And this is with a fresh install and no no-CD patch prior to applying the Version 1.0b patch? If that is true, then your version on the media must be Version 1.0b. It might pay to find a Version-1.0b-specific no-CD patch and see what happens if you apply that (if I recall, some do exist).

This is where the redirect goes. See if the direct link works: https://web.archive.org/web/20020202144523/ht … /Age2XPatch.exe Make sure to wait, because it may take a little time for the download dialog to appear.

While the English link does redirect, the download does work. I didn't try the non-English links since you didn't specify a language. So what language version are you looking for? Unless you can find some sort of non-English fan site, you may be out of luck.

First, a general comment about this type of question. The issue you are experiencing seems to be more of a usage issue in conjunction with GOG.com rather than a DOSBox failure. That means that you are more likely to find others with similar problems in the GOG.com Wing Commander forum (https://www. …

No need to remove DirectX 9. Just (re-)install DirectX 3, and Windows and DirectX will install any missing files. Hopefully you have the DirectX 3 package on your CD-ROM, but if not, any complete FalconFly mirror should have a multitude of DirectX versions. Here is the FalconFly Archive List: …

You might want to make sure that you have DirectX 3 installed. It might also pay to re-install DirectX 3 even if you do.

Thanks for the posts. I thought perhaps using the unpatched release was necessary for your process to work. Given the fact that the patch seems to address only game mechanics issues, I imagine it won't have an impact on your procedure.
