Overview



Fleet Command (FC), also known as "Jane's Fleet Command" is a real-time strategy naval warfare simulation computer game. It was developed by Sonalysts Inc. and published by Electronic Arts. The game licensed parts of Jane's Information Group's military information database, which was used as an in-game "Jane's Library"; Reference material the player could refer to while in-game. Jane's also licensed the "Jane's" name and the "Jane's Combat Simulations" logo, and the game was marketed under the "Jane's" name, much like the previous "Jane's Fighter's Anthology", which was also published by Electronic Arts. However, the copyright that appears on the CD and in the documentation shows that the actual name of the work is, in fact, "Fleet Command", as does the name of the Windows executable that is at the core of the game. The game supported 3D rendering by either D3D or 3dfxGlide, but not OpenGL or software rendering. Fleet Command was written primarily for the use of the now defunct Voodoo brand video cards that used Glide. D3D rendering is slower then the native 3dfxGlide rendering of the same map, even when using the newest D3D-capable cards. The game was written for Windows 98, although it would run (albeit slightly less stable) on Windows 95. On Windows XP the game had serious stability and installation issues until the 1.34 and 1.38 patches and the XP installation utility/patch. However, the game has always had (and continues to have) an unresolved memory leak issue that will cause the game to crash to desktop eventually, no matter what you do. This memory leak will cause the game to display odd behavior, such as units mysteriously vanishing, units being killed when no attacker is in the vicinity, etc. This behavior is usually the precursor to an imminent game crash. However, it should be noted that the game will often run stable for six to eight hours before such bugs will manifest.
