Display MoreLast year we reported on the release of Wing Hard 2.0, a mod created by Sheppard which adds a great deal of customization to the difficulty of Wing Commander I and II! Now Sheppard is back with an updated version, Wing Hard 2.1. Here's what's new:
WINGHARD v2.1 README (1 March 2026)
WHAT'S NEW:
The v2.1 update consists of the following:
New Features:
"Restore Stock Defaults" -- just what it means; one shot restore to defaults instead of having to push '1' over and over.
Bug Fixes:
Game files are now opened ONCE per file per section (not once per write), dramatically speeding up the program.
Memory Leaks and other "shoot foot" situations are fixed, such as a short overflow issue.
In a short overflow issue, the basic SHORT data type only goes up to 32767.
The CONFEDERATION's Front Shields in WC2 have a value of 5000; so if one were to increase the rating of Confed Cap Ships by more than 6.55~ ; the value of the CONFEDERATION'S front shields would be greater than 32767 and it would overflow and wrap negative, which would be bad.You can download a copy of the new version here. Fight well, Captain... the struggle will only get harder!
