If the game crashes... (2021-06-21 14:41) |

I've had problems with this game for years, under DOSBox and real hardware. Turns out it uses its own memory manager, so if you get ingame crashes try this:
umb=false
xms=false
ems=false
Also, if you're using the CD version, make sure to apply this patch: https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/922-strike-commander-cd-missile-fix/

I'm having trouble with Strike Commander using DOSBox 0.74 on a WIN7 machine.
Here are the steps I've taken and the messages received.
Any help would be appreciated!
mount c c:/strike-commander
c:
install
"Not enough DOS memory detected. 586k are needed to play Strike Commander. Only 423K was found. (...)"
loadfix install (defaults to 64K)
"Not enough DOS memory detected. 586k are needed to play Strike Commander. Only 358K was found. (...)"
i also tried allocating 590K
"Insufficient DOS memory available to run Strike Commander. (...) 590K freed"

I got this game running A-OK with specialsymbol notes. I also fixed the problem with mouse drifting by using the joystick (in the conf file) setting of
autofire=false and using the "joystick type to "2 axis". Of course, am using a old (but reliable) Gravis 2 button stick. Should it ever drift again, just remove the joya.dat file and recalibrate.
Earlier dosbox versions (prior to .73) gave me off centered graphics using the "vga" machine type on my Dell XPS 630i MSI GTX285 SLI cards. |

If you have no sound in game - type install in the game folder and change sound card config to IRQ 7. Typing "install" after actual installation will open the hardware setup. |

Logitec extreme 3d pro and mouse interaction (2009-11-18 17:22) |

DosBox .72 and.73 both have the same problem after installing the game I have a strange interaction between the mouse and joystick. After calibrating the joy stick the mouse wants to travel to the upper right hand corner of the screen. The only way to get control over the mouse is to take the joystick and hold it in the lower right position. Then you have control over the mouse. I have seen other posts on the mouse and joy stick not operating correctly and do not see any posts on solution. DOES THE DOSBOX TEAM HAVE ANY IDEAS |

Sorry, it's -ioctl instead of -iocd
this will solve the problem Gullage had.
Unmounting the drive d is optional, but you don't need it anymore.
Using a directory to put in all the files from the CD and mounting it as the CD won't work (I couldn't get it to work). Either the CD itself or nothing, when you copied all the files mentioned above into the directory you installed Strike Commander to. |

SC- CD Version installs/runs under Windows XP x64 (2008-12-13 14:02) |

It's pretty easy to get it installed and run:
-set EMS=true, XMS=false
-remember that the standard IRQ for the SBPro in dosbox is 7, not 5 as suggested by the installation program, so change the setting appropriately
-insert the CD with Strike Commander on it
mount the CD drive with:
mount d "D:" -t cdrom -iocd
where "D:" is the letter of your drive in Windows
-install the game as you wish, I recommend using the default directory
then copy from the cd the following files into the installation directory:
all .tre (except liltre.tre, which is already there)
all .pak (except arena.pak, which is already there)
that's it. Now you don't need the CD anymore, game runs smoothly with cpu-cycles set to 16000
you can remove the mounting of your cd if you don't need it anymore. |

Now strike commander finally works, but I am having joystick problems.(I have a Logitech extreme 3d pro). I have tried several times to calibrate the joystick in the game, but it doesn’t change. The plane keeps rolling around like the joystick is totally uncalibrated. How do I fix it?? |

How I got the CD version running. (2006-11-16 07:28) |
Neville
|
|
|
1) Mount the CD drive / image under DOSBox.
2) Execute INSTALL.
3) Say "No" when asked if you want to install additional files.
4) Once installed, go to the game folder.
Then switch to your CD unit and type "copy *.* c:". This will copy ALL CD files into your harddisk, and takes around 150 megs of disk space. However, this means you got all game files, including audio and cutscenes into your game folder, and you won't ever need the CD again.
5) As for DOSBox, I finally got the game running after selecting "Full" CPU emulation (not "Dynamic") and switching off EMS emulation.
The game works fine at about 20,000 cycles or even less if you switch off some detail.
If you think the game is sloppy, remember that in its day a 486 had slowdowns with this one. I can remember it working at full speed on a Pentium 1 computer only. |

