NEED TECH HELP MAJORLY!!! on IW deluxe edition

[Nosedive_2002]

The problem is the game was made in 1999 and runs on either 95 and windows 98 and i run on windows XP it installs alright and i can play but it will let me play 1 game then when i click on the next mission it will act like its going to run it closes my program.

Things i have tried doing.

1 re installing it
2 changed my image settings to a lower bit.

I love the game and if its just because im on xp thats the reason i cant play then let me know thanks

Try it on software - windowed mode (look at the readme to find out how) ANd see if you can hunt down the I-war patch somewhere, unless it comes with deluxe... (Dunno really)

What kind of system are you running it on?

[Stephen Robertson]

Try using the glide wrapper that's being talked about on this forum.

Go to:

Start
Run
type in DXdiag
select display
then disable direct draw and direct3d.

I believe the Deluxe edition doesn't have any patches

[Nosedive_2002]

ok u guys got to realize im as dumb as an ox can someone tell me how to get it into window mode instead of a full screen

[sauron1]

OK:

Go Here:

Download the wrapper. Run it. Then run IWar. You should be good to go.

Ok. The simple version (I only have I-war not deluxe btw)

(a) there should be a file on your I-war folder called Game.exe or Iwar.exe (theres differences between the US and EU versions on this score) Make a shorcut of those files

(b) Move shortcuts to desktop for easy access. Leave original files alone

(c) Right click on the shortcut. Click on properties. You should see a box with target next to it. After C:\Yeadayada\somewhere\iwar.exe put a space and type -w

(d) It should look something like
C:\program files\iwar\iwar.exe -w
If it does click apply. What you have just done is set a command line option on the program run from that shortcut

(e) Run the shortcut. If it doesent work use the same procedure on the other shortcut

That clear enough? :)

IWar Deluxe *and the IWar Standard that came with it* are up-to-date patch wise. Patches apply on only to the pre-IW Deluxe era IW "standard".



Nose_dive 2002, I would recommend you pick up a copy of Win98SE and run you computer as a dual-boot machine. Do check out that 'glide wrapper' though.

On the side: How good is that glide wrapper compared to, say, a Voodoo 5?



Nosedive, what are your system specs?
