part describing all the ships seems inaccurate. On my copy, about the Hornet, it has these lines: Missile Hardpoints (3 x 2): 2 DF / 2 DF 2 HS But I've flown the Hornet, and I know it only has 2 DF and 1 HS. Unless they're double missiles or something, but they don't seem...

    The Excalibur is atmospheric-capable as well, though.

    More Bearcat action for WC4?

    If it was a MIP mission, you need hardpoints for those, so you can only use the Avenger (sometimes Vindicator). Also, in the mission that ends with the 'capture transport' part, you have to use a Border Worlds fighter so you'll have Leech cannons.

    Run All Old WC Games in DOSBox Walkthrough

    On Privateer... For some reason, when I increased the number of CPU cycles in the configuration file, it went slower. I had it up to 30000 and it was like molasses. When I put it back to 10000, it was fast again.

    Morningstar==>Stilleto

    One thing I noticed is that the armament and speed of the Stiletto is the same as that of the Super Ferret (WC2 Special Ops). Mass drivers are nowhere near as good in Privateer, though.
