No version of Windows was ever fine; unfortunately a fair bit of software I want to run is exclusive to it.

Can anybody tell me why this awesome pack of flags was changed in the recent versions ??
I loved how it had HALO, Freespace, Star Trek etc logos and now i have some colourful flags that are not as awesome :(

The wrapper hangs on exit sometimes if you don't explicitly select the Game->Exit option on the menu (I'm on a fully-updated Windows 10). If you just press the X button, it'll stick around - but, again, it seems random whether it happens or not. It doesn't seem to break anything if you just kill it via Task Manager, though.

Also had a problem with MSSTDFMT.DLL, but registering it manually via command line solved the issue.

Wrapper sometimes not exit because Aurora don't shutdown properly sometimes on Windows 10.

What do you call the genre of music that is used in the wrapper? I kinda like it and would like to get more.

That might have been treebiter's flag pack, I searched the forum and the megaupload link for it doesn't work anymore. Does anyone happen to have a copy of it?

These flags? UNSC in the bottom left for comparison. If so: here.

I don''t know if anyone has mentioned it but there is a bug with the wrapper.  It causes a duplication of the sensors options in the game config menu

Got bored, here is a version of the executable that should work without presenting the background.

Notably, I couldn't get the database compression tool working (probably because the environment i compiled with is so half assed) so when it backs up the game files it just goes ahead and copies them without any further modification.

Just copy the contents of the attached zip into the aurora folder to replace the existing aurora wrapper stuff.

Check the Bugs and Installation and Mechanics sub-forums - this issue is quite common and the fix is explained in several threads under different boards.

Someone recently asked me where track 3 and 9 were, after checking the download I realized they're missing, so I found a link to them if anyone is interested. Of course you can put whatever you want in there.
track 3 https://archive.org/download/stasis017/03_eternity.ogg
track 9 https://ia601807.us.archive.org/7/items/stasis017/09_eternity.ogg
