I agree. And there's no reason to ever get the Gold Sun, except deliberately....or unless you're playing wc in some kind of "iron man" style.

Where are you ejecting for your Golden Sun? I think I did it on one of the no-medal Venice missions...after I ran my kill score up a bit.

I failed to get the Silver for McAuliffe 3 (saved the drayman, but didn't get Bhurak. Just didn't feel like doing it again for some reason) and I couldn't save the Ralari, which cost me another Silver, but sent me to the Rostov series for the medals there. As far as I can recall, I've only...

Poster Easter Egg? Where/what is it exactly?

Well, I'm no great shakes anymore, but when I replayed WC about 3 months ago, I ended up with the following in my last save, after completing Venice 3: 5 Gold, 3 Silver, 3 Bronze, and 1 eject medal (Gold Sun?, the name escapes me for the moment. Ejected on purpose from a mission I couldn't...

I'm going to skip uninstalling Power DVD; however, the Radlight Filter Manager that you link looks interesting. My only concern is this section of documentation: Do you know if the merit values in the list are all standard or what merit value I should set for to get the movies to play? I...

No go I'm afraid. I dled it and tried it, but got the same error msg. When I saw the register was mpeg2dec.zip, I knew I was in trouble. I'd actually already downloaded it from CIC and tried it with the same result yesterday. I didn't put two and two together that the register you were...

I downloaded the two available at CIC, v. 1.0 and 1.2. Neither has an executable. Both just have two files: dxmci.dll and mpeg2.dll.

Is that Gulikoza's v. 1.2 DVD patch for WC4? What about the AC3 Filter. Is that something that might help? I don't really want to screw up my Power DVD as I watch films sometimes on this pc. Worst case scenario is that I just play WCP w/o the DVD movies and live with it. :)

In fact, I've got Power DVD installed. Do I disable it through msconfig startup? There's a couple of items in there that are DVD-related.

My current gaming pc is a P4 3.4 (dual core), 2 gigs RAM, GF6800GT, Audigy 2, XP SP2. The video card's my weak point atm, but I wouldn't think that'd matter with old games.

Gonna need some help here. I can't get WCP to work with the hi-res DVD movies. I had the game installed before with the followng files added: prophecy_video_fix.zip, wcphr.zip, d3d.zip and glidewrapper084.exe and it ran fine except for the reduced movie size at 1280x1024 res. I downloaded...

Yes, you're right. I installed HC1's hi-res patch and am running WCP at my FPD's native res, 1280x1024. Sorry I didn't mention that in the OP, but I installed the game a couple of months ago and forgot about it. All I recalled was the speed-fix video patch. I'll dl the DVD movies and see...

I installed WCP a while back and patched it so that the movies run at normal speed, instead of super fast. The movies run fine, but are reduced in size so that they only use the center of my FPD. Is there any way to run the movies full-screen? Thanks for any info.

The receipt in the box indicates I bought WC4 on 2/13/96 at Egghead Software. I probably played it for a couple of months at most, as I went through lots of games in those days. I haven't played it since, till a few days ago. I was 54 when I played it back then so I'm no spring chicken now...

Heh, so far I'm finding WC4 "Ace" to be impossible after the first few missions. I've dropped back to "Veteran" to develop some skills so that I can finish the first Tyr photo recon mission. For me, WC4 "Ace" is about twice as hard as WC3 "Ace".....that's just gunnery and maneuvering. So far...

It's a relief to hear that WCP is actually considered easier than WC4....even if that isn't my memory (which is probably faulty after all these years). I didn't think SO1 was all that bad, except for that bloody final mission, which was, IMO, horrendously hard. One thing I disliked about WCP...

When I replayed WC3 I'd completely forgotten about the in-flight ALT-O option screeen. I actually thought WC4 was the first WC game with selectable difficulty. After discovering ALT-O in WC4, I checked WC3 last night and was amazed to find the same option screen. I had the opposite of your...

So who are the guys that play WC4 on "Nightmare".....and beat it? They must know every aspect of the game, have super reflexes, exceptional situational awareness......and a much better stick than mine. I originally played WC4 on a P100 (or maybe a 120) and am wondering if the flight engine...

So it's not just me.....it is harder. I did think WCP was a harder than WC4, but I last played both years ago so I could easily be mistaken. I'll see when I get to WCP. It's not just missiles, the AI seems improved. Enemy ships really zip around and seem much harder to target with guns (or...
