actually thats a good point - sorry i hadnt replayed SO yet, i only installed it really to check out Standoff, yes it does have the same problem thou :( ill try turning off antialiasing etc., but surely its not a performance problem is it - its probably some compatability thing i havent done...

Hi, first of all Id like to say that Standoof looks and feels great :) however, there is one problem i cant seem to resolve which is stopping me from playing it for any great length of time - in the actual 3d engine, i have periodic stuttering (like every half a second or so) - im running the...

yeh i handt tried it from dosbox yet tbh - i only tried from Kilrathi saga. Ill give that a go

yeh i did kinda try that - next time ill do it again eheh ive seen the firepower those bastards have thou - i wasnt too keen on aggrevating them :p

hi, I finally started doing the missions properly on the remake, and I have to say im loving it, cant stop playing it :) however, on one mission i was told to visit a Paradigm, and I flew up beside it, to within 100 clicks, asked for clearance a lot of times, pressed d - but nothing...

thx yeh - i think ill jus play it thru thou yeh i have Kilrathi Saga - it does have invulnerability as an option thou - but i wont use it (althou the asteroid and mine fields sometimes make me feel like doing it eheh ) :)

ok thx a lot ofr ur help ill jus have to write down the details when i get em off the merchants guild or wotever i was going up to ships i thought might be the ones for my missions but they didnt seem to have any extra 'talk to' options in the communication screen...

is there only one difficulty setting in WC1?

i obviously am just stupid :S

i did have a go, but it seems the dark.cfg is changed everytime i calibrate - and i do have to calibrate, cos everytime i start the joy is going all over the place (even thou its fine in other things) - LOAF (i think) in chat said that it doesnt like digital joysticks (i have a Saitek Cyborg 3D...

ok i know this sounds really thick, but i have tbh - althou i bought the privateer/sc dual cd back in the day - i never really played Privateer properly, and now im playin the remake (1.2), and i think it is most enjoyable, ther combination of modern 3d and nostalgic menus etc is perfect for me...

that is great news - if only i cud find my Armada disk now :(

yeh thats exactly wot happens to me - a good way around it i found is to hold down start key+r (to bring up run dialogue box (althou u wont see it)), then type 'explorer' then press enter this ll bring u to a 16 color mode or sumthin at a crappy resolution - but at least u can right click the...

bump - its now happening in wc3 too :( so the only games i really have working are Prophecy (and its add-ons/mods), and WC1 and 2 :(
