Freespace 2 on win 10?

[zeko_i_mrkva]

Is it working on win10?

[TParis]

It should but in general it is recommended to use the source port. It cna be easily installed via Knossos:

Works for me on my Lenovo Legion Y520 laptop under Win10. Solution to an error I first encountered came from another thread on this page, posted by dcjacobs in July 2014. Here's how it worked in my case: Went to this folder--

E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Freespace 2\Registry

Then double-clicked on the file FS2, and clicked "OK" a couple of times until I got the message that FS2 had been added to the registry. Then I was able to start and play the game without issues.

Steam requirements don't say Win 10 but GOG does, I'm only going to get this because of that old cool Star Fox Mod...Event Horizon...it looks like Krystal's mom is a villain or something

Runs fine on windows 10, get the SCP pack for it and the launcher that ties it all together, it will download everything you need.

Running 120fps at 3840 x 2160 all settings maxed, forced AA to 8x on Nvidia panel.

FWIW,
I bought the FS2 game on GOG.
Ran fine, then I found Knossos. It is all it is said to be, works great for me in Win 10 - 64.

In 1998 I had bought the FS1 gave but gave up on it when the op sys bypassed the idea of backwards compatibility. Abandoned DOS, though it was a stolen cash cow.

Knossos is valid and gave me not just FS1 but other mods I enjoy. And ports of stand alone games.

Good that some folks have worked long and hard for little gain to keep Freespace 2 alive.

Really reminds me of the folks from Germany that a made FREE 'windoze' front end for Descent 1 and 2. My eternal gratitude to y'all.

Interplay may have died but the spirit of 'by gamers for gamers' never died.
Good games have way of living on past imagined expiration date by Microsoft domination.

Yeah that game is awesome, he has just released the first 6 campaign missions demo and its great fun - it also includes all of the work in progress levels that are also great and already in a very playable state.

you don't actually even need freespace 2 to play it.

Vanilla (the GOG version that is already patched to 1.20) works perfectly on Win 10 for me (though not in 4k, had to change screen resolution to 1920x1080). However, Freespace Open / SCP is generally better anyways.
