The editor and XP

Post by SteamTeck »

hey, I'm about to get a new PC because my old one had a meltdown.
Does the editor work with windows XP or should I stick with 98
Also any suggestions about video cards?

Some minds should be cultivated,others should just be ploughed over.

It works on windows2000 with no problems so I guess it should be OK on XP seem as they are similar operating systems.

I don't know.... I heard Drakan doesn't even run properly on XP without a certain patch made by Microsoft.

AT: editor work about good on win2000 but it's 3D view crashes a lot :| ... also you almost can not work with Surreal's Modeler and win2000/XP and nVIDIA cards (TNT/GF) - it crash the whole system to STOP error when you try to open Textures window and Mapping :)

My suggestion on video cards is that it's a good idea to look into the Radeon-made cards. I've got the 7500, and it wasn't very much but performs like a champ. It has T&L, which is absolutely required for the newer games. Look online, you could get a good deal. [;)]

Nah, Geforce is better. :) Has the same possibilites, expect it's a bit faster when gaming (thanks to drivers).
