Rotghroth Rhapsody The Stew Boy Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 When I started SubTerra the little man collected the emeralds, sure, but when I started the game, in the editor or anywhere else, the level loads and just FREEZES! I'm running it on Windows XP. On my other Windows XP it worked fine, but on this one it refused to. Can anybody help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan ef Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 XP often needs added software to be compatible with older games. Maybe your other windows version had such plug-ins installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyshakk Koan ef Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 I'm not running XP myself, friends who do told me about this. I could give you the URLs of german sites where I would look, if I searched for such an update. But you won't probably be able to read them. Best option may be to go on the Microsoft site and search there. But please do that only, when you don't have too many cracks on your computer. Otherwise, ask a friend.

Ineffable Wingbolt Radiant Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I would suggest going to the microsoft site and searching for terms like XP DirectX. It is an unfortunate fact that XP is not fully backwards compatible with other windows versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 HAHAHAHAHA I already started a topic about SubTerra not working, and it's directly under this one, at the time of this post. It's called "SubTerra won't work! AAAAHHH!!!!!" Ha. Anyway, Radiant said he'll be releasing a patch soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set the "Compatibility Options" of the game to "Windows Me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody The Stew Boy Posted April 25, 2003 Author Share Posted April 25, 2003 It sounds complicated. I might do what you suggested, but meanwhile I have Subterra on two more computers. One is Windows XP and it works. The other is Windows 95 (or is it 98? I can never remember) and it works also. As for The Almighty Doer of Stuff, I didn't think of looking at your post first, I assumed your situation was completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Radiant Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 There is a patch now. Download at http://www.liacs.nl/~psimoons/sub_inst.exe Try it, it may work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
