Naturally the screen resolution and color mode will be 640x480 and 256 colors, but if you've bent backwards that much, you probably don't care all that much. Your desktop will disappear, along with the task bar. Find and kill all instances of explorer.exe.Find the WC3W.EXE executable, turn on (basically) all the compatibility options.
I even learned the steps to get WC3 to work properly: I also tried WC2 and WC3, and they had similar - or worse - problems.
#Dcommander hack windows
so the game was sort of playable, but I hated the fact that Windows changed to 256 colors and I couldn't see my mailbox properly in the other screen, etc. with completely wrong palette.īugged by this I played with the compatibility options, and got the game to almost work well, with the palette going wrong at some points. My Win7 switched to 256 colors at a 640x480 resolution, but the game ran. So, I found myself in the possession of Wing Commanders 1, 2, 3 and 4, all Windows versions - the Kilrathi Saga and WC4CD to be specific. Among his discard pile was a bunch of Wing Commander games, which I bought off him, figuring they might be interesting research material, as I'm planning on a game with similar game play structure (as in story combined with game play, not a 3d space shooter). It all started about a month ago, when one friend of mine had decided to follow his dreams and was moving to the states, and he had to get rid of a lot of stuff.