Strike Commander CD - Unusual AI behaviour (2006-05-10 16:47) |
VR7
|
|
|
Using DOSbox 0.65, runs perfectly during gameplay when setting a dynamic core with autocycling in the DOSbox conf, although the game speed is faster than usual. Even if you managed to obtain the proper game speed, however, the AI will do some very bizarre things regardless of difficulty setting, such as committing suicide, (dying for no discernable reason) slamming into the ground from high altitude, or reacting extremely quickly to any missiles fired at them, (firing very thick amounts of flares) etc.. This last one might be just me though, but I don't recall them firing that many flares just to evade a missile.
Outside the game, cutscenes are a bit choppy. |

I'm having the same problem trying to install the game from the discs but I found this in the readme file:
On some computers such as the IBM Valuepoint and a number of Packard Bells, the Strike Commander installation map try to use a region of upper memory that is already occupied. This will cause Disk #8 to hang up as it approaches the Terrain Map Generation. To remedy this, we recommend that you create a boot disk using the instructions within the Strike Commander Install Guide. Use the following configuration for your CONFIG.SYS
file:
config.sys
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 2592 /X=E000-EFFF RAM
DOS=HIGH
FILES=25
BUFFERS=25
SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM /P
Sounds like this might be the issue. I don't know how to solve it though. Don't think DOSBox supports bootdisks or config.sys files. |

Hey there. I - too - do not seem to have the SC.EXE file. The installation screen goes black, leaving me with no other option than to quit DOSBox and restart it. Could someone send SC.EXE to me, perhaps via e-mail or MSN or something? My e-mail/MSN is cwl@hoogenboezem.net |

at the slightes movement, not and.
And my specs are:
Centrino 1.5GHz, 512MB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
Before setting EMS=false and XMS=true I got the ""Protected Mode Driver is not responding to EMS function calls, make sure your EMS driver is not configured with NOEMS option, If it is, replace NOEMS with RAM."-error.
So I changed EMS=true to false and XMS=false to true.
After that I got a new error: "BIGTRE.TRE not found. You've won this time.." It also possibly said something like "refer to the installation guide".
Then I copied all the files from the SC directory on the CD into my game directory. Now it works.

How to get it running (2005-02-11 00:26) |
specialsymbol

OK, I got the same problem as the guy from Peru.
My solution was:
I set EMS=false, XMS=true.
That's all.
Then you have to copy all the files from the SC-CD out of the directory SC to the directory you installed the game.
Now it should run smooth. No problems yet at the cutscenes, nor at flying, except one glitch:
The mouse is too fast as an input device for flying. It just throws the plane around and the slightest movement.
I scaled down from 12.000 to 8.000 cycles, but it doesn't look like it helps.
I try to fly by keyboard now.
If anyone can solve this- please post!

After setting ems=false I had the problem with the program getting a black/corrupt screen and closing immediately on startup, and turns out that the default IRQ for the soundblaster in Strike Commander is 5, whereas it's 7 in the .conf file. Running INSTALL.EXE and changing the setting to 7 got me further into the game, but it's still slow and still unreliable.
Hope this does work one day, this was one of my all-time favorite games. |

As an added note, the game consistently freezes during one of the early cutscenes (when the player and Tex are having a discussion in the commo room). This is about ~4-5 missions into the game, thus the game cannot be completed. |

6000-6500 cycles seems to be the 'sweet spot' for the 'gameflow' sections (conversations, moving around the base, so on). I scale up to 12000 during flight (actual game engine). There is a lot of sound stuttering in flight, of course, but the actual game is playable, and to my recollection, runs slightly worse than it did on my 486/DX2-50 back in the day. Running on Athlon XP1800+. This is using the latest CVS build. |
