Wing Commander Windows 2000 Compatibility List Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Although all of the games tested below were tested on the final release build of Windows 2000, there is no guarantee that games listed as working will work on your machine, and those listed as not working may well run under a different configuration. The DOS mode games are not included in the list since Win2K DOS mode seems to have broken SVGA mode, and no sound or joystick support. Basically, all DOS games except Privateer and Armada should work the same as in Windows 9X, except without sound or joystick, and they'll only run in VGA mode. Privateer and Armada only work in full DOS mode which isn't available in Win2K.

Kilrathi Saga - Installer and XanMovie working
Kilrathi Saga WC1 - Plays intro, but crashes at first menu screen.
Kilrathi Saga WC2 - No known problems.
WC3W, WC4W, and WC4 DVD - Display "VirtualProtect() failed." error at startup.
WCP and SO - Crash at startup in all video modes.
Privateer 2 - Movies run fine, gameplay fine but sound stutters. Speed limiter works too, which it doesn't for me in Win98.

Let us know if you discover anything more about Win2K's compatibility with WC.
