I have found a solution for windows 10 and the gun not shooting/ no damage issue.

You will want to modify the shortcut for Star Wolves to something like this:

"C:\GOG Games\Star Wolves\StarWolves.exe" -force-d3d9

You will want to add the bold section to the Target of your path of your shortcut. This parameter forces the game to run in DirectX 9 mode. I know it works for Star Wolves 1. I imagine it would work for the rest of the series.

I hope this helps other windows 10 users out. Not sure if this works for Windows 7 / 8 users but feel free to respond to this thread if it does or does not.

Thanks,

Matt

Not sure if it is the same but weird one under Win10 current - all weapon fire just 'hangs' in space like Matrix bullet-time so space is filled with thousands of unmoving rounds. The funny thing is all other things like ships and rockets move normally.

Fixed with
Compatibility Win98 (nothing later!)
-force-d3d9
Full screen optimisations off
High DPI scaling off

Adding vsync and 1080p full screen from https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wolves made it look better. It reports 59fps, but whatever it's rendering it's actually running under 20fps. Still pretty garbage, but at least it's 'playable' now.

Thanks for the advice.
