Anybody figured out how to get this old dos game to work under NT4 Workstation? I've never tried running any old dos games under NT and have found the properties option for the MS dos based applications but no matter what settings of EMS, XMS etc I use.

Memory leaks and Installation problems...

Marcus75

I think XP works quite nice. Except that I got these problems: Memory leaks: Games crashes sometimes and it seems to happen due to some memory leak. Like the one that happen i NFS: Porsche Unleashed(explained under GAMES compability on this site).

Diablo 2 and Geforce 2 Ultra under XP...

ayukawa

I've tried three sets of NVidia's Detonator XP drivers, and get an absolute horrible FPS rate in Diablo 2 (10 fps at highest!!!). Even my voodoo 3 wasn't this bad. Any suggestions?.

Thrustmaster FF steering wheel in XP Pro

Pearcy

Hi, Has anyone got the Thrustmaster FF wheel working in XP Pro? I only have 98dvrs in the box (managed to find 2000 dvrs for USB), but would rather use serial connection if poss. Win XP will not install the wheel using the auto install.

monitor switches on/off when starting any game!

bigcletus

This is very anoying. There must be a way to prevent win2k/xp from turning the monitor off then back on when changing vid modes for games. I dont think its good for my monitor. Is there perhaps a registry option somewhere that can change this, or is it the display drivers? Thanks for any help.

Anyone else been following the development of this game (I know Donald has). This game looks sweet, 10 times better than rogue spear with better graphics, and improved netcode including dedicated server support.

unreal games and performance

Galilee

Hi all I have a NVIDIA card with a Athlon 1300. Performance in XP is generally very good. All open GL games are very fast and most directx games work ok. My only problem is unreal and UT based games.

Pure opinion here guys, does Windows XP suck for gaming? Or is it better than 2k, 98SE, and ME put together?

driver caught in an infinate loop

smoke

The typing of the dead seems to get my driver to go into an infinate loop after a while which freezes up my computer on the second chapter of the game. I have a GeForce2 MX400 card running under WindowsXP Professional build 2600 and this doesn't seem to happen with any other games.

Hi all, just wanted to share this. I found a site on the net that has an excellent collection of older games. These are games that have either been released as freeware or are now released to the public as free domain games.
