Well, after 15 years I finally have played through Wing Commander 3. I've had the CD's this long. I've done it on Crazy difficulty... and finally, finally tonight I made it to CD 4 for the first time ever.
It was a big accomplishment, I felt good about myself. I popped in CD 4 after rescuing the dude off Alcor and...
It kept saying please insert the correct CD!!!!!!!!!
I tried rebooting and loading the game with CD 4 instead... Nope! I get that common error you get:
Attempt to re-init() a Tree
So, I'm fucked, right? After all these damn years I can't beat the game? After months playing on Crazy difficulty at that?
Good lord. Help please!
Oh, and I'm playing it on a pure MS-DOS system with real DOS hardware i.e. AWE 32 etc. But guess what? I get this same error on a Windows PC as well in Dosbox. I don't know what to do. I can't accept not being able to beat it and I'd like to beat it on original hardware at that. The CD's are authentic Origin CD's. The real deal. I can copy CD 4 to a windows PC fine with zero errors. The files all check out. The CD is clean, nothing, not a scratch on it, never been used.
