Launcher has encountered a problem and needs to close ....

[JokerMan]

Posted back in my thread also darrin .....

I've not heard positive confirmation of any existing XP user being able to play post the patch .... maybe they exist out there and if one is reading this and can play still with the existing XP rig, we'd surely appreciate that confirmation.

sneaksie, I simply don't know if XP is the issue but all pointers seems to suggest this from my limited understanding. Actually, I was thinking it to be a 32bit vs 64bit thing at play, but darrin's experience here blows a wide hole in that theory. Going to Win7 seems to be the common advice!

I am not confident enough yet with Win8 to jump on that OS for reasons similar to darrin's comments on the topic.

I would really prefer the XP issue to be looked into formally but that's won't happen ! Support has moved on!

Darrin, I've not found anything on the old XP compatible launcher either !!!

You surely have a case and maybe worth contacting Steam for a comment. I payed 10 bucks via amazon for a hard copy [authorised via steam later of course]. The principle may be the same but 10 bucks is easier to swallow than 50 and you bought on steam.

I missed any memo advising that upgrading to the lastest patch will make XP users unable to play the game. 1.05 worked for XP .... later patches all failed.
Not sure there was a memo!!

which leads me back to asking of there are any XP users who are playing the lasted patch unaffected!

Just a big let down here frankly .... and the game has such potential that we all want in too !!!!

Hmmmm!

good luck fella.
