Homeworld's epic tale begins in the far reaches of the universe. You were the benign lords of a peaceful society located in the center of a lush spiral galaxy. For as long as anyone could remember, no one challenged your peaceful existence. But then came the conquerors, invading with the sole purpose of overtaking your world. Billions died, and the survivors were relocated to a cold, lifeless planet on the edge of the galaxy. Hundreds of years later, all knowledge of your previous existence has been lost. Only vague myths remain, until the discovery of an ancient tablet buried within the ruins of a half-destroyed craft in the great-banded desert. This Guidestone reawakened the knowledge of your ancestry, and set your race on the path home - coordinates leading straight into the heart of the galaxy. Sixty years ago, construction began on the giant Mothership that will carry millions of your people into deep space. Construction is now complete. Your journey to the Homeworld begins here...

Selected Test Results

What works

Install is fine. Sometimes, randomly, it will launch. and even less frequently, the sound will work. It is possible to select the openGL renderer but only at 16bit. Also, for the software to launch, virtual desktop must be set at 640x480.

What does not

Any 32bit gfx, resolutions other than 640x480, often the whole thing...

Workarounds

What was not tested

Multi player, I only ever got into one mission, so not too much game play either. Also didn't try the D3D renderer

Hardware tested

Graphics:

  • GPU:
  • Driver:

Additional Comments

Since the install works, you have access to the files... check out the SDL port as an alternative for playing on linux...
