WC 2 freezing at the end of mission 2

[Furyo]

Hi everybody

I'm doing again all the saga of fighting the Kilrathi, and have already finished Wing Comander I with the two secret missions pack. Now I've installed Wing Commander II from my ancient game (saved in a CD in CQM images back in 1996 or 1997), an eight floppy disks installation - it's not Kilrathi Saga, it's the original game in floppies!! Everything was fine, since the intro sequence (with sound!) to importing my character (major Furyo, with 20 missions flown and 147 kills!) BUT, at the end of the 2nd mission, when I've already saved the Concordia, the ¨#%&¨$#soab%&$#!!! game fereezes!!!
I'm running the game in DOSBox, wich functions perfectly with almost every old game that I have (and I have dozens and dozens...). Can anyone give me a hand ?

You need to load the game with loadfix.

Additionally, some games may need an additional entry to execute. Privateer and Armada run well with "loadfix -65" typed before the game's main executable (for example "loadfix -65 armada"). The -65 is optional and variable, but we've had best luck with that value. Wing Commander 2 will also probably require "loadfix -32 WC2" to avoid some freezing a couple missions into the game.

Thanx a lot but is this loadfix plus (number) a command line in DOSBox? I've never seen that in the manual or other stuff that I have about it...

Yes, it's a DOSBox command. Instead of typing WC2, type loadfix WC2. Or loadfix -32 WC2

Thanx a lot again ! !

I've just taken a look at those upper forum topics and read that this topic have been thoroughly discussed! Forgive me for being too hasty and for wasting your time, but I just love those games - I've already downloaded everything posted there.

Thak you!

No problem. Hopefully future versions of DOSBox make this unnecessary.
