"This game can't run on your pc"

[sunray]

I have used the search facility to see if anyone else has had this problem - with no result.

My steam downloaded a 4 Gig update for CTA a couple of days ago. After downloading, I tried to start the game, and received the above message - with both the game, and the editor.

MOWAS 2 is giving me no problems - only CTA.
Can anyone help with this issue?

Just out of interest, what are your PC Specs? This game uses the same engine as MOWAS 2 with slight modifications so it shouldnt be an issue unless your computer specs are not up to scratch.

sorry to say that but most games wont run if you only have 4gb also that will not be even close enough to run the game at 30 fps. your going to need to upgrade your pc.

I am pretty sure the reason is because you OS is 32 bit, because I know it went full 64 bit just a little while ago.

Well, in that case, the CTA developers have stymied me. My system is an x86-based PC. A while back, when I purchased CTA on Steam, it ran on my PC, without any worries

I guess, now I have to delete it from my Steam games, and forget about it!

Storepage always stated that 64bit is required.

Well, I "searched" the store page, and this reference is all I found -
"We also published the 64-bit version of Call to Arms for you to test on the Steam open_beta branch. You can find it in your game library properties. We recommend to try it out, if you experienced issues while loading singleplayer missions."

If it was "always stated that 64 bit was required", was was the above statement on the store page? And why have I always been able to play it, until now, on a 32 bit system - with no problems?

Of course, none of this matters to me anymore, as I am no longer able to play the game. But you need to not change the specs of a game - after you have started selling it.
