Talk to the studio who remastered it with a 64bit .exe. However, if you have a computer that isn't 64bit, why? How old is that thing? You should replace your computer at least once every 5 years (10 years if you're some type of skinflint). If you bought a computer in the last 5 years and don't have a 64bit system, you're the only one to blame. If your computer is older, STOP TRYING TO GAME ON YOUR TOASTER.

It kind of irks me when people moan that system requirements that were standard 5 years ago are too strict. There's a guy at my work who wanted me to help him with a 15 year old keyboard working on his new computer. After spending 2 hours more than I should have trying to support him and his scroll wheel, I told him what Logitech (the manufacturer of the keyboard) told him: BUY AS NEW KEYBOARD YOU CHEAP BASTARD. He had also complained about end of life for XP since he had pirated that and all his software, some of which didn't work right on newer versions of windows. If people want to stick themselves firmly in the past, that's great. Just don't whinge when everyone else leaves you behind.

Yes, thanks for addition. :)
But the thread is not only about GOG and I would not speak about a "complot". But it is interesting especially how those remastered versions are developing. Of course: Better graphics cannot have the same specifications as the original game. But regarding Turok 2 it was / is over the top. I liked GOG as it was about "Good Old Games". And I liked GOG as platform for Indie-titles. But I don't know if I like this upcoming, new GOG, with "optional" client included and more additions like STEAM. So in summary the direction is not the best for the moment!
Well: You know my system better than me? Or where is the conclusion that I don't have a computer regarding the specifications? ;-)
Besides the original works flawless on Linux with the usage of WINE, the remastered version ... not really.

Well that's your problem or better the problem of the person you are talking about. Not mine: I don't pirate software, but what I like is free (open) hardware, free (open) specifications and especially open communication. Within the last point GOG has more to learn these days! Yes, the criticism about Turok 2 is a little bit unfair, but that's another point regarding the roots. They were "classic, good old games" - seems a long time ago. :D

Oh don't get me wrong, I never meant to accuse you of pirating software. Maybe should have stated that. :P Also my statement wasn't specifically aimed at you. I was stating more the people who actually complain that they can't meet standard specifications. When I say "stop gaming on your toaster" I really mean that, though. I'm not some elitist gamer with a brand new hot system, but if you do want to game on PC you should invest a little bit of money in your rig. Too many people buy the $600 Dell PC expecting it to run games like a $3000 PC. They often get belligerent when this doesn't happen. My post was more a general post regarding the subject of your post.

Okay, than we have a common understanding. Thanks!

Well, for some things the community asked for. Some wanted optional achievements, others cloud saves. These can't be done without a client. Besides Galaxy is already much better than other clients out there.

If someone makes and maintains a list of XP compatible games, I can help test those games that I have as long as my XP machine works.

Also correct, but a toolset for future restrictions is therefore at hand with "Galaxy". And as often: Everything which is possible will be done, sooner or later. The community also wanted a "connection" with STEAM. They've got it now. Perhaps not the way most people thought but it is here and with every new, shiny feature GOG is losing more the difference and their profile.

man ok? i know some games which either require win xp or a single core CPU or both:
- Call of Cthulhu: dark corners of the earth (not really sure)
- cold fear
- condemned: criminal origins
- scarface (awesome game! even better than gta vice city)
- the suffering: prison is hell
- the suffering: ties that bind

can you test these on win 7 and win xp man?

"You should replace your computer at least once every 5 years"

Nice try Phil Schiller (Apple). We're on to you.

Sadly not games that I happen to own so I have to say NO :-( Sorry

About games wanting a certain amount of cores: You can add a line to the .exe/shortcut or something like that where you tell the game how many cores to see and use. I remember needing that for Fallout 3. Just gnoogle it and you will find instructions, that is what I did.

i tried to play scarface again and there was a program i think maybe msconfig? i ran that and set it to use only 1 core from all 4 at next reboot. and game was still making the weird image on the screen so didn't work

Talcioc is a word in romanian language, an archaic word, taken from the russian language, and it translates like this:

talcioc = flea market, yard market.

Hope that answers your question.

So he is calling me a flea market? :P
