This is amazing! Expect new people coming to us soon! 😛
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they release this now – when we just did a major overhaul of the website and have driven more and more people here in the last months 😆

Ack! Did you have to post this right before my bedtime?
I-War 2 is making a comeback! It is still the best space sim!
Thanks Shmatzler for your hard work with the website!
P.S. If I make some headway with my 2-D game, it should attract many intelligent gamers interested in programming. I’d better get to work!

I just bought it now.
It’s alright – they were a bit sloppy in copying the GOG version (a registry key is missing, some useless GOG stuff is still in there and the logo looks like garbage), but you can play online after creating a shortcut and it works just like the GOG version does. Better than most developers who release unpatched games on Steam! 😉

It would be worth buying it again on steam just to be able to leave a long ass review.
Crap, more people to the site? that means I need to clean up my act… get a hair cut, press my shirt. We’ll need more member titles to tell the difference between the old old schoolers and the new newbies :silly:

I know, I want to post a review to. However, I think Schmatzler did a good job.

GunnraHello and welcome to our community! 🙂 The last and only one, so to say.
Is the game asking you to put the CD in when you first start it?
The button to start Singleplayer is usually missing when it can’t find a CD drive.

Hey man, thanks for the quick reply, its awesome to see this game has such a good following after all these years, i thought it was just me who was busting to play this game again
yes mate it does when i click cancel the game obviously starts, but i have taken my cd drive out for a ssd…. is there a work around please tell me there is
Cheers

Yes, there is. You can install WinCDEmu from here:
This creates a virtual CD drive and should be enough for the game to run. 🙂 If it doesn’t, load any ISO file into WinCDEmu, for example this one:

If you are on Windows 8 or 10, you don’t even need additional programs, you can load the ISO directly in Windows and that gives you a virtual CD drive 🙂

Legend mate all working hunky dory, what have i missed all these years any good mods you recommend once I’ve gone through the original story?
We have so many of them, I can’t really pick one.
But I suggest you should try out the biggest ones – Buda5 and Torn Stars 🙂
And maybe you should start the game with Custom Jafs and the Location Finder – they make the game way more fun:

Space. The final frontier.
To be honest, I consider Custom Jafs and the Location finder a necessity rather than just a mod. Besides, BUDA and Torn Stars are more like Total Conversions, so they don#t necessarily fall into the category Mowgli might have had in mind.
That’s wicked il have a look when I came home from working away, I had no idea there was total conversions…. Are they called briny action of the original story or a new story and background all together?
Cheers
Gunnra
Well, BUDA is changing I-War to Babylon 5 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon_5), while Torn Stars is its own universe, not unlike the I-War 2 one. So yes, those 2 TCs have a completely background.
