Hi all,

I'm new to the GOG forums.

So, I seem to be having an issue with my copy of the game. The Engine/Laser/Shields indicator in the cockpit doesn't change with my commands. The binded keys seem to work because I receive the confirmation at the bottom of the screen that I've changed my power balance, but the little bar indicators don't move.

Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but I keep running out of juice at the end of missions. I'll be flying around with no shields and no laser cannons, regardless of what balancing I attempt. I used to be pretty good at this game back in the day and I know about power management. But what I'm experiencing is a complete lack of responsiveness from my X-wing: no matter how much juice I pour into shields or cannons, nothing seems to happen.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

So you bump lasers and shields up to maximum and do nothing. You're saying that you lose lasers and all shields?

Sounds like perhaps you need to do a re-install of the game...(shrug)

Zapbrannigan, Sorry, I've just gone through one mission and 4 levels of the maze, but I have not seen your problem on my machine. Good luck.

Darn it. Looks like I'm alone on this one. I'll keep this request open in case someone else has knowledge and can chime in.

I'm in the same boat, I cannot seem to change my recharge rate form normal/increased/...etc
What keys are you pressing? What message is being displayed?

By any chance, are you pressing the energy transfer commands (e.g., semicolon/apostrophe or SHIFT+F9/SHIFT+F10) instead of the recharge settings (F9, F10)?
