will msc play on window's me???

[ceriux]

cause my uncle wanted to switch to his older comp... and i wanted to know so i could download steam or not.

It should work - but ME is a piece-o-crap.

Get XP or 2000, but get rid of ME, even vista is better than ME.

 

[ceriux]

i know... but its not my pc... my pc has xp... just hasnt been mailed to me yet...

 

[Belmont]

You can "get" XP, right?

 

[ceriux]

yea... but 1 its not my computer, 2 its so old that if i was to put xp on it i doubt it would run, 3 my uncle doesnt want xp.

MS:C will look at Windows ME, and say;
"Your coding sux bawls."

 

[The Man In Black]

And that's coming from the MS:C code, where socket variables, though the same exact variable and debugged to show it's exactly the same, will sometimes fail to "be a socket" when called from, say, MY FUNCTION RAWR.

>_<

 

[Netrogor]

Hehe, nice, MiB. Sad, but all too true... MS:C does have a buggy set of code, doesn't it (but not so much as Windows ME)... if MS:C could only be cleaned up, I have this miraculous feeling that many of our crashing problems would suddenly go away... and servers would hold more than ten players... without lagging.

As I said... a miraculous feeling, therefore a doubtful reality.

Which is why Source is gonna be so friggin' awesome, sexy graphics or no sexy graphics!

LOL!

Heh, XKCD always rocks...

Steam may run in Windows ME, but if the computer can't handle XP, it won't be able to handle MSC either. TFC or HL1 you maybe okay with, but the more complicated mods are going to be unplayable.

PS. Someone move this to "Support"

yes it works, i tested it on a older com previously before it crashed and burned. and it was at the era where we had to dl diff client blah blah dlls, so i can safely say it shldnt be too much trouble now
