Hi, I've looked through the posts here but I have been unable to find solutions for these problems. Any help would be appreciated. I'm running the games on a 486 75Mhz with 16Mb RAM and an SBVibra 16 sound card. The games are taken from the WC1 and 2 CDROM. When I play WC1 (which I have...

Is it possible to run the Amiga version of WC1 on a PC? I've seen a copy which is listed as Amiga but I wondered if I could play it on the 486 i've set aside for the purpose. Thanks (Edited for Typos)

Love the new screenshots of the Venture class corvette, it looks fantastic, well done Eder. You keep on proving over and over that you can make the old WC2 sprites into stylish and effective meshes. Will the specs be the similar (in turns of arms) to the original Venture class? 2 laser...

I'm stuck on the Novaya Kiev D: Rendezvous mission in WC2. I can get to the jump point without difficulty but as soon as I jump the guns on the Ralatha tears me apart. I can't seem to get away from the destroyer fast enough to escape its fire (as I'm flying a broardsword) but attacking it as...

Well I've got as a far as mission 7A. This is the scariest and most intense WCP type action yet. Nightmare actually lives up to its name, which makes a change from the last few years of playing WCP and SO. UE is fantastic! But I'm having big problems with the end of 7A. How am I meant to get...

Does anyone know where I could find a copy of Priv 2 in the UK? I keep tabs on the UK Ebay but the game is pretty rare around here. I remember that someone once posted a site that sold the game in the UK but I've managed to lose the link. If anyone has any ideas I'd be really grateful...

Is there anywhere I can find online system maps for privateer 1? Thanks

Yes, another Privateer Thread. I'm sorry that I have to do this but I've searched the rest of the forum and I can find no solution. When I try to run P1 I just get this error message: 'Insufficent Dos memory to run Privateer' I've tried installing without sound but this makes no difference...

I've recently bought a second-hand copy of WC3 for the PC without manuals. Is there anywhere I can find a rundown of the controls and possibly info on which ships, guns etc. I'll be using during the game. On the web would be the most convenient, especially as I'm in the UK where WC artifacts...

I have the original versions of WC1&2 installed on my PC. Although they run reasonably well they do have speed and sound problems. I can get hold of some old PCs from my school for a few pounds each so I though it might be worthwhile to buy a PC made around the time of the early WC games. What...

I'm trying to Run WC4 (not the DVD edition) on a PC running Win98 with a PII 233, 128Mb RAM and a 32Mb Geforce MX graphics card. The board is also dual processor (although only one CPU is in at the moment). The game itself seems to run but the video plays badly with incorrect colours...

Does SO support glide or D3D, patched or otherwise? I have just started playing SO with a new graphics card and it does not seem to have any accelerated features (such as coloured lights etc.). Will installing a glide wrapper on my card improve the situation? Thanks

I have a question for everyone with 'vintage' systems. I am considering putting together a very cheap and basic system using old parts to allow me to play my old DOS games that I have been unable to play since upgrading to Win2K. I've considered XP but it is a little too procy for me at the...

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...

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...

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...

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...
