This is the most accurate statement ever written about a Wing Commander game.

Working like a charm now. Thanks L.I.F.!

I got in to a match 1 out of 5 tries. 1 out of three with WCIII ships. 0 out of 2 with WC1/2 ships. Here's the log info: Unable to retrieve UI (animated) texture () Error, LoadScreen failed to screen of type GameBalanceScreen when loading section GameBalanceScreen from file...

I tried the instructions you linked to - didn't work. I'm going to uninstall HWR and unsubscribe from all mods, then download with just HMW and your mods and see if that works.

L.I.F. - have you ever encountered the "general failure" error with HW2 in your travels, and if so, how did you correct it?

Hey @ChrisReid - that's me!

It happens when I first start the game and then whenever transitioning from different streams. It doesn't happen if I have the disc in the drive (and interestingly doesn't seem to be reading from the disc either).

Okay last question - I've got WC2 up and running but it still asks me for the disc when I start the game. I can click "continue" and everything works fine but it keeps asking for the disc everytime you change a stream. I copied over the streams from the disc into the streams folder but it didn't...

Yep that did it. I thought I was using my 2.0 zip but alas I was not. Thanks!

I've tried both, including the WC2.exe that comes with the SO1/SO2 download. Is there a separate wcpatch or is it the same one for WC1? The wcdx dll is also in the main folder with the executables and I placed all the .exes in that folder while overwriting everything in gamedat with the SO1/2...

Okay - new issue. I've attempted to run wcpatch with Wing2.exe and it won't create any new files. I tested it again with Wing1 and it worked just fine. Am I missing something?

Thanks man! You're the best and WCDX is awesome! Any further progress on WC2?

I know this may not be the right forum for this, but Stinger, considering you've dug into the files I figured I would ask. Is there a savegame utility that works with the KSaga version of WC1 and WC2? I frequently like to have my player do the "losing" path missions in both because they are more...

I remember many frustrating nights trying to complete this flight. This mission and the "Save the Ralari" in WC1's Kurasawa system.

I'm having the same black screen issue. I've checked the compatibility settings and edited the "installed from" key as suggested above. I can get the graphics to load with Direct3D just fine but it will only play audio in OpenGL mode. Same results if I run it windowed or fullscreen. System specs...

Actually, yes. Scotty considers doing it to the Enterprise during the episode "The Apple", but it isn't needed and it's never depicted on screen.

I had a lot of fun seeing this movie, and it really was the first of the three "reboot" movies that made me feel like I was actually watching "Star Trek" the whole time and not action movies that were paying lip service to the franchise. There had been brief flashes of familiar characters...

Kurtzman and Meyer have hinted that the first season will take place somewhere between Kirk's "death" in Generations (2293) and the first season of TNG (2364). Lots to explore there.

I'll join the crowd. My name is Josh. I'm 26 and I've been a member of the CIC community since August 2003 (damn). I used to be a whiny teenager that got upset when anyone offered constructive criticism of his ridiculous ship designs. I gradually got better with age, and I really loved the fan...

Fellow Wingnuts! I've decided to give a small slice back to the CIC Tech Support world after benefiting from it so much over the last 12 (12!?) years. I've noticed people having some difficulty in transferring their WC1 characters between SM1 and or SM2. To that end, I have modified the autoexec...
