Starlancer is a 2000 simulation game developed by Warthog and published by Crave Entertainment.
You are a member of a squadron of volunteer pilots called the 45th. Any and all citizens with piloting skills have been asked to come forward and help in the fight against the evil coalition. You'll have access to high tech weaponry and ships, not known to most people. The Western Alliance is grossly outnumbered and you must help in any way you can!
StarLancer is primarily a space flight, mission-oriented game in which you must help defeat the coalition and win the war by completing missions successfully. A multi-player combat mode that supports up to eight players on the Internet is also available. All players in multi-player mode begin with the same weapons and no missiles. Throughout the game, power-ups, when found, give you missiles or special abilities. The gaming world is a predefined map and flying to the limit will cause you to simply bounce off it.
In the main mode of StarLancer, you begin the game as a 2nd Lieutenant and work your way up through the ranks and ships as you complete missions successfully. When not on a mission, you can view the Alliance news via a display above your sleeping quarters. Also, you can practice skills in the simulator that provides tutorials on instruments, weaponry, flight or just fight-simulating enemies. Once you're ready, enter the briefing room and learn new mission objectives. Prior to launch, you choose which ship to fly and what missiles to carry, after which the mission and sub-missions begin.
Coalition ships are tracked by red dots on your display and the different color lasers they fire. As you progress in StarLancer, you gain access to better ships and weapons. In the beginning of the game, you choose between three ships with similar capabilities. The game utilizes full joystick and keyboard functions and gives information on your status as well as that of your wingman. You also have full control of your ship and how much power to direct toward each system.
Starlancer is abandonware and no longer sold or supported by its publishers. Files are archived here for these platforms:
No Joy
Opening Cinematic runs ok up to quarters
Try Simulator or mission, goes to try and start the Sim or Mission… Game crashes right on first frame when loading launch sequence and locks up. Cannot even break out of it, Tab out or even get to task manager to force exit.
Game is too old and unstable on current OS’s like win10. You would have to downgrade and run on maximum Win98, WinXP may be stable as well. Maybe run on a Virtual Machine for stability. That may solve the problem. I think it is the win10 graphics engine, tries to do somthing that cannot be done anymore on Win10. I’ll try a virtual machine some other time.
On the main menu, hold down CTRL and type POTATO (lower case). Mission selection will appear in red in the top left corner. Use the number keys to type the mission you want to play, 1-24. Then hold shift and press the Num key for the ship you want to fly.

I don’t get to customize my loadout, watch the briefings/debriefings, look at my medals, watch the news broadcasts, or interact with anything in the cabin, but at least I can play the missions however I want. And I can watch all the briefings on Youtube anyway. Better than nothing!
