Couple of questions

[hertston]

Had a lot of fun with this and Wings over Vietnam in the day, but I seem to recall they wouldn't run under Windows 7 (might even have been Vista)? Can anyone confirm this release will work with 8.1? Are widescreen resolutions supported?

If this is the first WOE it will not run on win 7 or 8 without some tweeking of the terrain files Data. after tweeting it it will run fine, and yes their is widescreen support.

Thanks.

Same here - game is working fine until you end a mission - then on pressing Esc you are back to the desktop.

Cool, thanks for the info Soulsick. that patch did it.

PC noob here, how do you install the patch to the steam?

do you just copy and paste \steamapps\common\Wings Over Europe when it asks on the download?

EDIT: got it fixed nevermind

Strike Fighters 2 Europe/Vietnam/Israel that are available from Third Wire's own store have native support for Win 7 and Vista, They are basicaly just remake's of the Wings Over -series.

You shouldnt really buy this game though if the dev cant be even bothered to make sure this is a working fully patched final version. That is just really really lazy. Give Thirdwire your money instead.

That said, SF2 is fairly overpriced.

Indeed, I thought about buying it but unless the price drops to somewhere around 10$ I stick with the old versions. I bought Wings over Vietnam the other day from amazon for 0,50$. :-D

This game actually froze my OS. I've read this and I have a question. Do i need to patch it before I try to play it again?

It also hung my win 7 64 bit install but installed the patch and seem ok but only had a couple of minutes in instant action.

All I had to do is run in compatability xp sp2 mode and it runs great. Also have Win 8

[MissKay1994]

I did already fix the game but thanks.

Soulsick you're awesome!

I got Wings Over Europe (WOE) working today 03 MARCH 2016 on my Win7 32Bit Rig.

I noticed that the game ran fine when launched from the STEAM sub-directory on my hard drive (though exiting the game was causing issues).....but would crash as soon as I selected Instant Action or a Mission from the STEAM LIBRARY shortcuts.

Here is how I got WOE to run well from the hard drive sub-directory (NOT the Steam Library shortcut):

1. Installed the OCTOBER2006b patch mentioned earlier in this thread to:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Wings Over Europe

2. Set the COMPATIBILITY MODE of the game's WOE.exe file to WinXp SP2, Disable Visual Themes, Run as Administrator....found at:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Wings Over Europe\WOE.exe

3. Created a shortcut on my desktop and the Windows Menu for the WOE.exe file found in the location mentioned in Step 2 above.

4. Launch the game from your new desktop or Windows Menu shortcuts...NOT the Steam Library shortcut (sound may be choppy in the cut-scene (still photo) as the selected INSTANT ACTION or MISSION loads, but clears up in game play).

System:

Win7 32Bit (for older software and games..I have other rigs, Win8.1, Win10, Linux Mint connected via a four port KVM switch for "other things").

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @2.4GHz

4GB RAM

Radeon HD 5500 1GB Video Ram card

2x 2TB Hard Drives
