    No; the files in that thread were only posted a day or two ago, well after the 1.0 release.

    Can We Have A Sticky Thread For All Known Bugs?

    The Destinee (not Desiree) missions are from a plotline that was not in the original Privateer. They have nothing to do with the RF plotline.

    Joystick not recognized in Windows

    Ah, you have another controller attached; that can confuse the OS. Generally a game that supports only a single controller, as I assume the Vegastrike engine does, will look at ID1. I assume the Nostromo was probably on ID1. I use comments when neccessary. There's not a lot of them there, but...

    Remake of the music of the Privateer

    Opinions from a professional musician: - You need more dynamic range in your orchestra. Right now background ostinatos are overpowering the "melody" in many parts of the track. - Your timpani sound very weird. Someone said that they need more reverb - incorrect; they need more sustain, so...

    Upgrades

    Instead of downgrading them, I would simply deactivate certain levels. "s" and "S" activate 2/3 and 1/3 of your shiled power. That way you can turn them back to full if you ever feel the need.

    Demon Or Centurion ?

    Not much use for more than one tractor beam, either...

    Upgrades

    Again - you can't without hacking the game. In the original you could only get a level 3 until Righteous Fire, and it is the same in the Remake.

    Target leading in turret AI.... how?

    What's up with you, LOAF? Don't like the mod, fine? Don't bash it here in its own forum. That's one of the rudest things I've ever seen. The vast majority of those participating in the forum are here to enjoy the Remake and make it better. And you calling the game "crappy" - is that not...

    The Oxford missions

    Well, there is no softare company here. There are a few guys in college. There a few more who tested this thing and/or created artwork, ripped stats and media from the original, etc. If I had to guess I'd say the average age of the entire team is in the low- to mid-20s. Neither Privateer...

    Pitched battle with one *HELL* of a payout!

    I bet the Drayman didn't make it either.... 17? Ouch.

    The Oxford missions

    The problem is that the Kilrathi will attack the merchant that you are escorting.

    Jump Point pause w/ 1024MB?

    Happens with me, too, and I also use 1024MB. I don't think it's a memory problem - the engine has to generate a new system when you jump in. This means it is figuring out who is there, why they are there, if they are going to shoot at you or not, etc. I think it's simply the CPU chugging away...

    Help with start

    Helen is not the capital of Gemini; that would be New Constantinople. Maybe try all of the important planets: Oxford New Detroit New Constantinople Perry

    Joystick not recognized in Windows

    You use a joystick with no centering springs?!? That must be... interesting.

    Joystick not recognized in Windows

    As I'm sure you've guessed, it's rather stiff for a space sim. If I'm in a lengthy fight, I need to pause every once and a while and shake out my right arm. It really would be better to play with a lighter stick, but once used to the Cougar, I really can't ditch its programmability. Anyway...

    New ship purchased, but RADAR is still mounted in the old one?

    You have to sell them from your old ship and purchase them again. I beleive this was how it worked in the original as well.

    I prefer this map. More nostalgia. :)

    Purchases going missing

    Tractor capabilty does not add a tractor beam to a gun you alreqady have; it adds the ability to add a tractor beam to that mount. After you purchase the tractor capability, you must then purchase a tractor beam and place it on the mount that you gave tractor ability to.

    Impressions and Opinions

    You doubt most people have joysticks? I don't see why. This is a game that simulates flying. Therefore, a joystick is necessary to play as intended, IMO.
