AlternateLives Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) While I do have a computer that will run OpenRCT, my XP machine, ironically enough, has better specs, and I thought I'd give it a go. I recently downloaded the most recent 32 bit installer (not the launcher) and attempted to install and run OpenRCT on Windows XP SP2. After installation (which went just fine), I get a critical stop error when attempting to run the application, stating that OpenRCT is not a 32 bit program. Is there some trickery I can try to get this to run, or am I out of luck on this? Edited July 18, 2019 by AlternateLives Details added for clarity.
jensj12 Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 OpenRCT2 does not support windows XP anymore. You need to download version 0.0.3 for that to work.
Broxzier Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Windows XP is becoming a more vulnerable system by the day. You should definitely consider upgrading to an OS that is being maintained.

Okay, I'll give that a go, then. 15 hours ago, Broxzier said: Windows XP is becoming a more vulnerable system by the day. You should definitely consider upgrading to an OS that is being maintained. This is not my workhorse machine, but rather a 'childhood fantasy come to life' retro gaming rig designed specifically to run XP. I am aware of the risks, and I don't have any personal or important data on it. I do appreciate your concern, however. Thank you both for your helpful and timely replies! 1
