Steam's wonky like that. There's really nothing we can do on this end, hope Steam support comes through for you.

that is no win7 prob, is more a graphic driver prob.

on my Laptop (ati mobile card) sw 1 and 2 aren't shooting and 3 works fine. on my desktop (2x GTX480) all three works fine for me. there is just a big graphic card difference.

Dunno about that... my prev laptop also used an ATI card (X1400, yeah it was a pretty crap machine) but the games ran just fine.

I had same problem sometimes on my ex pc i think it is a cpu problem because when i had this problem just in big battles... on sw1... I had a geforce fx 5200 i think...

I had the same Problem. Fixed this by setting Compatibility Mode to "Windows 98" in the Game Executable (Right-Click, Properties, Compatibility). It's usually located in the Game Dir (C:\Program Files\STEAM\Steamapps\common\star wolves"). I'm using Win7 64 Bit Professional, btw.

Works like a charm now!
