MigBuster

Are they all in Unicode? Do they have the .fx lines in them. Is there any difference in bit depth etc for the image files you are using?

Every patch has added things - with the first Generation Games we always got lots of things for free but with SF2 he has had to change the business model and stop giving so much away - and thats fair enough. The changes above I expect you would only see in a new game or expansion pack. Any improvements in free patches will only be in the scope of the game the patch is for - and minor at best.

Ha - Well I was surprised to see people mentioning SF3, considering SF1 was about 2002 and SF2 was 2009, but I suppose one driver for SF2 was the changes in Vista and Win 7, so Windows 8 might be case for more change. I suppose the smartphone/tablet thing is one way to go - but surely that market is already saturated with arcade games and other things you can do on tiny PCs. I use a lot of Apps on my iPhone every day but no games - one reason being the battery runs down so quickly - we need a major battery breakthrough! SF would have to be a limited arcade game - that would need "Marketing" to sell - and it certainly would not provide any sense of immersion for the current series buyers who would still have PCs or their descendants. If he went this route consoles should be a target - but then he is up against Ace Combat 27 etc and they might release that on smartphones soon (if it isnt already)

Looking at lot better than when we last saw it - well done

They call themselves Team Viper - after an old Rolls Royce jet engine

Cool

If you are talking about the official 3rd Wire patches - then they will only upgrade the stock game components by replacing entire files etc. Any other exes you create should be left alone (or might even be deleted) But you know how to create a new one anyway yes? Bare in mind that Campaigns are made for a particular patch level - if you go past that level by upgrading things might stop working without upgrading them manually.

Without much info to go on it sounds like your install may be porked - but it could be lots of things and I wont be doing any remote Windows troubleshooting today. 1. Suggest you uninstall all the games. 2. Install again in this order I think (You might want to check that at 3rd wires site) SF2,SF2V, SF2E, SF2I, SF2ep1, SF2ep2 When you install merged everything must go into the same folder so set the path as C:\Program Files (x86)\Thirdwire\SF2\ or similar for each install. Test it works and look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Thirdwire\SF2\ to make sure you have a .exe file for each game - i.e 6 exe files called: StrikeFighters2 Europe.exe StrikeFighters2 exp1.exe StrikeFighters2 exp2.exe ....... etc 3. Install cumulative patch May 2011 for all SF2 games 4. Install patch June 2011 then patch July 2011

Right so you dont have Expansion pack 1 or Expansion Pack 2 at all? 1. You either have the wrong Patch - you may need the June 2010 patch specifically for installs without Exp Pack 1. 2. err June 2010? - any reason you are still on those old patches?

Ha if Wiki is anything to go by Well as TK mentioned an 80s series including MiG-29s maybe things may go that way! Hmm I had 1 kill in around 300 shots with them! Looking at the Firestreak performance - something global may have been tweaked - difficult to tell because missile performance has changed so much in various versions. Nice review Pfunk

What settings are your effects on - you may need to tone down something.

What games do you have exactly? are they merged or separate?

Thats a fantastic job on the tails

Jar Jar was no doubt aimed at Kids - unfortunately like Yoda, Lucas didn't foresee that a largely adult audience would be sitting there pinnng their dreams another classic like the original and reliving their youth

Flip - cant believe the entire crane went over as well. Soft ground? - yeah that soft ground issue must be a real nightmare when you stick a massive crane on it - more like human incompetence!

Nice find! That picture is pretty clear! Must admit I was watching a Hawker Hunter display team with gritted teeth last weekend - and thinking whether they should be sticking to solo shows.

Wow - thats impressive!!

What are your system specs including graphics card? Have you tried altering the in game graphics settings?
