Windows XP

Just in case!

This game dont run on Windows XP SP3 32/64, tested by me today (unknow error).

Upgrade your PC to Win 7 or better.

Well, the MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS on the Store page say it needs Win7+, so obviously.

Some people still try on XP.

No one should expect support for their ancient and dying, actually dead OS. Everyone is is moving or has moved away from supporting XP and most games today are DX10/DX11 and WinVista/7/8 compatible. Windows XP is over a decade old and based on old technology, newer OS support newer features and api's beneficial to developement thus developers are moving forward, that is progress..

Upgrade to something better/modern such as Windows 7 ot 8.1. No one except businesses should still be on XP and even they face criticism. I'm sure a copy of Windows 7 can be snagged cheap somewhere or you can find a discount for Win7 or 8.1. If someone can't afford to.. well they probably shouldn't be gaming on PC or can get a job. Be sure to purchase and install Windows 7/8.1 64-bit if your hardware is 64-bit capable which most hardware in the last six or so years is.

Case in point, anyone using their system to play games should not still be trying to play on XP. If anyone is still trying to run games on XP this is the type of response they can expect even more so when the requirements specifically state Windows 7 or better.

some games like age of mytology in steam don't make sense to no run in xp, cause the effects it have can easy run in windows xp they just make the game heavy and losing players making it run only in xp. im not much in favor to upgrade os beause even windows 7 have alot of troubles to run older softwares/games and some don't even run perfectly i think if possible (dx9) the games should support older os

Yeah I pre-ordered this when I saw it supported DX9, figuring it would work on XP. But it's a no go. I'll keep it installed for a little while longer in case Capcom is generous and decides to tweak it to work on XP. Obviously I knew the risk going in, but it still sucks since this is such a great game.

but as the above poster said. most developers have moved on. and XP is officially death when it comes to gaming. just upgrade to windows 7 or 8.1 and it should boot up fine.

XP is dead for all intents and purposes. It is freaking ancient. It was a great OS....WAS. It is time to upgrade. As for the folks that can't figure out that XP isn't supported...it doesn't surprise me. People don't seem to read the system requirements at all....which is fine....until they start whining and blaming the game. Their ancient toasters and inability to read some specs is the real problem.

The "No-Steam" version runs on XP, why the Steam version no?

Any info?

[CursedToast]

Does this run on Windows 98? I hope so... because not everyone can afford to pay $2,000 for Windows Ultimate 2015 Ace Edition.

[MartyFly420]

does it work on windows 3.1 ?

[Harry101UK]

Works great on Windows 15 for me.

Great Scott This Is Heavy!

I have actually my reasons why I want to keep my XP on my current computer. I do see why someone would or should upgrade, but in the case of the system that i have, I want to keep it in the current state.

However, untill I have the time and money to invest into a modern PC with newer Windows OS, I have to deal with this and XP. There several other games, for example XCom (the remake), which weren't made for xp and actually wouldn't run, if you not tweak the exe on a few points and add a certain file.

Technically am I sure that my PC could run this, if the files would be properly read.
When I try to start it, I get this: bhd.exe is not a valid win32 application

I have Windows 20 here (installed Windows 10 twice) and it runs great.

No seriously get off XP already. If it means so much to you like abandoning a son, you can simply create 2 HDD partitions each one with the windows version you want ( 1 XP and 1 Win7 for example). Them select wich one do you want to boot from the boot menu.
