Will this run on Win XP?

Foxendown · 04-21-12, 04:52 AM

Well the new patch issued 20/4 does nothing for my freezes. If anything they're worse. I'm beginning to wonder how much testing they did on 32 bit XP. The developers seem sincere and committed so hopefully they will crack this. It may be they underestimated the extent to which people who enjoy naval strategy games keep older PCs going because they don't need more horsepower. After all if you are in to Harpoon, you don't need state of the art kit.

I'm running XP SP3, works fine for me. Best thing to do is report it in the bug reports section on the paradox forum.

I can run it in my Win7 laptop, but of course, it's slow (not the fastest laptop.)

For me there is no way to run that under xp...after patch 1.0.8.1 now...the game freezes and freezes and freezes. How about Naval War: Freeze Circle and sell 1.0.8.1 as a new game?

Serious, the game freezes so much like no game before. Sometimes after a few minutes sometimes i can "play" like 10 or 15 min. I dont think btw its because of xp, i know a lot of guys having the same problems wither other systems, its the game not xp.

Thanks for the vid, i watched it to 10.00 now and the command line stuff is interessting im gonna try that. I also tryed stuff with task manager and cpu control and i turned off some of the graphic settings.

But enough is enough and before i do things like turning the sound off i better throw it away.
