hello,
i tried playing wing commander 1 ( the Kilrathi Saga remastered version) on win2k but without success.
whats especially unnerving is the game launch fine (fullscreen) and i can watch the whole intro animation with sound and gfx. Then at the end of the intro, i see the menu "Start Vega Campaign" for a second then game crash and quit.

i tried using solvbe but i must be a complet idiot because i didnt understand how to make it work with wc1, so maybe someone could explain with simple words that would be nice

tia

my config is as follow:
win2k sp4, 600MHz, 384 Ram, radeon 9200, inboard sound card

Wing Commander is a notoriously bad series to try to get working. Do a search on the forum, you might find some information. (It's all such a tattered mess at the moment, I apologize; it's all been my fault.)

Yes, it’s my fault.
