Star Trek™: Starfleet Command Gold Edition

First off locate the "config.exe", "sfc.exe", and "Starfleet.exe" files. Next set the compatibility settings as follows: Run in Windows XP service pack 3; check the run as admin and disable display scaling on high DPI settings boxes. Now open the "config.exe" file and set the video to software and the resolution to 800x600. Run the game and enjoy! This was one of my favorite games when it came out 15 years ago and thank GOG has picked it up! Now to see if they can get SFC 2: Empires at War and Orion Pirates.

This cured my ills. A D7 just completely destroyed my Fed CA because I forgot which button to press to charge weapons and such. But it worked, all the way to the end of the scenario. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=837445398

I loved this game when I was a kid, and was definitely ready to see this come up on GOG. With a few tweaks it can run on Windows 10 and 8: You have to edit the sfc.ini file to change async=0 under the mouse section. Then you have to run the config.exe and choose "primary display driver" then a resolution instead of your graphics card. That's been a bug since i've been playing the game (since about 2002). I was a fan as a kid as I still am. I'm a trekkie at heart, but I always loved looking at Starfleet Battles and even the old STCS (Starship Tactical Combat Simulator) that was ported to XP from DOS and Amiga. This game captures the same ideas of that game, just in real time. It makes you think on your feet and plays out a small story for you to enjoy. The story is small though, but it lets you take the conn and make your own way, your own stories, be your own captain. The combat is wonderful but the controls take some time to master, especially if you like to use the advanced options such as Electronic Warfair or defensive tractor beams. I always recomend anyone who likes star trek to start with this game in the series, as it was the best in my opinion. Not to say the other games weren't great... they have their points too. They just don't have as open of a campaign as this one, nor do they have you pitted against the giant space monsters, the Terrain Empire or stuck in a no win-scenario quite the same way as this one. Its worth the price to play again even at 15 years later for myself.

I just did some of the things that Langrisser_V suggested in their review. Locate the "config.exe", "sfc.exe", and "Starfleet.exe" files. Set the compatibility settings as follows: Run in Windows XP service pack 3, then check the run as admin. Run Config.exe and set your resolution to software (800x600 works for me.) I used to play tabletop Starfleet Battles a long time ago, this is a fun re-creation of that in PC game form.

Works great on Windows 7. Now all GOG needs to do is release Star Fleet Command 2 and3
