at a complete halt

am at the point where i am supposed to spray paint the base with the paint drone. ok, so i went to league meeting point, talked with them, and got drone. some marauders showed up and i destroyed them. i then flew back to my base to change ship profile to stealth rather than assualt. flew back to muntions dump, but the paint drone wasn't on my ship anymore. flew back to league meeting point and there it was. docked to it, flew back to munitons dump, and undocked w/ droid. now i am unable to establish a remote link w/ drone. it tells me i have an invalid rem security protocol. great!

any advice on how to fix this? i have passive 2 sensors on my ship, not active. also i have signal masking. can't establish rem link when masking is on or off, and don't know why it would matter. anyway, i am stuck!



i'm f*cked. reloaded from game menu mid mission, got droid, but still cannot rem link with it. dammit this sucks, and really ruins what is an otherwise super game. i really don't want to download someone elses save game file cuz all my accomplishments and my stats will be for nothing.

is there any other way around this? is it possible to pull out an earlier save game file somewhere within my game?


is there a cheat which will let me just skip this mission or have it automatically succeed

also,


is there a save game file i can transfer to a new compiuter so when i uninstall it from my current one, since i have a new system coming in a week. i'd like to be able to install iw2 on my new comp, and simply paste the save game file so i can pick up wehre i left off.

will this work, and will i have the same amount of stuff and stats?

ha! i solved the problem by killing all my power and drifting up to the ship in stealth mode, with the droid still on my tug. i drifted right by it, the paint droid did its work, and by the time the other ships started shooting at me i had brought my power back up and had full power mapped to engines.

i was GONE~!

i must say that having game commander 2 voice activation is a lifesaver. now i just have to say 'full engines' and presto- full engines. i have mapped nearly every key command to voice command, including wingman commands. together with my cougar hotas, i am able to do everything without the keyboard. it helps a lot.

Hmmm... I'm going to have to look into this Voice Commander. I'd never thought anything like that was currently possible.

That would make a nice addition to the simulator!

No confusion; just wrong or right ... Only Solutions

it is INVALUABLE. i use it in complex sims like janes fa18 to control all wingmen and tower commands, and in iwar2, given the scifi scenario, i use it to activate most of my ship commands, as well as tfighter,wingmen, and jafs commands. it is really really quick, easy, and very effective. it is also 90% or more accurate, since gc2 allows you to voice train the commands with your voice. it is also great in many online games as a voice chat, and you can switch back and forth btwn game commands and voice chat. gamecommander.com i think is the site. no matter how complex the sim, having this and a good throttle and stick (like the cougar hotas) means you will never have to use the keyboard or mouse again.

it is a superb tool!

Thanks Pepperg. I'll look into it.

Edit: Do you know if it works correctly with Windows XP?
