the fighter crashing issue is what made me stop playing the first version.
i stopped playing the new version because it got boring due to aboslutely zero new content.

for what it's worth, i've got it running at 1920X1080 widescreen, and it looks great.

<t> I agree with this assessment, 35% was not enough of a discount. I sort of feel like I paid $20 to be a beta tester.<br/>

The gathering storm is better than the original, no doubt about it. Things that were broken or non-functioning in the original are for the most part working in TGS ...

<t> well, after uninstalling and reinstalling about 3 times, it now works pretty well (i.e very little audio 'hiccuping').<br/>
<br/>
and let me say, the audio confirmation of orders is a very nice touch and adds to the playability of this game. now if i could only remember how i took out the ...

I swear though, if I play this game and get to be a commodore again in charge of a carrier group, and half my fighters crash upon landing, i will be very, very [:@]<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE ...

<t> the original starshatter was a good game, though it had a serious flaw that made me stop playing. the flaw showed itself when i had advanced a long way into the game, to the point where i had many ships under my command and I was controlling a carrier ship. i would launch a bunch of fighters on ...

so.
any ideas?

<t> wow, ijust did that and it worked! before, the audio tracks would do mini loops (i.e. it wouddl repeat a phrase 2-3 times before continuing. with the dxdiag program open it (the audio) worked ok. i tried it again, without the dxdiag tool open, and the problems were there again. <br/>

<t> cool.<br/>
<br/>
it's in the very beginning, when the shuttle is coming in and there is communication between the carrier and the shuttle. frankly i haven't gone any further than that since i was a bit put off. i want to be able to enjoy the whole experience of this game, particularly since it ...

<t> so i got my 35% discount and downloaded the game. but in the first cutscene, there are some seriously annoying audio issues. for example it skips and repeats audio bits over and over again. tried turning off audio acceleration, to no avail. sure, it looks great, but at this point i prefer the ...

<t> i loved the original starshatter when it was first released, and played it constantly. but as i played it I noticed 2 big problems (in my opinion)1) there was very little depth to the capital ship sim part and 2)whenever i was in command of a carrier group, half of my fighters would die during ...

i concur with your initial comment.

<t> The 'fighter crashing on landing bug' is what drove me away from being addicted to this game many months ago. i had finally made it to commodore, only to realize half the fighter pilots under my command couldn't land. [:@] <br/>
I came back to the forum with hopes that this patch had fixed that ...

<t> I just watched a space combat gameplay video and (1) the spaceship weaponry sounded like machinegun fire (2) all the weapon effects looked and sounded the exact same (3) all ships fired weapons directly ahead (i.e no varied weapon facings).<br/>

To those who have played the game: Is this ...

you can buy it import you know (nexus, that is)

Well said! But this don't mean Starshatter is bad game.

I couldn't agree more. Refer to the part about my heavy play early on - I was addicted for about a month...then all my fighters started ...
