--- Comment #98 from William J May may.11b@runbox.com 2010-04-15 03:59:25 --- *embarassed* I rescind my last statement that it only worked 'once', it was a buggy shortcut in KDE 4.3...
By setting compatibility mode to 'WinNT 4.0' I can reliably start the patched 'Homeworld 2' from console. It's just a workaround I know, but an easy one at that.
