There it is: Mac OS X version of the Wing Commander Saga Prologue is available for download! If you experience any problems, please notify us immediately.

It should be noted that we have moved our resources to a new high speed server. Our domain will be transfered to our new host shortly. Normally it will take up to 24 hours for the change to come into effect. Most registrars update the root DNS servers once per day.

After the root servers are updated it may take another 24 to 48 hours for the change to propagate across the rest of the Internet. During this period traffic for wcsaga domain may or may not reach our server.

At any rate, I hope all of you enjoy Prologue as much as I do, and I hope all of you stick around for "The Darkest Dawn". It's going to be a wild ride.

I'm just very behind on all of this, so the Linux installer won't be available until later this weekend.

Everytime, or just after you install?  What are your system specs?

The game will not recognize my Logitech RumblePad 2 at all. I can't bind any of the controls to the buttons, D-pad, or analog joysticks. System Profiler does show the controller as active within the OS.

Steering with the trackpad is nearly impossible, and if I use my Wacom mouse or pen the ship movement is delayed by about two to three seconds. Actually it's not delayed, but the ship will loop in the opposite direction that I am trying to steer. This looping motion takes about two to three seconds to complete and gets very dizzying if I am moving around scanning for targets.

Any help with the input devices would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried using the Force 0 or Force 1 options for the launcher's joystick tab?

I just discovered the site and downloaded the game. Looks great. Two questions.

In the installation notes it mentions how to modify the resolution:

The default resolution and color depth is 1024x768 at 16 bpp.  By editing ${HOME}/Library/WCS Prologue/fs2_open.ini you can increase this to any resolution above 1024x768, and increase the color depth to 32 bpp.

I have done a spoltlight search and cannot find the .ini file show above. Can you be more specific about where to find it?

Second question I have a Logitech Freedom 2.4 joystick that I would like to use. I have read about binding keys to the joystick but have not found any explaination about how you do that. Any help would be appreciated.

I owned the original Wing Commander and when I saw this site I looking forward to getting bck into the game.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I think I have every release of Wing Commander for Dos, and Privateer, and perhaps I was one of the few who loved Privateer 2. I even have the limited edition Wing Commander III in a Movie Can with orchestral scores CD-ROM. I laughed at the Dralthi graffiti in the depths of the Ultima Underworld abyss. Origin Worlds were for a long time the driving force behind my PC graphics card requests becoming more and more outrageous at work.

But Ive always been a Mac addict, so I also have all the original Mac OS (before X)  I have often wanted to run Wing Commander on Mac OS X and the Prologue that came with March 07 Macworld (UK Edition) is a fine thing indeed. Thank you everybody involved for working on this . I just couldnt land the thing on the ship at the end.

Nice job. I cant wait for the release.

Edit: nevermind, it is indeed
