Keep the source in mind - This is the guy who managed an overwhelming... what... 5? kills with 25.000 rockeyes. Maybe he just needs 4.999 more torpedoes...

Guess you missed that thread. Let me go digging a sec... Here we go. It's no big loss to have missed it though. Oh, and it appears it was 4, even, not 5 :p

I'm having difficulty with the third mission, (I think??). Spoilers follow:-












It's the mission that you have to fly to Nav1 and destroy some asteroids, I can only target asteroids that are about a million meters away????????? :confused: there are no asteroids in the vicinity, at all?




HELP!!!!!!!!



BTW guys, great job with this!! Very professionally done!

For some lower-end computers, the apperance of asteroid fields causes a significant slowdown. If you are experiencing this problem, enabling “Asteroid Field Performance Fix” option in the installer will fix it. If you are not experiencing this problem, we do not recommend that you use this option.

You should install the "Asteroid Field Performance Fix". On some computers asteroid might vanish. We could not figure out what's causing this, but it is somehow related to the time compression.

Many congrats on the release.  I've never played WC other than a few missions of the GBA port of Prophecy, but I can't wait to get back to school and get this thing installed. :)

I'm having difficulty with the third mission, (I think??). Spoilers follow:-

First off, install the fix as Tolwyn suggested. If that isn't helping, here is a way to get past this part :

spoiler :

While the goal is to "destroy some asteroid", that isn't scriptable at all. I just triggered if the primary weapons are being fired, and after a minute or so the dialogue and the mission will continue. So even without asteroids you should be able to get past this part, just fire your primary guns a few times AFTER the goal is valid

spoiler end.

The first reported bug sounds an awefull lot like an out of date graphics driver problem.. I've never had any problems like it running saga.. not even 1 CTD.. except from a very stupid one in the tech database :D

Muchos Gracias Senor!  That did the trick!

I just played about 6 or so missions, up to the system evacuation mission. I'm impressed guys. You really went all out here, especially with the damage effects. Whenever the damage sparks would fly on the Wellington, the carrier lights would flicker. Nice touch!

Bug here: (highlight blank space; spoilers)

on the mission in which you escort the wellington to the jump node, we arrive at the final waypoint, except there are no kilrathi. There are supposed to be two cruisers there, but there isn't. So I sit there for about an hour in 64x time compression on, and randomly at about 320 elapsed mission minutes, the two cruisers jump in. what is wrong here?

What the hell did you edit?
exe and a few other files, it fuks me about i will make sure it dont happen again, i have said on another thread if it dont work then i will hex edit it.

dont worry about it, i edited nothing that will give me an advantage, i only changed a line within the exe, and a few lines within 3 other files.
Um... I second karajorma.  What did you edit?  Tell me exactly which hex edits you made in the EXE, because I'm very curious.  If it's a bug, the SCP needs to know about it. :)

Hehe I still run a p4 1.8 with crappy generic 256mb ATI and it was sweet as silk!
I DID see a asteroid flicker but that was as time compression was slowing down, by the time I got into the area things were just fine...

Curious, during "auto-pilot" mode are you ever in any danger from outside sources if something goes wrong?

Pilot chatter was Hilarious! "Arrrgh!"  :lol:  Anyway, I got killed by the pirates in 3 secs and will try on very easy next (I am not ashamed)...

But that will have to wait till next weekend. I got a ton of Trek stuff to redo and my very first kitbash!!! Big things coming my way via email hopefully  :nod:

I had this problem too and I think I had 400mb left too... gotta clean house  :blah:
It looks like it's windows installer thats being used (haven't downloaded the release version yet) so maybe asking windows groups about the  installer will help.

You need at least 700-900 mb free on your Windows partition to install Wing Commander Saga. Solution: free up more space! At any rate, Windows needs about 2 GB free to function properly.

You magnificent bastards! I'm downloading this as I type, but thanks to the awesome power of 56k it's going to take around 11 hours.

Is the mission editor included?
