    WC4 Novelization Complaints

    I didn't like how the novel made Maniac a total cold badass, and not a humorous screwup.

    Something I noticed about WC4...

    Well, two things. 1) Every time Blair and Eisen meet to talk or discuss the mission, Eisen says, "Ah, Colonel!" Always with the "ah!" 2) There is a LOT of consolation patting, usually by Blair. He pats Melek's shoulder, he pats Panther's shoulder, etc.

    What would you do?

    Ahh, I meant movies.

    What would you do?

    Aliens vs. Predator is EASILY the freakiest movie I've ever played. You walk around for like TEN minutes and don't encounter a single thing, it's dark and quiet, and you go down this hallway and out of NOWHERE, an alien comes running towards you. Christ, I nearly crapped my pants. Then...

    What would you do?

    Well, I can only list the things I've played. WC3 - Say, "FINALLY!" and just walk around and talk to everyone and then go out and shoot down some kitties. WC4 - On the Intrepid, I'd go hit on Sosa. Then spend as much time with Vag playing cards as I could before he dies. WCP - Do...

    WC3 help. I mean it. HELP.

    I need to have emm386 running because my Soundblaster 16 emulation needs that to be initialized. So, I actually got WC3 working but it's in full DOS mode and for some reason, my joystick doesn't calibrate correctly. It's all jumpy, even WITH the alternate calibration routine. It's all...

    WC3 help. I mean it. HELP.

    Morphine, you had the same problem? You can install fine and set up everything fine but it ends up crashing on you a few minutes into the game with Exception 13? I'm going NUTS trying to figure this out, man, I hate this. I got it to work a few years ago but I had a different sound card. I'm...

    WC3 help. I mean it. HELP.

    The sound card settings DO match what my SB emulator is supposed to be at. The game works for like a minute perfectly, not a single problem, the sound is perfect, and then it completely crashes and I get the Exception 13 message. This is INCREDIBLY frustrating and infuriating. I know...

    Man, I miss Wing Commander.

    The atmosphere in Wing Commander III and IV are so excellent, probably the best I've ever played in a game of any sorts. The way it almost FEELS like you're there. You get to know your fellow pilots. You get in fights. You have laughs. You have drinks. It's all so wonderful, so fun. Very...

    WC3 help. I mean it. HELP.

    Yup, that's exactly what is it. Exception 13. I figured out that it's STILL a sound problem, as I played the game with no soundcard selected for sound and it runs perfectly. So I guess I gotta figure out what the hell is going on. Anyway, as for getting a copy of CD1, it would be...

    WC3 help. I mean it. HELP.

    Okay, so for the past year or two, I've been attempting to get WC3 up and running on my computer. Athlon TBird 1.7, Windows 98, Soundblast Audigy. Before I upgraded, it worked splendidly, no problems at all. When I DID upgrade, it just wouldn't go at all. I decided today that I would just...

    Who's hottest?

    It was a joke. Someone said Rachel, then someone else said Phoebe. From Friends. Anyway. That pic of Stiletto is very nice, I didn't know she had that nice of a body. Buuuuuuut......I gotta say that I thought Sosa was the hottest of all WC chicks. Very cute, a normal look to her. The...

    Need help with WC3 (two questions)

    1) Don't think so, but would that matter, since it's DOS based? I'll do it anyway, just for poops and giggles. 2. Yup. Reinstalled Windows a while back to make absolutely sure there was no trace of any old drivers. 3. Yes, the old card did have DOS support, and so does my new one. When I...

    Need help with WC3 (two questions)

    Well... Sadly, I can't even get to that point anymore. I just don't understand it. It worked before, I'm PRETTY sure, while running Windows 98. I'm almost positive. Any idears?

    Need help with WC3 (two questions)

    Howdy, folks. I've had a hankerin' for killing some Kilrathi's, but sadly, I just cannot get WC3 to work. I have a Creative Labs Audigy Gamer soundcard. Previously, I had an Aureal Vortex SQ2500 card, and the game worked fabulously, no problems at all. However, with my Audigy card...

    WC:P movie problem fixed, now the game pauses

    Problem Well, I'm guessing it had to do with the Voodoo card, since I downloaded that Voodoo patch from Origin customer support and I put that to use and all my problems went away completely. I have to say though, prior to figuring everything out with the help I got from here, good lord this...

    WC:P movie problem fixed, now the game pauses

    I fixed the Directsound hardware acceleration problem and now the movies play perfectly. The inflight gaming works perfectly fine too! EXCEPT when the damn game pauses and locks up my computer! I can't escape out of the game, I can't get back to Windows at all, and it's always on the second...

    Please help with problems with WC:Prophecy

    Hello, I'm new to this message board, but I've been visiting the site for a while. I bought WCP when it first came out, back then I had an Intense 3d Voodoo card and the game worked perfectly on it. A few years back I upgraded to a Voodoo 3 3000 and just now tried playing WCP again, and much to...
