Jumpgate Reactivations

Tim

Well, i was all geared up to jump back into the game, (see how i did that with the jump bit?) but it won't run on Vista.

At least, it won't for me.

So now i wait for a new build or a workaround. But i'll be back eventually, when my machine is cool enough to play with ya'all.

Some post's here about Jumpgate and Vista, and you do know i was being
facetious and meant god help Jumpgate if there was anything close to it ?

Don’t get me wrong love the game without question, its just the rest Im debating.

Tim

Yeah.. most of the threads end with 'i've gotten to the point where i can launch in the flux sim, but launching anywhere else locks everything up', and then everybody switches to a non-vista machine. heh.

And i was able to deftly track your hidden meaning with the quote.. i'm just saying it's perhaps the single most eloquent summation of the love/hate relationship involving jumpgate I've ever had the fortune to read.

Lordopic

ty,

now back on topic

While i have not had a chance to test it yet, which is why i have not updated the thread yet... if you get your hands on a copy of virtualisation software, jumpgate should run in a virtual win98 or xp environment.

Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

or

VMware: Virtualization, Virtual Machine & Virtual Server Consolidation - VMware

You will need a valid copy of win98 or XP to install on these virtual machines.

If you can confirm that will work... feel free to post. I hopefully will get a chance to test this in a few weeks once things calm down from our move.

Heh.. how much money do you guys have to throw at computer games? Second and third computers? New full operating systems? Man.. talk about living the good life :P

I'll just have to wait until they figure out how to code a game for vista. Soon(tm), i'm sure.

This is exactly why I'm not in a hurry to switch to Vista. There aren't any compatibility issues with XP and I haven't come across a game yet that has any trouble running at 32 bits. I'm sure some of the "next-gen" games coming out soon would benefit from 64 bit processing, but until I'm in the market for them, I'll stick with what works

Milkman

I have alot of PCs and software because its my main hobby as well as my job. I fix PCs on the side and just use that money to stick back into my hobby. As for software... well im a bit lucky there. I have a technet membership (non-expiring trial keys for my testing) thanks to my employer as well as an old college roommate who works for Microsoft... He uses his employee store points to send me a few gift baskets of software a year. :P And no, i can't resell the software to you or anyone else... i would not want to loose my source of software. Im greedy like that, and i don't want to get MS after me. :P

FYI the MS virtual software is free i believe anyway if you already have vista.... and virtual machine means you don't need a second box.

Also i agree on sticking with XP if you can. Im only running vista for testing purposes. My main work/play boxes are all winxp.

Milkman

MS virtual PC does not support direct3d... so.. thats a no go for jumpgate.

I had to call customer service to reactivate... royal pain
