Great work with DosBOX guys- I just have a little bug for 'ya...

Running DosBOX 0.6.2

Wing Commander 1 crashes hard at the beginning of Mission 2 (where you have to escort a Drayman transport). The sound keeps playing, and if you wait long enough the starry background appears, but nothing after that. 🙁

Anyone got it working or know a workaround? Or is there a fix coming in a later version of DosBOX?

Cheers!

loadfix -1 before starting the game

wingcommander messes up with the amount of free memory dosbox provides

I'm not entirely certain, qbix, but I think he may be having some other issue with Wing Commander.

So far, of Origin's games, I have only noticed Wing Commander II having the memory issue. I just played through the first series in Wing Commander I after issuing 'loadfix -f' and it went through just fine for me.

I tried it with all the loadfixes, none of them worked... it keeps bombing out at the beginning of the second mission.

Also, the introduction is a big screwed- where they have the band playing? There's only half the amount of people there...

Maybe my copy is glitched? I dunno...

I just played through on my defaults. No problem here. Didn't even need loadfix. 😜.

I think your copy may be glitchy from the sound of it.
