Title: Games in Windows 98?
Post by: Dave Gilbert on Mon 30/05/2011 14:44:23
Hi guys.  A weird request, but a customer of mine is having trouble getting Gemini Rue to run in Windows 98.  The engine specs say that the games can run just fine on Windows 98, but when he runs the game he gets a message saying that it is expecting a newer version of windows.  Obviously I can't test this myself.  Does anyone have any ideas?  The game uses the snow/rain plugin, which might be causing the problem.

I thought AGS 2.72 and up doesn't support anything less than XP. I could be wrong, but thats what I thought.

Hm.  The manual still says "Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP or Vista with DirectX 5 or above."  Is that no longer the case?

I don't remember what kind of version of AGS did GeminiRue used though.

Ah, thanks Dual.  Gemini Rue definitely used a more up-to-date version.  I'll make a note of that when I give out the system requirements.
