The first thing to try if there are any issues is to update video drivers. It's crazy, as the only thing I'm using is OpenGL 1.0 (not even 1.1), but still updating drivers helps. How long is the wait? AD, can you list your specs so we could try to see if there's some common thing between you two.

Nope, do a side-by-side comparison (or toggle between tabs) of the fully zoomed images and you'll see there's a slight difference.

New version here: http://iki.fi/sol/zip/ddhack03.zip Adds half'n'half mode (toggled via F6 - normal-bilinear-halfnhalf) and "old lcd" mode (f8), which is just a goofy experiment (stuff leaves trails, basically). Seriously, I'd love to hear if anyone tries this to hear if it works elsewhere or...

The images are 1600x1200, and some of them are rather large (over half a meg apiece). Open in separate tabs for comparison. Barracks (load/save/view medals) bed - normal bed - bilinear bed - half'n'half Talking to the bartender talk - normal talk - bilinear talk - half'n'half...

I can no longer update the original post, but here's a new version: http://iki.fi/sol/zip/ddhack02.zip - added delay loading of OpenGL library to run on winxp (and a kludge to make THAT work with win7). This should fix the "runtime error: r6030 - CRT not initialized" error from the original...

Forcing opengl to load with loadlibrary causes win7 to work, and xp to break again. Yee-haw.

Heh, got it fixed by delay loading the opengl32.dll, but doing that breaks it for win7. Isn't development fun?

Tried the free wc1 on my XP netbook with this dll, got "runtime error: r6030 - CRT not initialized". Ho hum. Works (as well as it does) without the dll though.

On afterthought, I can see the bilinear being promoted there, but taking a screenshot of the thing in action without it looks just like wing commander normally would, so posting one doesn't really.. you know, tell anything... Maybe I should do a windowed mode just for the screenshot value.. =)

First, I added the bilinear option because it came 'free'. Second, I prefer the original graphics. Third, I don't know how things go for other people, but for me, I had to turn on every possible compatibility option, and I still hate the way windows turns into 256 color mode, blows up my...

Oh, and I wasn't aware of the PC gamer copy, so if an admin could change this thread's title to cover that too, I'd appreciate it. =)

I have dual-screen 64bit win7 corei7 setup myself, so I'd be interested to hear from folks with different setups. I've noticed some input lag, especially after alt-tabbing for a while, but there's little I can do about that.

Howdy. I came upon the possession of the kilrathi saga recently, and I *hate* what I have to do to get it to play in win7. So I started writing this directdraw hack. http://iki.fi/sol/zip/ddhack01.zip The zip contains a ddraw.dll and a readme file. Usage: Copy to the application...
