Deutsch/German: Das deutsche iSO Dateiabbild bzw. die Datei "ArcadeinstallDWARS107g.exe" ist mit dem "Spyware: Win32/WebHancer.A" kompromittiert! Windows Defender meldet sich die ganze Zeit mit Bedrohung gefunden! Das ist sehr schade, dass man es so belassen & nicht bereinigt bzw. aktualisiert hat, so das man es einfach installiert und anschließend zocken kann. Ich hätte es gerne mal ausprobiert.

HOW TO RUN (last tested 9/29/2024, w/ Version 1.0, Windows 11)
1) Download the 1.0 Version (.iso) of the game and the Patch (modern windows patch not NoCD) 2) Mount the Game with Daemon Tools or a similar application 3) Before installation, right click the Setup.exe, set Compatibility Mode to `Windows XP Service Pack 2`, then run the setup like normal 4) Before starting the game make sure you replace the ds9dw.exe with the .exe from the patch and place the ddra2.dll in the same place, right click that exe and make sure to set it to launch as administrator and that it launches in 640 x 480 Resolution (the mouse will not work correctly otherwise) 5) (Optional) Download DgVoodoo and set it up, it can help with any stuttering you may encounter 6) Enjoy the game on modern windows!

I usually can get older games going but this one i can't. error initialising 3d environment. I tried everything I could think of. it's just one of those games. I need a retro PC to run this. windows 11 nah. if someone figures this out I'd love to know.

Neither of these downloads has the ds9dw.exe file. You can install after mounting the .iso but there is no executable to actually run the game. I tried to run it by using the ds9dw.exe in the patch but you need the original to do anything. Also one of the downloads has a file named ArcadeInstallGamespy.exe. that contains malware. I know Gamespy Arcade is dead and not available anymore and wouldn't need to be run but there shouldn't be ANY malware in the download. I will say that Star Trek Legacy runs just fine though. It's unfortunate that I couldn't get Dominion Wars to run though It's one of my favorites from the past.

This game seems unusually small. Is it supposed to be like that? I had to repair it to get it to work. Seems like the install needs to be set to WinXP compatibility mode. The mouse seems to be stuck at the side of the screen. I may have to install this in a VM to get it to work right.

The Iso is an incomplete install. Can you guys fix this? This had been for years. Missing dlls and files. Upload a full iso that isn't compact thank you

Everythings fine with this download, at least on my win7. Here's how I made it work: - install with xp compability and admin rights wherever you want - install the win7 patch - use dgvodoo (MS x86 folder), changing in "general' tab fullscreen: unspecified to fullscreen: stretched-keep aspect ratio - before playing change your main resolution to at least 1440x900, otherwise this fukka keeps crashing. Believe me, i spent enough time finding this one out :)
You should have a working Star Trek gem now, but as always: Good Luck

I think Star Trek Online should have used this game as an templet. It would have been better and made it free to play from the very start. Get rid of the tiers on it. I can understand about purchasing items while playing Star Trek Online. Its now free to play. But get rid of the tiers. Keep the purchasing the items feature around. But this Star Trek Deep Space Nine Dominion Wars game was good.

It works, you It's an old game so its not gonna be easy, you need to mount the iso, open the CD, inside on the setup u have to open settings set comp for Windows xp, and admin mode, some time one more box works, this way u bypass the setup not pasting all the files, after install put the no cd with patch. Only bug so far I have is cursor lag in menus, not in game. Great game.

I have a cd version of it and am tying to get it working now - looking for help for windows 10, - i can say that also when i do any install from the cd it only looks like a few files are installed to the harddrive also - though if i check the folder size its close to 600meg, which is what the back of the case says for required disk space, - so check what the folder size is with your install.

Seems the data1 and data2.cab files are corrupt, only a few files are installed to disk. Try to get the ISO for this game elsewhere.
I remember playing this on my ATI Radeon 9550 back in the day so I don't think it needs an NVIDIA gpu...

I played this when it originally came out. You need widows 95/98/ME, and a Nvidia video card, and all the patches to get it to work. It only works with Nvidia.
