  • Windows Xp compatibility?

    Is CTP compatible with windows XP? Everytime I try the install it gags at 6.0% install. If not compatible, how about a patch or whatnot? Thanks much

    Well, as I know WinXP use the kernel of Win NT with a lot of new stuff... so if CTP run on a WinNT then will run on XP, but I don't know this I have installed on 3 PC from Win 95, Win98 and Win Me and run just fine.

        Maybe they are using the 'XP family' version ?

        There's the same problem with CtP2...

          I can install CTP fine on XP, but it crashes fairly regularily at various intervals. Not nice.

            Do you have the patch installed?

              Patch for CTP or for XP?

                Yeah I have the 1.2 patch... Haven't heard/seen any XP patch, is there one?
                I've been playing some more and it's hard to tell what triggers the lock-up. Basically I have resorted to using auto-save and just ending task/restarting again when it locks-up. obviously that wouldn't work for multiplayer.

                  Very irritating indeed. It can really screw up science too; if it crashes on a turn I pick a new science to persue, it just makes it the first on the list (making me learn crap like Monarchy... *shudder*)
                  It probably locks-up about every half-hour on average. I hate XP.
