hi!

HOW can I run Heavy Metal FAKK 2 on Windows XP SP2? Someone told me in a forum how to run it, but I cannot do that, because it´s really hard. It´s about to change a file from the patch installation in the temp file. Can anybody explain it better?

What about Rune? Why take 2's old games are so unestable on XP?

I have other games I cannot run on my PC: Oni (take 2 again!!)and Shadowman.

Can I emulate Windows 98 with Virtual PC and run a game with this program.

Many people have told me to make a partition on my hard disk, but I don´t how to do that. I have a Windows 98 CD, but I don´t know how to install it without a floppy disk.

 

Thank you very much

Geez, you should read post seperate topics for each game....but too late now...

IIRC, last time I played FAKK2 on XP I had to install the patch.....but the patch wouldn't install so I believe I had to decompress and place the files manually. I'll check my compatibility list to make sure. Is this your problem? Can you explain your problem better?

What's the problem? It should work fine.

What's the problem with Oni or Shadowman? Oni works fine on my computer, the demo for ShadowMan works fine too.

The games you mentioned run fine under XP. No, you cannot play these games under Virtual PC.

You don't need to do this. These games work fine on Windows XP.

 

 

You need to explain your problems with EACH game better and then perhaps people can help you.

OK:

Heavy Metal FAKK2: I install it well, but when I launch the game Windows tell me the game is not compatible (when the picture with Gith´s mask appears). I try to run it with the compatibility mode, but it doesn´t solve anything.

I have downloaded the patch, but it says I don´t have the game installed. I usually install the spanish version, but I have tried it with the english and the same happens. The patch is the european version. How can I unzip the files it contains?

 

Rune: The same problem. When I launch it a message tell me a code is incorrect and Windows also tells me the game is not compatible. I have the 1.07 version. A lot of people say it´s impossible to run this game under XP. This web tells the same in the database.

 

Oni and shadowman: The same. Where can I get the latest Shadowman patch? Acclaim closed, wasn´t it?

 

I have Windows XP SP2

 

Sorry If I don´t explain well, I´m Spanish and the error messages, that windows shows when it says the games aren´t compatible, are very strange for me: a lot of numbers.

 

 

Thanks.

FAKK2:

 

Yep, the patch cannot find the game. I had to use an installshield decompressor to decompress the files and place them in the game directory. I'll see if I can pull the patch out tonight, identify the installshield ver and the installshield decompression version required and post 'em here.

 

Rune/Oni:

Can you post the error message you get and what exactly is telling you it's incompatible? Post a screenshot if possible. (JPG/GIF I'm on a slow connection)

 

 

Don't know what to tell ya there. Never had a problem with it in NT4/2000/XP/2003.

Ok, I´ll post the full error messages or the screenshots on Saturday. Thanks again.
