Gates of Troy, Spartan windows 10 compatibility testing

Gates of Troy fully compatible apart from alt tabbing in and out doesn't work in game, as per guild and link above shows...

Spartan same results as above so again works right out of the box with only a few minor alteration.

tests complete and can be added to main list thanks...

So, . . . I guess, those of us who shelled out money for "Maximum Football" are maximally out of luck?

Hello MWIDunn,

Yes, sorry but this game does not work on systems newer than XP, as is stated on the product page. Unfortunately although we do try to make games compatible for as long as possible this game's development cycle has finished and the developers are no longer around. I'm sorry for this.

You could always try using virtualisation software to create a virtual XP system to get the game working.

What about porting the older Close Combat games to the PITF or GWTC engine instead? Surely that would be a lot easier than rewriting the code for the old 16-bit engine.

There are a lot of differences between Close Combat games are they not really in the same engine at all. They're more like sequels in terms of coding & content changes so bringing them up to the latest engine is a huge task, so is just not possible unfortunately.

Hello Prepin,

Yes, as Zakblood says the issue is unlikely to be a Windows 10 issue. Usually internet security is the most common cause of issues with downloading the updates. Provided you've registered the game to your account you can also download the patch from the Member's Area. Alternatively if you email support[a]matrixgames.com then we can send you a manual link from another server.

Thanks, but I found my own fix for HTTR just today. Forgot I had this DXWnd utility to fix a couple of other older games but remembered about it today. Tried it with HTTR and am now good to go. Made a post about it for others in the HTTR forum.

Chariots of War runs fine on Windows 10. I am running CoW v1.15 and Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 8.

Has anyone run games with Windows 10 Pro using Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 with Windows 10 Pro's Hyper-V program?

If so would this be a better option than running games directly through Windows 10?

it's an option, but also depends on how well you know windows and also if you like VM ware, myself it's ok for testing stuff, but that's about it, not for general use in my book anyway, with this being a better option, but not out as yet

Code: Select all

http://www.theverge.com/2017/1/27/14418074/windows-10-game-mode-now-available-insiders-preview-program

windows 10 in testing atm has a gaming mode, much more suitable for gaming in, more stable, less resources used, and a lot more options for every day use by none techy gamers
