Title: Star Trek: Klingon Academy - Is it good?
Post by: Tuskin38 on November 17, 2010, 09:13:30 AM: I heard that Klingon Academy was a good game back in its day.

I played SF:A and enjoyed it. Will I like Klingon Academy? Are the controls the same as SFA?

2) No they are not you got to do a lot more(even more than in stock BC). You have to use a lot of macros to get what you want done faster.

I'm running in compatibility mode...

To google!

Edit:
Wow, it was compatibility mode that was crashing it. I thought compatibility mode was suppose to help :P

from what I've read, it runs better on Windows 7. Maybe I'll wait till my Laptop is fixed.

Which stinks, because I've had this game since 2001 and contributed to some small degree to the modding community...designed a ship or two that Kt'Hyla built for me, and did a couple modifications (mirror universe versions of his TOS and TMP Enterprises)...wanted to bring my babies (http://dhost.info/phoenix/reydovan.htm) back into the fray. *grin*

Post by: Tuskin38 on November 18, 2010, 02:08:26 PM: Apparently turning off Detailed Star field fixes the flickering.

the game starts up now without crashing, but its just a black screen. But I've read a couple reports that game actually runs on Windows 7 better then Vista.

I'm still getting the black screen, but I can heat the music and menu sounds. So its just a video problem.

Where ever the pointer is the menu appears under that and a few pixels around as well.

Tis' not work for you others?
