I'm out of ideas then. With my Kilrathi Saga, WC3's movies play with spikes of interference and skips. Nothing I do with hardware acceleration helps (unlike Prophecy). Playing it in a window with alt + enter reduces, but does not eliminate it. The DOS WC3 I have plays the movies just fine...

What operating system do you use? What computer? It sounds like you have other running programs that may be interfering with the game. If so, use alt-ctrl-delete to shut down all nonessential running programs. Also, make sure your anti-virus is NOT set to scan all files all the time, as this...

Unfortunately, there is no crusade.wld file in my WC1/gamedat file in KS version, ands an old crusade.wld file in a DOS install will not transfer to WC2 - I get something to the effect of there being no file found to transfer.

Hi all. I am just starting WC2 and in transferring the personnel records over, my only choices are a DOS file or the file from WC1 prior to the secret missions. I can't seem to transfer over my Lt. Col rank or over 300 kills. I have to settle for Major, and 113 kills. Is there a work-around...

Well, I guess some of my questions/comments were of a technical nature, but I didn't think technical support was going to answer them as much as, say, tactics I was just missing. I reinstalled WC1 under DOS from the deluxe version CD and if moslo is set below 20% the play is erratic and varied...

Is it me, or is WC I almost impossible to complete without cheats? The DOS version doesn't play worth a darn on my 400 Celeron, even with moslo (there is no option to disable cache in my bios). The Kilrathi Saga version (from the 7/2000 PC Gamer CD) results in my digital joystick...

Re: Valiant Lt Forget about torpedoes vs cat corvettes. In sim mission 3, use charging mass drivers and darts/dragonflys against the fighters, boosting front shields. Then take out the "Kilrathi" (Confed) transport, and the starbase if you wish, with torpedoes, and, after getting the...

Well, here's how it goes: You kill kats in your Vampire while waiting for Maestro to show up in his crappy Pirahna to do a suicide mission so you can get home in time to watch Springer. Actually, I think you are referring to sim mission 4, where, in the second 5 minutes, wingmen 1 by 1 show...

I've been playing Prophecy for over 2 years now on and off, and generally have little trouble winning, but I have never had any luck with this mission, except at rookie. It keeps ending before I can return to the Midway, and says I have lost, despite having kills of at times over 130!!! I have...

WC3 I've just been replaying WC 3. I play through Win 98 and a digital USB joystick (Saitek Gold) and I have little luck. The default joystick configuration is useless, as the stick drifts and moves in directions different from my movement. The joystick patch is a poor improvement, as while...

Hi. I have only played WC3 a couple of passes through. I never have much luck in a T-Bolt. Autosliding in an Arrow vs corvette I still manage to get shot up often, but otherwise, autoslide or torpedo is the way to go. In a longbow you gotta torpedo them. Seems to me that you must be a good...

The map on the back of the reference card seems inaccurate. It indicates there are 4 jumps between Karatikus and Hades, while in the game 9 jumps were required. Also, the displayed nav map does not seem to correspond with the reference card's map.

Hi all. I have been unable to get my digital joystick to calibrate for P2, while running it under Win 98. I am forced to unplug it from the USB port and use a cheap gameport analog stick, with poor gameplay. I am forced to run it under windows if I want proper sound playback of the movies -...

Hi. I had trouble with Privateer as well, mostly having to do with too much RAM, smartdrive causing problems, and too little memory to use the CD. All I can suggest is that you try these lines: Config.sys: DOS=HIGH,UMB buffershigh=5 fileshigh=20 lastdrivehigh=("D", or "E", or...
