Issues unresolved
Marine frigate capture bug
Marine frigates are unable to capture enemy vessels. Once the capture-order has been completed, ship control is never transferred, even with repeated attempts.
This is not a bug. Relic disabled the ability to capture ships that build other ships in Single Player.
Issues fixed
Windows Vista/7 compatibility fix
Use the German cracked executable or completely disable DEP[2]
|
Choppy/laggy camera movement on Windows 7 fix
Enable Vsync via the PLAYERCFG.LUA file found in Homeworld2/Bin/Profiles/Profile1 by editing it with a simple text editor. This will force the game to enable Vsync if the game crashes when you select Vsync in the Options menu ingame.
