game seems really exceptionally thought out as a Game. capital G
problem is that on my computer I've got about 10 minutes of gameplay out of it on any of my systems, now I run Windows 10 and it just ... frankly guys this program can't seem to stay running more than 5 minutes.
it just isn't working. if I could choose "this game stops malfunctioning" and "refund my money" I'd vastly prefer to just enjoy the game - what's the deal?
am I alone in this?
if not I'll send email out but honestly at this point I am just a little confused why a game that doesn't work whatsoever on modern Windows machines is being sold and people aren't allowed to get their money back for a product that doesn't work?
again, I'd much rather this product work because it seems like the best available option for this type of scenario
For context, the game is 10+ years old and the game engine (the part that computes outcomes) goes back many years before that. An application (in this case, the game) runs using hooks into the Operating System (OS) which works with the way the computer chips are designed. In the many years since the game engine was created, the chips and OS hooks have changed, and video display hardware/drivers has gotten a lot more complex.
To make the game work with modern systems the developers were smart enough to make "switches" to bridge the old to the new. Because there are so many different configurations of computer chips/display card/monitors and OSs out there, the exact switches that will make your system run best requires a bit of experimentation. You can do this by changing them one by one. It will not affect your game permanently - you can always delete switches.
