Running Wing Commander in Windows 7 ???

Mirage · 03-16-2010, 05:04

Just curious if anyone has gotten any of the Wing Commander Games running under Windows 7 yet? Specifically Win7-64bit?

I personally haven't tried yet, but may do so next weekend if I get a chance. I'll report back if/when I have any success...

WC3 (KS) and WC4 (DVD) have colour problems. WC1 and 2 (both KS) work fine if you experiment with your compartibility settings. I haven't tried out Prophecy and Secret Ops yet.
I have Win7 Pro 32-bit and an ATI RAdeon HD 4570 btw.

Prophecy, Secret Ops and Standoff all work in Windows-7 (64-Bit) though I have not yet tried the updated graphics options in Standoff.

Cool, thanks guys! Guess I'm off to install Prophecy as soon as I get a chance, we'll see how it runs!

Hi, I've play wc3 on win7 fullscreen with colour no problem (its my first time tho, start the game its crash but i'll fix it anyway)

make a new file name "DOSbox.cmd"

edit and paste this code to DOSbox.cmd

Code:

@echo off
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
"C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.73\dosbox.exe" -fullscreen
start explorer.exe
exit

(you can change path name to your dosbox.exe)
