ABOUT But can it run in Win XP?

These games should run on your computer.

You wanna buy/play a game but you hesitate cause it says Requirements: Vista/Win 7/etc or up? Same here.

We're making a list of games where Win XP isn't officially supported or listed, but we managed to run them fine on a 32-bit machine with XP Service Pack 3 (at the time we played them anyway). Can't vouch for 64-bit, previous Service Packs or if there was an update that won't let it run on XP anymore.

Rowtan's specs: Intel Celeron E1400 Dualcore 2GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 210 (that's DirectX 10 compatible apparently), 32-bit machine with 2 GB RAM and Service Pack 3

We'll also do the reverse and warn you if the game does have XP listed in the req, but it doesn't play as it should.

If there are other games that run please post here. If you tried a game we mentioned and it doesn't work, refund it if possible and tell us so we can update this list.

The Bard's Tale's remastered & resnarkled update made it stop working on XP but the store page still lists it as supported. I think they made it 64-bit, so it might run on 64-bit XP.

It's possible to access the pre-update version and it works fine, but you need a beta key: TheBardsTaleUnsnarkled

The demo for Mainlining works on XP SP3 32-bit, while claiming Win 7 as minimum. I don't own the game yet so can't check if the full game also works.

Realpolitiks works on XP SP3 32-bit, with caveats.

The first 2 scenarios work fully. The third scenario can be played fine, but trying to save causes a crash, and the resulting save is corrupted and unusable. Autosave doesn't crash, but trying to load the autosave causes a crash, so overall there's no way to save the game in the third scenario. As far as I can tell the problem is caused by the game running out of memory, the third scenario is more memory intensive. I can't test if the /3GB switch helps, because my OS BSODs when I try to start it in /3GB mode.

Also, exiting to the main menu or trying to load a (working) save from within an active game causes a crash, so the player has to restart every time they need to start a new game or load a save. Thankfully loading time isn't too bad. Presumably this too is caused by running out of memory.
