WCP: Reticle/HUD partially missing

[-Guardian-]

Hi all.. I have a problem with the reticle missing in WCP. I applied the Resolution Patch (1024x768) and the Video Skipping Patch - I haven't tested the game before that. After launching for my first mission I see a few of my HUD displays, but the reticle and (probably) some other stuff is apparently missing.

Does anyone have a clue to why this is happening?

For a screenshot - see here:

suggestion but not solution

If you cant get it working, try WCP without Hi-Res, it's not that great a difference - I'm usually to busy with the action to notice the difference (it's nice though).
One shouldn't normally have a problem with skipping either, so again try without.

Make sure you back up your CD's. I've had two copies, both have developed errors quite fast. They seem more sensitive to wear and tear than any other CD in my collection, and I keep them in good condition.

I can't see your weapons selection in the screenshot either. Either this feature also has problems, or (and I can't recall from my own experiences if this is true) you must first activate your guns/ordnance.

Another remote possibility - is the screensot from the training sim?

Good Luck!

I think that may be a problem with running prophecy with direct3d, because as soon as I switched from software mode to direct3d, I got this problem as well. The reticule completely disappears when stormfire is selected which is really irritating. If you don't mind slightly inferior graphics, then you might try not selecting direct3d, or you might be able to get used to it after a while - I just decided to live with it. Sorry for not having any better solutions.

You might try that glide wrapper that seems to work so well for Prohpecy. Glide looks so much nicer than Direct 3D in Prophecy.
