I have XP and am very happy with it!

May 16, 2009 5:06:13 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

But I see the latest GalCiv 2 games appear to require VISTA!

Is there any way that some one with XP (and very happy with it!) can play the latest GalCiv 2 games!

What was GalCiv 2 thinking of by making VISTA the only OS by which to play their latest games?

Live long and prosper.

Don't know what you are talking about, GC2 works fine on XPerimental.

They all work fine on XP. I've no idea where you got the idea they require Vista, but you've been misinformed.

Perhaps the OP is referring to the latest updates, which are only available via Impulse, which apparently does not run on XP.

Doh. I brain-farted Win2k for WinXP on account of something similar I skimmed here recently.

cmcastl, someone here could probably help you if you are a bit more specific about what you mean by "...appear to require VISTA." Did you see some non-Stardock sysreq stuff that put you off even trying to install or have you actually had problems running an installed copy of GC2 on your XP box?

GC2 and Impulse both work fine on XP.

Definitely. Perhaps it's the IE7 requirement that he's choking on. Does Impulse support IE8 yet?
