Status: offline 		New Win11 computer. Using same switch settings as with Win10, I get a "fatal error 200". Anyone know what this is?

I would suggest a fresh installation.

That could be it. Some people try to just copy over the entire game directory, but unless the computer has updated the directory of programs it recognizes as installed (I can't recall the technical term at the moment), it will produce an error message. Installing the program from scratch fixes this, and then you can copy in all your saved games, etc.

There are Windows Registry entries that are set when you install the game. Without those you get the 200 error.

I did re-install from the original 2009 DVD, then added the 1126b beta. Then copied over all the non-exe files from the Babes mods. Works well on Win 11 now.
