Anybody here still playing the original? I've been trying to get it running, but no matter what patch I download I just can't get it to work. I've been reading that people are still playing it on Win7, and was wondering if anyone here has the secret

I've got a packaged version of the initial 1.08 release updated to 1.11 and then patched to latest lasthope, with a win7/x64 compatible patch.
I've even got it on dropbox and I can make it public if so desired.
If you'd be willing to put it up somewhere I'd love to try running it
Have your tried running it in compatability mode?
Have you tried the link in the sidebar? It should work just fine on Windows Vista/7, and features updated textures and stuffs.
Yeah I just tried it and all I get is the start screen in the top left 1/3rd of my screen with nothing clickable. Could it be video drivers or touchpad drivers interfering?
it's an issue with the program not being compatible with win7's windowing code. the link I just sent you has a specifically patched exe that will work
Works! For whatever reason the colors in the menu are all fucked up (tried compatibility too), but once I got in game they look fine and it is more than playable. Thanks a ton!
no problem. I also made a custom map for a lan-party me and some friends had a few months ago. It's called Rooly1 and is awfully fun/annoying for a small lan party.
I grabbed the one from the sidebar a few days ago and ran fine on win7 x64. Didn't mess with any configs, just unzipped and ran.
Have you tried following any instructions whatsoever on any website at all about playing older games on newer operating systems?
Yes, I am somewhat computer literate. Tried compatibility mode, tried patching to 1.11 and 1.30, I still get the mouse bug even after applying the windows fix.
Compatability mode W 95/8. Running as administrator.
