Removed from steam...

[Balduran di Midgard]

bye bye Shellshock....but I got it just in time...

[dahlas]

Why was it removed?

[Balduran di Midgard]

who knows....

[adz]

it was removed because, it never worked on vista/windows 7 for a while now. BUT saying that. a recent update i guess to windows maybe a patch or something? did fix it. years ago when i bought this i played it on XP and it worked fine, when i updated to 7, it didn't even work, didn't even launch the game. Few months ago i deciced to launch it up again and it worked fine!

Any way to get it now? Anyone have a gift copy? Not a big deal if not, I own it on Xbox 360, but it'd be nice to own it on PC too. This was a big guilty pleasure of mine.

I've had this game for about a year. Launched it around June of last year for the first time. Ran fine on W7-64

Last time I played it, I was running on Windows 7, but it need a necessary file the game kept failing to download.

I believe what was needed was a dll32 exe file. Can't remember the exact one. Either way, the game was a mess: had audio problems all the way, game was full of bugs, horrible to look at, and was a chore to play. It was probably taken down simply because, it was a major failure. That's my guess.

it works good for me, on win7, and it wasnt bad at all. got it for 2,50€ on sale and i really wonder why they removed it

[Wahash]

Oh, I know. I wanted to officially own it on Steam, though. I've emailed Rebellion a few times about it but they said they weren't able to do anything about it, and they weren't able to directly sell me a key or anything.

It works on win 10

Not too long ago, I came across this very item, advertised here.

(That place lists itself as; "The ultimate place for the sadomasochistic self flagellating removed game collector aristocrat.", so it may not be for everyone. I'm simply trying to help by revealing a source.)

I wish I could buy the game and do a lets play of it

[kalirion]

Works fine on WIndows 10 for me. Well, it failed to start a new game the first time I tried, had to alt-tab out and kill the process, but afterwards it was fine.

There are still issues - no anti-aliasing, and widescreen resolutions use the same horizontal FOV as 4:3 ones, which results in a zoomed in image with cut off info from top and bottom. And, of course, no way to change the FOV AFAIK. And, of course, no Steam Cloud support.

But hey, it is very playable. Even if it bottlenecks on my i7-920, a CPU newer than the game, due to only utilizing a single core.
