Title: I'm new and confused!!
Post by: Tankos on April 12, 2009, 11:58:38 am
I've just found my (very old) copy of 'Conflict Freespace - Battle Pack'. I've installed it on my computer but I can't get it to work. I've looked for patches (unsucessfully) and have tried running in in compatibility mode (win 98). Here are my PC specs:

Windows Vista Home
Intel Dual Core Processor
3GB Ram
400GB HD
256MB Ati Radeon HD3450 Graphics card.
On-Board Sound

If anyone has any help i would be very thankfull.

PS

this site looks great :)

Get Freespace 2, you can run Freespace 1 via the FSPort. It's very cheap on GoodOldGames.

You can use Freespace Open to get upgraded graphics that'll actually tax that 3450.
