Hi all,
Just wanted to record/report that I was able to get Chaos Gate running on Windows XP (SP3) on my Toshiba laptop, WITH NO TROUBLE WITH THE CULTISTS, using the following steps:
1. Enable Windows 95 compatibility mode for SETUP.EXE on the CD (right-click the file, Compatibility tab).
2. Install game using SETUP.EXE, making sure to install the game to the default directory (C:\Program Files\RandomGames\Chaos Gate).
3. Install 1.2 patch.
4. Move the C:\Program Files\RandomGames\Chaos Gate directory to C:\Chaos (or any other directory name that has 8 or less letters and no spaces).
5. Make sure that compatibility mode is NOT ENABLED for C:\Chaos\WH40K.exe.
6. Play the game!
Note: One might ask, why not simply install the game to C:\Chaos? I tried that, multiple times, but the Cultist bug always cropped up. The above steps was the only method that allowed me to play the game without running into the Cultist bug.
