Fleet Command CC · 11-21-09, 11:58 PM

They released a bundle of FC SC and 688i that will run on XP and 7 without extra software. might want to invest in that

This would be of help, but your replying to someone that has play, modded and hack this game for years, also I have got many versions of FC too.

Jane's Fleet Command. (works fine on XP\Vista\Winodow 7 32&64bit)
SCS NCP version. ( Got it which it come out. )
The Steam download version ( Got it which it come out. ) and also the gamersgate download version. ( Got it which it come out. ) I'm a bit of a FC geek.

Another thing Fleet Command was coded to run primarily on 3DFX Gpu, which that's why I posted 3dfx emulator. If you haven't play this game with an 3dfx emulator or on a 3DFX Gpu, which I have done both, you don't know what your missing out on.

Sorry to dig up this "old" one.

I tried the dgVoodoo 1.40 with the settings you mentioned below.

I was able to start the game, but through loading the mission, at the point, where the "loading mission" - window should appear, I only got a black window. After some minutes I start the task manager and it says "FC not responding".

Here are my system infos:

CPU: Intel i5 at 2.27 Ghz
RAM: 4 GB
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon 5650
OS: WIndows 7 Premium 64 bit
Fleet Command Version: Janes

I set the fc.exe to the following:

Windows 98 comp mode
Disable visual design
disable desktop creation
disable high DPI scaling
(The last two are a rough translation, as I'm Austrian. *g*)

With the "normal" Direct 3D setting in Fleet Command, the game is working without errors.

Thanks in advance for help.

i had the same problem that you have but i used instead:
IN COMPATIBILITY WINDOWS XP(SERVICE PACK 3) AND DISABLE EVERYTHING ELSE. now you may want to use the new installer and see what happends, it works for me, and im using janes FC.
you may want to try this:
use a different folder for example use c\:fleet command, dont use the c\:janes\programs\ etc\etc
and do a clean install.
--if using win 7--
1-use the new installer
2-use the dgVoodo
3-use in compatibility windows xp(service pack 3)
4-disable:
a-visual themes
b-desktop compositions
c-display scalin on high dpi settings
you may also want to disable any background task, aero and anything that takes resources.
and give it a try
GOOD LUCK AND LET US KNOW HOW IT GOES.

Hello Cyrus Grissom.

The dgVoodoo 1.40 doesn't work on Vista\W7 you need to use dgVoodoo v1.50 Beta2, but this doesn't work very well with Ati GPU's.

I would recommend you delete everything to do with the dgVoodoo file.
Then try the nGlide its a much better 3dfx emulator.

Let me know how its works.

juniorjj84 · 04-10-11, 05:38 PM

I just try the dgVOODO 1.50 and it doesn work with fleet command, well it didnt work for me, that doesnt mean that it wont work for you, since is a beta my screen will go blank and then when the title comes up it freezes,
try all the tricks it mention in the read me file and nothing, so i went back and use the dgVODDO 1.40 and it works like a charm, so im working to see whats wrong, if any progress i will keep you posted.

By the way fleet command cc i try the 3dfx that you mention and it works, except that my screen is red and the buttons in the sim are yellow, i try to fine tune it but no success, maybe im doing something wrong, do no, so if any sugestion let me know.
