I am looking for this PC Game that takes place in the future in space that was probably created during the 1990s. It involves space mining and you got out in your ship to mine small asteroids and other similar objects. You also have small military ships that you can create to attack enemy ships and to protect the mining vessels. Later on in the game, you encounter a ship that was attacked.
Homeworld: Cataclysm was originally developed in 2000 as an expansion of Homeworld, but was released as a stand-alone game. It was published by Sierra Studios, as was the original, but it was developed by Barking Dog Studios. The game reappeared on the gaming website GOG.com in June 2017 as Homeworld: Emergence, as the name 'Cataclysm' was trade marked by Blizzard Entertainment for. Homeworld keeps track of what ships you start out with on every level in a LUA file in your campaign folder. By copying and pasting the LUA file contents into, say, the LUA file for level two, effectively you can get the fleet you have on the last level, which includes Sajuuk and the Dreadnought, in any level you want. Homeworld free download - Homeworld 2 patch, Homeworld 2 EX v2.0 Mod, Homeworld 2 Update, and many more programs.

Issues unresolved[edit]
Marine frigate capture bug[edit]
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[edit]
Windows Vista/7 compatibility fix[edit]
Use the German cracked executable or completely disable DEP[2] |
---|
Choppy/laggy camera movement on Windows 7 fix[edit]
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. |
