I know you developers have more important things to do, but I thought since Wing Commander 2 should not use any unsupported features - in fact it is based on the code of Wing Commander 1 - someone might look into this.

As some may know, it is impossible to get into the game without a savegame because you cannot type in your name at the beginning. Whatever the reason be, with savegame you can play the game, but it crashes when you autopilot to the first navpoint. The attached savegame makes it possible to work on that error. I tried to trace through the code with the debugger myself, but I don't seem to get anywhere near the offending point and my assembler knowledge is very, very small. The error occurs somewhere after campaign.s00 is opened. The debugger reports: CPU: Illegal Unhandled Interrupt Called 3.

My copy of Wing Commander 2 is working under Windows XP (though, much too fast) so this shouldn't be a corrupted file issue. I also checked write-only attributes.

You might need these files, too. They belong in the GAMEDAT directory.
