I'm running a PC with a 350Mhz Processor, 256 Mb RAM with a 32Mb GeForce MX Graphics card under Win2k. I have patched WCP to run under 2K and the game now starts without issue. The problem I have is that the game now cuts out at apparently random times. I have reduced this a little by lowering...

A big Amen to AzraeL... How many time have you been flying a devestator in WCP and destroyed a capships engines with the plasma cannon before even locking on the first torpedo. I always ended up using the torpedo as the method of dispatch for the poor craft;). Plus the number of fighters...

I love it when the American press blames music, film or video games for people getting shot or killed. Maybe they should just ban most firearms like almost every other civilised country on the planet. Although they do say that it isn't guns that kill people, its people that kill people. Indeed...

Going back to the original post... Has anyone read the Night's Dawn Trilogy (The Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist and The Naked God) by Peter F Hamilton? It's a little scary in size (3.4 million words, the term 'space opera' applies) but it has to be one of the finest SF books...

I agree with LeHah, if you wanted to make a new WC series then it would need something to revitalise it. Maybe you could set it in the same universe with the same confed but the script would have to be somewhat more complex than the game. The game had a pretty good plot but a) its already...

No, I have an aureal card, although it seems to be soundblaster compatible (at least before I upgraded to win 2k).

It's a shame that there are no plans for MP WCP. The possibilities are amazing. Co-operative missions with your friends as wing men, deathmatches, team games... That would keep the entire WC community occupied for tears. And what about skins? You could fly your own ship and shape it like a...

I'm still pretty new to the WC community here so I might have missed something but... There seem to be plenty of projects featuring mods for the WC games but (apart from Amarda) there seems to be no mention of multiplayer WC. I'd love to see a mod for WCP to play online against real players...

I managed to find a site to download the directx 8.1 beta (http://www.abitboy.com/). Unfortunately it does not seem to have corrected the problem. Decreasing the hardware acceleration to my soundcard seems to help, but the game still crashes after a few minutes in combat (usually during an...

Now I've got a real challenge for the techies... WCP crashes on my computer every time I get an in-flight comm. I know I can turn off the comms completly and this seems to prevent the computer crashing. Unfortunatly WCP is almost unplayable without the comms as you don't know what you are...

and all because I wanted a patch.... jesus christ...

Sorry I know I shouldn't have really posted this kind of message on this board. I was really desperate to get the file and there was more traffic on this board so I thought there was a better chance of getting it. I shouldn't have done it though. Sorry

Would replacing the graphics card solve the problem? Its pretty ancient anyway. Any suggestions of a cheap card that works well with wing commander and half-life?

In that case, does anyone have any more ideas about what might be causing the problem? It's driving me crazy to have a little taste of the game but not the whole experience.

Yeah. The latest drivers for the card are installed and the game still crashes after a few seconds (immediately during missions and at varying times in the simulator). Would installing the Direct 3d upgrade patch correct the problem?

I've just added the Win2k patch for Prophecy and was able to play WCP for the first time in 6 months (yay). Unfortunaely, after just a few seconds of play (but several minutes in the simulator)the program crashes, leaving me with the error message 'The instruction at "0x00436187" referenced...

Does anyone know where to get the patch to run WCP on win2k (apart from wcnews.com as the link is not working)? If anyone could send the file to me I would be very grateful. Email me - jammyo2k@yahoo.co.uk Thanx

Hi Can anyone tell me where to get the win 2k patch for WCP. The files section on WCnews.com is still not working fully so I can't download it from there. If anyone could send me the file via email or give me an alternative download site I would be very grateful Email on...
