Flashing
 

Now that some of you have installed the "Combat Pack" does it flash in SC and FC, I have never had trouble with 688i.

Thank you,

I have had no trouble with flashingi n 688i.I still play SC because it is the best game around as far as submarine simulation is concerned(SCU/SCX)

Ron,

Check out this post by Jamie over in their forum! I think you'll be pleased.

Does SC Stutter or flash
 

Linton;
I have never had problems with 688i, after I installed the DL mod on the Sonalyst web site. But, since I installed XP SC and FC has acted just like DW before they fixed it. So I am really interested in how FC and SC acts with the new Combat pack. I do not want to buy until I find out how they work. I also assume the SCXIIc will work with the SC in the pack. In my opinion that is the best mod ever developed.
Like you I am a much bigger fan of SC than DW. I only play the Subs in DW.

Thanks,

Sub Sailor I play SC with version 1.0 installed and patched to 1.08 with Scx and all the add ons.I have never had the flicker problem you describe.The version in the pack is 1.08 without the add ons(you can find them all over at Bill's or Ramius's sites)

Ron,

If you were one of the unlucky ones to have the flashing in SC with the newer Forceware and Catalysts drivers (due to the newer hardware paradigms) you'll be happy to hear that the N.C.P.'s Sub Command has the hardware support which was added to Dangerous Waters in patch v1.02 (i.e. no more flickering in full-screen play).

The renderer for FC was so different than SC or DW that we were unable to create a similar fix without re-writing the entire renderer (which we were unable to). However we did include a "-windowed" option so that the flickering would no longer be an issue in that mode (not a fix, but a compromise of sorts... :-?)

Hope that helps,

Wow Jamie...you're up either early or late...:hmm::hmm:

Great to see you post regardless as Ron being a former COB...is a hard sell. :rotfl::rotfl:

will the sxc for sc work with steam?

Careful Buyer
 

Thanks Jamie, I bought the NCP the other evening and recieved confirmation for it.
Sonar, you little rascal, I like to think of my self as a careful buyer-but cheap Bas...d would also apply. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rock:

Thank you! :ping:

For someone who already has SC (the original EA retail version) is there any reason to consider getting NCP with 688i? I mean is 688i just going to seem like a step backwards from SC/SCXIIc/SCU?

Also, how is a Fleet Command as a game? Worth getting? (I obviously already own SC with no flickering problems.)

Thanks.

Two part question...two answers.

1. For the nostagia crowd like myself that like the classics!
2. You might want to check out this topic Sonalysts' Forum.

How successful has sales of the pack been and will it finance continued development of DW?I am surprised at the lack of chatter on this board from people who have bought the pack or perhaps I am just looking in the wrong place?

What is this flickering issue? I don't see it in any of the games in this pack. Is it just the screen refresh? That can usually be solved by forcing a higher refresh rate.
