Thread: Howdy

    Default Howdy

    Hi all!

    I'm really just here to figure out what I need to do to get MTW1 to run on Windows 8.1 on my build without any virtual platform shenanigans, mainly cause I'm lazy and don't have a build of xp sitting around to try it on... yet.

    So yeah. Might even sit around here now and again to chat but I'm a little bit of a shut in, so the whole 'be social' thing is a little frightening sometimes...

    :D

    Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: Psalm 144:1

    In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
    As modest stillness and humility:
    But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
    Then imitate the action of the tiger;
    -Henry V by William Shakespeare

    Welcome to the Org, LordLivarious!

    The easiest solution to your problem is to get the Steam version, which has the added benefit of working on Win 10 as well. It's not on sale now ($10 US atm), but it does happen on occasion. If you want to do it the hard way, you can try the button fix, the various DirectX tweaks, the DirectDraw patch, and the other assorted cantrips listed in the Main Hall stickies. Good luck!

    Hi there!
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
