Kann es nicht Spielen, Will unbedingt die CD
No CD Fehler nach wie vor nicht behoben... aber auf Modernen Systemen läuft die Retail Version ohne Probleme F14.6 man benötigt nur den Mod für den Scriptfix und somit lässt sich das Spiel toll spielen.

Es gibt aber einen No CD Fix auf der I-War 2 Internetseite

Empfehlung: custom Jaffs Mod (da fliegt er dann mit einem Frachter statt der kleinen badewanne zum container holen)

The original game is amazing. Steam version has lots of unnecessary bugs. The game is available on other platforms. CD/DVD on start can be bypassed by creating a virtual disk from any iso (the game start fine after). Compatibility settings to XP and run as Administrator have to be set on game shortcut (see other comments). But finally the game crashes. In the end is just not worth it to buy from here. Steam quality check bar is just too low.

This was an excellent game back in it's day and would still hold up today if it didn't constantly crash in the mid game. Just like the original IWAR, it crashes when jumping through L-points, and there are no patches to be found.

Worse still, they failed to put a disclaimer in the sale option that you would be required to pay a third party for a virtual cd/dvd drive to play it. You can get temporary "trials" for one, but you can only use those for so long. They should have INCLUDED one in the software package for this game if they're going to charge any more than FREE for it... Borders on THEFT in my mind.

One of my favorite games back when it was released. I bought this game hoping to play it again but it will not work on a modern OS (Windows 10). There is absolutely NO single player option unless you download a third party tool and ISO. Also, it appears that there is a bug in the second act even if you do get it to work. Really crappy...

A great game, but there is an unfixable gamebreaking bug(dagda system) in act 2, which stops your progression completely.
Probably hardware/os related, as i don't recall i ever had that issue back in the days.

i would love to recommend this game but simply the steam single player does not work, buy it else where because even though its old it is a good game

I tried to like this game, I really did. But in the end, it's terrible because it does not deliver what it says it does: it's not an open space sim, it's a heavily scripted action adventure game.

The game is more like an adventure game where you have to jump through hoops to get to the next cinematic. Any attempt to be creative or deviate from the norm either does not work at all or just bugs the game. For example: there is a mission where you have to cut a habitation module away from a platform to isolate the police squad inside and steal a ship. I tried sneaking in with all my systems down (since it's a supposed 'feature' of the game). Managed to get close, but then the cutting droid used to cut the module does nothing. Basically, you have to follow exactly the sequence the developper want for the drone to iniate the cutting: get in the system, says exactly the right thing, fly straight to the module. So boring.

I've been flying the same borring ship for about 30 hours now. You do not have access to other ships, at least not for a very long time. Your initial cool looking interceptor gets confiscated early on and you'll end up flying the ugliest space bucket ever for a very, very long time. Customisation is a joke: you buy what is available in the market, basically you are offered random upgrades that vary from pitiful to useless. I've never had to buy missiles or gatling ammo once ever, don't know if it's a bug, but it removes a lot of the immersion and usefulness of trading and therefore pirating. Never had to use the Manufacturing system ever. It really feels like an action space shooter rather than an immersive space sim where you have to manage and refit your ship.

Combat is boring. Once you figure out the one and only way to dogfight, you just repeat this forever. It's basically just WASD with a joystick and in this sense feels more like an FPS than a space sim. Battles devolve around you straffing around clueless opponents forever. Missile spam is aids and there's not much you can do about it but run until they all explode.

The weapons are wildly imbalanced, for example rockets are useless and the gatling is op. I remember taking on a station with a gun platform. A full clip of rockets (designed specifically for static implacements) would take about 20% of the gun platforms HP whereas the gat can destroy it with about half a clip. The remote bombs are a joke: as soon as you shoot, you are 'teleported' in the bomb to fly it, which is neat except no one is flying your ship anymore!! You'll get shot down real quick, and since stealth does not do anything there is no way to get creative with those. Missiles are slow, weak and miss a lot. The turrets are ridiculously OP, as long as you dont undock them and loose them (which will require you to grind goods for about 5hours just to remanufacture one, you're better off re-loading). Basically, there are very few viable options in battle.

Pirating is fun for a while, but when you realise you can't really use the loot to buy anything useful it becomes pointless. It also tends to devolve in grinding.

As mentioned before, stealth is a joke, despite being touted as a feature: you're supposed to power your systems down to reduce your signature but this has zero usefulness in the game.

Anyways, this game is disappointing for one simple reason: it does not deliver anything it says on the box. repetitive combat, only one ship for a very very long time, laughable ship customisation, no need to buy ammo, scripted, buggy... It's not an open space sim, it's a heavily scripted action adventure game.

Honestly this game when it come out in box, many years ago was a marvelous game, with a lot of story, different ships, your base, and a lot of hours of pleasure. To that original one I gave 10/10
But the one available on Steam is just a piece a crap and I am nice, where they disabled the possibility to play alone and it is totally unplayable, I give to that one 1/10, I am very disappointed with that one

so you can buy this game and downdoad it but you need a disk to play the game whats the point i have a laptop plus might as well buy the game is there no way of playing the game with out the disk?

this is a great game and a shooter. Unfortunate the game is flawed on steam. The problem is the speed at which the game goes, in fact i cannot get through the rings. If anyone has a patch to the speed please let me know. I have win 10 64 bit update 1903. I have an amd processor 8 core running at 4.7 gigaherts. 32 gigs of ram and a nvidia card Geforce Gtx 1070 TI and sound 7.1 surround.
thanks for reading this
