Its a good suggestion, and I apologize for boring you  I have X Codec pack which has never let me down so far, and tinkering with the videos (and config files) have produced no change. I also have no problems playing the bink videos.. But I will take your suggestion and try out a different pack. I would be grateful for other ideas.
Think its getting close to the level of starting a thread in tech support

Since it crashes immediately at startup, may I suggest you install a codec pack ?
(I've gotten bored saying this) |
That sort of 'advice' should be reserved for people you hate... codec packs are the devil, and with the possible exception of CCCP (which really doesn't do much more than install ffdshow, mpc, and a media splitter), should be avoided at all costs. |
I heard a lot of people saying that, yet I never had a problem with a codec pack, and what little damage it causes (if any?) it certainly worth it more than installing each codec manually as you need it, and definately more worth it than actually reading tutorials and crap figuring out which codec is needed for what.
If you're a ripper, then fine. If you just watch movies, codec pack ftw!

codeck pack - no - only things you need at windows are ffdshow + ac3
if you want DVD - windows media codecs -nothing more

this game is the same like Homeworld but with added RPG elements ,
to understand more of the story you must play the first part , well this game is the same like Star Wolves 1 but with new gfx and new models , the voice acting is crapy but the fun factor is not - simply put its a marvelous game

Why does this game run like shit? I played Spaceforce Rogue Universe with all details on and it runs at 30 fps. I load up this game and it runs at 5-8 fps. And you can't even compare the gfx of both these games.

strange as ive been reading in many places its a buggy POS, still has bugs that were there in russian release many months ago. devs not interested in making any patches it seems. and is also unoptimised BS. im giving it a miss.

Fixed my startup crash problem. Tried the demo first to see if it was any good, it does seem like a gem if you're into this kindof game.
Anyways problems fixed by latest forceware (94.24) + newest direct x redist + reinstall - I'm always hesitant to install nvidias crap since I have an old card and all new drivers does is fuck it up. Thanks for suggestions
ps If you don't care, then this post ain't for you.

Except for the crappy voice acting in part I, I LOVED that game. Hope this one is at least as good.

The game is total garbage. The gfx are mediocre at best, and game runs like total garbage. Why is it so slow if the gfx blow? Compare this game to Rogue Universe, and that game runs perfect with all gfx options on. No excuse. Total crap coding. I mean shit gfx and runs at 8 fps? And I am running it in winxp.
I remember playing the first star wolves, and gfx are pretty much identical except that star wolves ran great.

Runs quite good actually , had to tune the mouse speed a bit ... but I'm getting 250-300 fps in the 2 solar systems I visited so far. Voice acting is horrible but that wont keep me from playing. It feels like homeworld with some RPG elements.

The game runs smoothly here, on a 6600TD with 1 GB RAM and 2.6Ghz Sempron. Getting some 30 fps all the time(measured with the ingame fps counter)
Sometimes it gets sluggish, but after you save, drop to the main menu and reload, the problem is gone. Might be a memory leak of some sort.
I like also that unlike the first SW, you can go anywhere you like. There are some 50 systems to go to, each of them having some advantage, like better weapons in one, while in another better systems or better missiles.
All in all, a fun game. A piece of advice. Save often. It has a tendency to crash right after you did an amazing job fighting those 4-5 alien fighters all by your own(one of them can kill your bas ships's shields in 2 seconds, so that's why i say it's hard to kill on of them bastards).
Buggy game, but a nice gameplay nonethless

Is this a space sim ala X3/SF:RU or a strat ala Homeworld? I keep seeing HW refferences but I thought this was an in cockpit space game. I thought I played the demo but now I am thinking I may be mistaken.
If I am wrong does anyone remember a game about 2 years ago that was in russian and had (from what I recall) close to X3 graphics but was a demo and I thought Wolves was in the title?

I was wondering that as well. Keep getting owned by the aliens and there's nothing better to buy in the trade stations and hiring mercenaries doesn't seem to work at all. Anyone?

from what I heard there are plenty of bugs like this in the original russian (bought version) release so I highly doubt it, but I guess you never know.
