Even if you (somehow) managed to start a game - it is just a pile of bugs, lags and crashes.

I have the same problem.
I can do pretty much anything, except play the game or even launch the tutorial.
I can click the start button, but it doesn't do anything.

Windows XP is over guys, and it's only going to get worse for you as time goes on. I doubt the devs even have an XP machine to debug on. They should probably change the requirements to Win 7 and above though.

But the game says it can play on XP .

The devs just need to remove XP from the requirements. The game is made in Unity, so they most likely used Unity's requirements without having an XP machine to test on. I would recommend to refund or upgrade your OS, or wait and see if a future patch fixes it, but that would be a gamble because the devs may not have an XP machine to debug on. Also you can try to email support and see if you get an answer.

I'm XP and cant play. Neither online, offline nor tutorial. Does not work.

Same problem here. I'm on XP, and I was very glad when I saw the game would work on XP.

This should be fixed. Either that, or they never should have mentioned it works on XP.
I checked that specifically before buying, because I know very well most new games don't work with XP anymore. As it was mentioned it would run on XP, I bought it...

Either they should patch this, or they should remove XP from the system specs and reimburse XP users. I'd prefer the patch though.

We're working on a patch, but we don't have an ETA when we might be able to fix it.

In the meantime, we have changed the system requirements on the Steam Store to avoid further confusion.

If you are only able to play the game on Steam, you should probably go ahead and request a refund from Steam, and then contact us at support@playdekgames.com so we can work directly with you once we are ready to test any potential fix.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm willing to test a fix om my XP machine. If it works, I wouldn't need a refund. Or do you think it could take too much time (or never happen?), and asking for a refund would be safer?
