Wing Commander: Prophecy - OpenGL Patch v.1.22 - Game mod - Download

OpenGL Patch is a mod for Wing Commander: Prophecy, created by PopsiclePete and Pedro.

Description:

This patch is an additional optional graphics library (GL), compatible with both Prophecy and Secret Ops, and is ported from the release of Standoff episode 5. In principle it is designed to remove problems experienced when using Direct3D such as 32bit support for ATI cards, and removal of texture glitches, most notable on things such as lens flares. Full transparency is supported, mimicking 3DFX. Some other improvements are also available, including the option to scale backgrounds and FMV to fill the screen in hi-resolution.

What it does

The OpenGL mode allows to play WCP and SO in virtually any resolution your monitor can support, accommodating widescreen monitors with black bars on the side if needed.

The original art and movies are upscaled to keep their original proportions when playing in any resolution. The package also includes hi-res art files made from scratch to better scale to higher-resolutions.

Plays without the DirectX mode texture alignment bugs and re-implement the graphic options that were previously only usable in Glide mode.

Cosmetic enhancements, such as the enhanced starfields, additive lighting effect, specular lighting and bloom effects.

If the game crashes when launching a mission run launcher.exe in the game's folder and set anisotrophy and MSAA to 0.
