I did try the non steam version of the exe someone uploaded. Thanks for that btw. I got the dialog box for please insert the cd. I guess I won't know if this version will work. Well, playing full screen isn't terrible but it does make it harder to refer to the manual for this type of game. Also, it seems steams version of a lot of games may not work the same in dxwnd. That's good to know too. Thanks to all who helped out.

Uploaded zipped copy. Game is on sale on steam for $2. The other sonalysts games are also on sale for very cheap. Dangerous Waters, 688, sub command. Wonder if the stripped cd check is the reason why the file is smaller. In any case, the game is very old now but still very interesting in this day and age... I did try adding the 'hook / hot patch' checkbox and the program still launched in full screen, not a window. Didn't try the -windowed switch. Let me know what you think about steam's exe.

I had tried to 'modify' the color depth to what you specified. Couldn't find untick option. There was the video tab that has the 'initial virtual color setting'. Added snap of that. I tried setting default, 16bpp, 8 bpp, same results as screenshot I uploaded previously. I have added the folder contents for the steam version to the following post reply. Let me know if it's drastically different from original cd version. Note, without the -windowed switch on command line, dxwnd still launches full...

Tried that config you uploaded. It kept it the same except changing the paths for the 'fleet command.exe' file and I set the folder location. Other than that, kept it the same. Still loaded full screen. I didn't use the -windowed option. The steam version folder contents are as follows. Obviously the steam version doesn't require the cd for the game to run. Thanks for your suggestions about using hooks. Wasn't sure what that was for. File contents of the steam version: Directory: C:\Program Files...

The notes for the game does go into some 'detail' about what the posts mention about glide, d3d. For the windowed mode, it does go into some detail about switches for forcing d3d. I'll paste below: A. Display 1) Anti-aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering It is recommended that Anti-aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering be DISABLED or set to APPLICATION CONTROLLED from your video card's settings page. When these settings are enabled outside the game, visual anomalies may occur. In general, if you find a...

Thanks for the file. I tried it and it launches full screen and not in a window. Thanks for trying.

Anyone have luck running this one in a window? I'm aware that some others have got Sonalysts other game, Dangerous Waters to work with dxwnd to run in a window. Basic attempts of just selecting run in window checkbox doesn't seem to work. Fleet Command does have a window switch on the exe but the colors and screen are off using the built in windowed mode. Tried this mode and w/o the windowed mode switch with dxwnd and so far no luck. Thanks for help. Thanks. Games on sale on steam for $2
