If you're using windows 8, Do NOT buy this game

The sounds are incompatible with Win 8 and the developer has shown little to no interest in fixing their old games. This game will NOT work on windows 8 until the developer fixes the sound crash.

So, I'm using Win8 and bought the game in the current deal... I have NO sound bugs, it runs pretty smooth. :)

Freezing_Rain I think you misunderstand the "Sound Crash" is when you're playing for a bit and then the game stops working after it encounters a sound or two it can't figure out. your 0.3 hours in game confirms this.

you don't even own the game according to steam. so unless you have a non-steam version (which doesn't exist) you're lying... especially considering you have mostly Free to Play games in your account...

that's some lame stuff right there.

well, you're still wrong.

or you could prove otherwise. Especially since Vlambeer themselves have identified this problem and have commented on it's pending fix "soon."

seriously, the game will run for maybe 3 minutes, but random certain sounds will cause a crash.
