I can't seem to get this to work
« on: January 25, 2013, 03:05:24 am »

I can't manage to get a close-up on a planet. I've tried pressing about ten different keys while the green dot on the ship is hovering over the planet, but nothing happens. How do I get the close-up to work? (P.S. I'm playing the HD version)

Are you playing in 320x240 mode?
If so, then you are facing a known (and annoying) bug, which prevents you from entering planet orbit.

Switching to 1280x960 works. If you're unable to play in that high a resolution, you can try the fix described here:

You can also use the 'official' release of the Ur-Quan-Masters, which is pretty much a straight port of the original 3DO version. It's generally more stable, but lacks a few of the nifty enhancements in uqm-hd.

I used the fix described in the link that superbutcherx provided, and that fixed the problem, but another one arose: During the first battle scenario, the game crashes when the enemy ship gets close to mine.

Good to hear the fix helped!
Does the crash occur every time you get close to the Ilwrath ship? Does it happen in every resolution or just 320x240? Or just 1280x960?
