I am running Wing Commander 2 Deluxe CD edition with Dosbox0.61 ...so far so good.
Now I want to transfer my Wing Commander 1 Pilot to Wing Commander 2 and there comes the problem

I can't typ the \ for the directory...I only can typ c: but not the \
Does anyone else knows the problem or has a solution for this?
Beside that I can only type the : no . , - or other things like it.

Found out that I have got the : on two keys... the : and the ö both with shift.

Could it be thats the dosbox mixes up a german and english keyboard configuration?

yes dosbox doesn't like german keyboard layouts.

try the / instead of \

I have solved the problem by changing my keyboard from german to english, but no I got another problem...the program dosnt find the files....what partition does dosbox create when its loaded or asked the other way...where do I have to put the files I want to load when dosbox is active?

Now I got WC2 running, but in the second mission the game crashes...

Someone posted something about a loadfix...what is that?

All one needs to do is simply run 'loadfix' once before launching the game, and the game will run flawlessly through the second mission. I will keep my eye out for any other bugs, though

Ah thanks...now it workes.
Is there a way to "automate" it so that I haven't to typ loadfix every time I want to start the game?

maybe read the documentation of dosbox.
there are many ways of doing it.
easiest way is in the [autoexec] of the configfile or create a .bat file and run that one if you want to run wc2
