Not working under XP in any compatability mode. Sony Vaio, 1.7GP4, NVidia TNT2 M64, 512M

Installs and runs on Windows XP. No compatibility mode needed. Sound is a bit choppy (w/ SB Live)

not working in any compatability mode, with video options set to lowest, software acceleration. Loads with garbled graphics. Sound does not work (sblive).

Works fine w/few problems under XP. Rename/Delete logo.com , and works fine. No sound and cannot rename planets/fleets.

The URL is the supposed location of Gremlin, however the server is throwing out TCP errors!?

Anyway, contrary to what already exists on your site I have Fragile Allegiance working perfectly.
Install and run it with VDMSound, and off it goes!

Only problems known right now are:
-Attempting to rename a savegame crashes it (but you can still save it with the default names).
-It seems to be impossible to rename things, it is quite possible that the game can't get any keyboard I/O at all...
-IPX Network mode is enabled (if you enable the low level driver in VDMSound), haven't actually tested it yet.

Hi I noticed a few methods here for getting fragile to work. Renaming 'logo.exe' worked well for me but I found a better way that lets you rename in-game items, run near-perfect sound and save your game without fear of crashing.

If you download DOSbox from http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ and insall it then you can run fragile in this using the following instructions:

1. Click the windows 'Start' button and then 'Run'

2. Type 'cmd' and click 'ok'

3. Navigate to the folder where you installed dos box by using the 'cd' command (if youre not sure about this then look up 'cd' or 'change directory' dos commands)

4. Type 'dosbox.exe' or 'dosbox.exe -fullscreen' NOTE: the second command will run dos box in fullscreen mode so you wont be able to read the rest of this step by step.

5. Type 'mount c C:\FRAGILE' where C:\FRAGILE is where you have the game installed

6. Type 'mount d D:\ -t cdrom' where D:\ is the drive letter of the cdrom drive that contains the fragile disk.

7. Type c:

8. Type fragile.exe

9. Have fun!

Alternatively you can type 'intro' and 'intro cdrom' in dosbox to learn what those crazy mount commands do, and another helpful tip is Ctrl+F12 when running dosbox steals more cpu cylces to run the game better. Hope this helps someone as this is a killer game!

I've tried everything, ive tried all compitable modes - no go, I've tried ALL combinations you can do to emulate CD with Dosbox - no go. Fragile Allegiance can't find the CD.

Edit c:\Fragile\config.ini file
inside you can find two strings with game truth path and CD path

Using the DOS Box method works perfectly with sound and everything. It is a little jerky but no problem. Thanks so much

Game works perfectly under Windows Vista using DosBox + Sound + Network play for hours and hours!

works fine for me.
no compatibility modes needed under windows xp. but to get the sound running on my audigy 1 I need to run fragile.exe with vdmsound. anyway i installed the game on a fat32 partition just to be sure it doesnt get confused with ntfs. older games sometimes do. there are some minor problems with strange noise while playing sounds but nothing you can't handle.

The DosBox and the remove/rename logo.com worked for me, but DosBox worked better, though it wouldn't work under the alt+tab [FullScreen]

It is a excellent game worthy of being packed in the same carton as Hardwar.

Also Gremlin went under or was bought out about the same time as Interplay in 2000 and something.

Plays on my XP system by re-naming (LOGO.EXE to MOOK.EXE) lol..

DOSBox works: Can't Go "Fullscreen", No Sound.

VDMSound 2.0.4: Game works with, but again with No Sound. (no conflicting drivers found).

This was a great game, too bad!!!
The Sound Is Half The Experience.

Hey got an xps laptop, vista, and downloaded dosbox, cannot get into fragile as it says there isn't enough memory and required 16mb

"Edit c:\Fragile\config.ini file
inside you can find two strings with game truth path and CD path "

That sounds great that there are 2 strings and all. But what do you change to get it to work? It has been reported that people cannot get beyond the no cd but none has yet posted a solution that is helpfull.

Works wonderfull to me, only minor sound problems.
I used Dosbox, windows Vista and a downloaded .iso of the game cd.
Great game.

How to get it working:
1. Download DosBox (latest version http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=dosbox&filename=DOSBox0.72-win32-installer.exe&use_mirror=dfn)\
2. Install DosBox
3. Start dosbox
4. 2 dosbox screens will pop-up, you need to type 'mount c *install folder*' in the screen with the blue thing (*install folder* is the folder where you installed Fragile, standard C:\Fragile)
5. type 'mount d *cd drive* -t cdrom' where *cd drive* is where the cd is in, standard D:\)
6. type 'C:\'
7. type 'Fragile'
8. The game will start, have fun!

All things that say 'type this, type that' must be typed WITHOUT 'quotes'!
