    Windows 7 and WC3...

    Yep, just opening is enough. I Forgot to mention that you have to set compatibility of wc3w.exe to windows 98, otherwise it sometimes changes back to the "LSD" palette in mid game. This trick also works for other games with the same problem like Diablo and StarCraft

    Windows 7 and WC3...

    Hi all, while trying to get my old windows games to run I found a more elegant solution for the palette issue of KS WC3, at least on Windows 7 x64. In order to run the game with a normal palette (and without ddhack) take the following steps: - Change the desktop background to 100% black...

    Change disk images under ddhack

    Thx guys, I tried your suggestions: - I didn't burn the iso's, because I have the original CD's. But I'd like to play the game wherever I want without hauling all the CD's, that's why I'm trying to use images. - I tried to mount the 4 CD's in 4 different virtual drives. That seemed to go OK. I...

    WC for ipod using idos

    Hi Mookmonster, I don't know IOS, but the same problem happened with dosbox privateer, with the cursor constantly drifting to the upper left corner. In my case this was solved by setting the joystick to 2-axis. Maybe this helps? Arjen

    Change disk images under ddhack

    Hi all, I am running WC3-KS fine under windows 7 x64 with ddhack. Works great except for one thing. I run the game from iso-images of the original KS CD's, mounted with Daemon Tools lite. I cannot change the image while ddhack is active (I cannot Alt-Tab to other windows, it stays with the WC3...

    ddhack final - wc1-3ks, wc4cd support

    I solved the problem for KS: WC1 and KS:WC3 by enabling windows 95 compatibility. Strangely enough this doesn't work for WC2, when I exit by Alt-F4 or Alt-X the process WC2.EXE is still running in the background, and has to be stopped manually via Task Manager. Thanks for your response on...

    ddhack final - wc1-3ks, wc4cd support

    Hey Sol, first of all, thank you very much for this hack, I think it makes the Kilrathi Saga look much better. Two things I noticed though, when I exit any of the wing commander episodes with the hack enabled, the WC3W.EXE process keeps on running and has to be shut down manually via task...

    WCP Hires movies

    Hi Guys, thanks for your help. I am enjoying Prophecy with movies in full hires glory now. However, if I change the resolution to 1280x800 with the patch, the gamescreen gets very small and moves to the upper left corner of the screen, but the cursor uses the whole screen. (see attached...

    WCP Hires movies

    Hi all, I just registered to these forums, I have been a fan of the wing commander series since I bought the first game for my Amiga 500. Despite being slooooooow I couldn't put it down until I saw the end credits. Since then I dived into every new version the day it came out. I am replaying...
