I want to know if I-War fans are still out there! Come on, guys – give me a life sign! 🙂
I recently dug out my old copy of I-War 2: Edge of Chaos. I played it when I was way younger and gave up because of the hard learning curve. I also had no good controller.
Now I have a Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro and this game is amazing! :silly: I can feel it when I’m getting my arse kicked and the physics are very impressive for a game from the early 2000’s.
I haven’t finished it yet, so no spoilers please! 😆
Space. The final frontier.
Oh no, I hope I don’t get it 🙁
I’m still at Act 1 – couldn’t play recently because I had to code this website 🙂
Good thing I’m running on XP with ancient hardware, just for this game. That should (hopefully) prevent strange crashes of the game.
Space. The final frontier.
Interesting timing, considering Elite just released this week.
I played to about halfway through Act 2 last year, maybe the year before. Just far enough along to get access to most of the gear and have fun battling Marauders. Then I installed some Buda5 cruisers and picked some fights with Maas.
I was toying with the notion of reinstalling a few weeks ago, but I didn’t want to build up reflexes that I’d have to unlearn for Elite. I did try to set that game up to have the same kind of roll + yaw that EoC has, but it didn’t feel the same.

http://www.bryanray.nameYep, I do.
I’ve bought myself a X52 last year at last, and the game is even better with it.
Still strugglig with configuring additional POVs, though.
Yes, I still play occasionally. I still play around with Torn Stars and POG scripting from time to time.
Since the new Elite and Star Citizen are choosing arcadey flight-sim mechanics for their combat, I’ll likely start playing more EoC again.
It’s a real shame Particle Systems never published the source code — the IP is sloshing around in a company put into administration and will likely just rot into oblivion there. I would just love to break free of the restrictions of limited modding or binary reverse engineering and do some real work with EoC.
If anything, I play even more in 2014 than I did a decade ago when I got the game. Except this week, I’ve been busy working own a few projects (and my computer freaked out with something I tweaked in the game, and now I have to reinstall it.)
Boy, am I glad to see this site still running. When Soupdragon announced the site closure, I recalled the old I-War 1 site, gone so long ago I’ve never been there. In fact, I wonder if it even existed in the first place. 😉 My silly imagination was cooking up visions of typing i-war2.com and getting a 404 error… :O
By the way, concerning that Dagda bug, I figured out a way around it that works about 70 percent of the time. I’m not sure if you want it now, though. It contains a couple mission spoilers, but no plot spoilers, luckily.
If anyone is wondering who I am, I’m an ancient veteran of the game who’s played it through about fifteen times and haven’t been blown up in literally months, and it’s not from lack of playing nor an indestructibility cheat. It’s from playing too much for nine years with a pair of joysticks and neutron PBCs. A friendly warning: excessive gameplay may result in extreme skill. 😛 I’ve gotten too good, and now the game isn’t hard enough even with Hotfoot’s Elite mod.
Sorry for the ramble, I’m a little gleeful that this site will live for yet longer, giving me the opportunity to complain about nothing of importance a while longer. 😉
Long live Independence War and blowing stuff up in space! :cheer:–Ironduke

Very little about the game is not known to me. Any questions you got, throw them at me. 🙂I am glad that this is up and running. I found the game after it seemed to die out and could not understand how such a cool game was not still played more. I will be looking in on this site and hopefully playing more. On the game that I own, I cannot get past the first step out of Lucrecia’s base. I will now work on this again.
See you out there
Former Buda5 Modder here – honestly not playing I-War 2 anymore, switched to Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen. 😉
However thanks for keeping up the site, many good moments are connected with I-War 2!
Actually I still have that poster with the Dreadnaught-picture on the front site. 🙂

http://buda5.firstones.comI still play although I haven’t play much since my 22 month old twins were born. Even when not following the story I just would sometimes go out hunting for cargo 👿

Wow, that thing looks seriously overkill. I have a SideWinder Force Feedback Pro and I thought, I would never need any more buttons :silly:

That poster is really cool. I got it from GOG, where someone uploaded a high-res version of it. I think I will add it to the downloads here. 🙂
Space. The final frontier.
I’ve got the X-55. I added up the controls a couple of days ago, and I think it came out to upward of 90 button and switch functions and 27 analog axes. And a little thumb-stick to replace the mouse. It’s got more controls than a TARDIS.
I played EoC with a Logitech Extreme 3d stick, and it was just fine until it broke. Considering how much time I put into the game, I figured it was worthwhile to spend a lot on my upgrade. Even if ED, Star Citizen and No Man’s Sky all turn out to be busts, I can still come back to I-War.
I think the thing I am missing most right now from EoC is the autopilot. I had to fly 74 light hours to get to a station yesterday, and I was so bored.

http://www.bryanray.nameYes!
Using x-box controller – free roam and unstable space also quick combat honing – much prefer the combat and physics to Elite Dangerous.
Well done for setting up a fansite btw. I have already downloaded a few things I also have a few things stashed on Google Drive for EoC.
Found this site trying to setup the x52 Pro.

on the edge of chaosWelcome to the site, drkanukie! 🙂
I’m actually very surprised that so many people are still playing this series. Well, what can I say? It’s damn good!
If you have any stuff that is not here yet, let me know.
I’m uploading some things that I found on archive.org at the moment. Some missions for I-War 1, controller profiles, patches and demos to make the website more complete.
