Both lagg a lot...very slow game

Is it a emulation problem or the games are lagged by nature?

GoG says that they make games run in a modern computer but seens that WC is working very bad.

Change the graphics settings by running the Graphics Mode Setup program.

I did it, I put resolution 300x200. Didn't work very much

Both games lagg a lot!
The only thing that really worked was increasing the cycles, but the game is far from perfect...

but what is the best grapich mode to play ?

Try surface or overlay.

I personally use openglnb.

Hi there!

Wing Commander is meant to lag a little bit. It also makes the game easier. You can speed it up by increasing the cycle rate of DOSBox (basically emulating a faster machine) but then the game gets a lot harder.

Wing Commander 2 has settings for frame duration and frame skip. You can make it smoother by lowering the frame duration and then tweaking the cycle speed. Check the manual for the keyboard shortcuts.
