It's misled folks for ages and it fixes nothing. I see it no different than that old "GLQuake v1.13 patch" that shoves in an ugly grain on every surface, force fog and glows everywhere while calling itself a patch (leading it to be mistakenly mirrored as an official patch). Obsession about the Quadshot and questionably backporting a particle system and assigning improper decals and gratuitous shadows to everything seems to be a bigger priority.įrankly, a lot of the fault is in the presentation as an alleged "Epic-Approved patch". Hell, 227i still doesn't fix the clipping errors and softlocking behavior in a few maps that haunted Unreal since release. I'm sure Epic aren't thrilled to see "OLDUNREAL EDITION" defacing some graphics for a bit of self promotion on a 'patch'. Most of the recommendation for the patch usually is for Chris Donhal's excellent work on the D3D/OpenGL renderers which he apparently isn't allowed to host on his own site due to some terrible community exclusivity agreement, so by needing to use those renderers you're forced to have broken cruft of questionable quality to come with it packed away in an unneccessary installer program. Have no idea since I've never owned one! Reply 6 of 16, by xjas Of course this assumes you don't have a hardware MPEG/2 decoder card - to make use of one of those I assume you'd basically need the original DVD discs. (Otherwise it'll try to read from c:\vob). Run the 'configure dxmci' shortcut and set the path to the vob\ directory.
Others recommend Ligos, but it ran like garbage for me! On my P2-400 the Cyberlink video decoder had best performance/reliability.

Install the K-Lite MPEG decoder pack via codecs\klmpeg101.exe.Install AC3Filter via codecs\ac3filter_1_63b_win9x.exe.Unzip it into your WC4 directory overwriting all files.K-Lite MPEG decoder pack for Windows 98, which I got from here.Version 1.63b for Win9x of AC3Filter - the downloads were broken for me so I used Wayback Machine.WC4DVD.EXE - the unmodified original taken from the WC4 DVD.I've put together this package which has everything needed except DirectX. Getting the GOG version of Wing Commander IV working on 98SE was a bit more involved.
Install the 1.4 no-CD patch over the top (or quite possibly the 1.5 patch, both available here):.Remove the nGlide wrapper, as with Unreal Gold.Optional I guess if you don't have 3DFX hardware, but I can't attest to how the wrapper runs on vintage gear. Remove the nGlide wrapper - see above for file list.

My process for installing these is to install them on my modern PC, then copy the installed files over and perform the given steps.Īpparently you can use innounp to unpack the offline installers manually but I haven't tried it myself yet. I've got a short-list of games to try so if I figure any others out I'll post about them here, or if anyone has figured out fixes for other games I - along with others I'm sure - would be keen to hear about it!ĮDIT 2: Rather than spam the thread I'm going to just edit this post with my findings.

While Unreal Gold started working fine after this on my Banshee, it seems Descent 3 has been otherwise modified and just crashes back to desktop.Īfter some trial and error I found that installing the 1.4 no-CD patch over the top did the trick! (Attached below, originally from here).ĮDIT: It's possible that the 1.5 patch would work as well since it also seems to contain the full executables, rather than just deltas.
