I registered here, mainly to thanks all those who posted in threads connected to Chaos Gate. Thanks!
Besides that:
i tried running gate on two machines. Success rate is 50%.
I was tring w2k compatibilty layer for w95.
It worked on:
AMD 1Ghz
GeForce 2 GTS
Dx SDK 9.0b Runtime: 9.0b
Sound Blaster live
NO PATCH applied
Laspistol crashed on:
PIII 933Mhz
Geforce fx5600
dx sdk 9.0b runtime 9.0c
onborad sound
NO PATCH and PATCH 1.2 no difference
I havent tried patching working version, cos if it would stopped working, i would have to kill myself. Before my brother finds out .
Looking at above configs, it can be matter of
1) video card - works on gf2 series
2) dx runtime - i dont think so
3) sound card - that one is somehow possible
Ill try to test it on matrox, pII 300 and dx6, and AMD 2.6 fx5950, until then please try it on some machines!
I can tell you for sure that game itself is bugged like hell - i tried running it with debug dx libries, it crashes in menu with mem leaks.
And i dont think they will release XP version - one reason is that xp sucks, other is that CG is rather old and after disbanding SSI team no one knows how was it made... sad thing.
