Gunslinger87 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I disagree... the game (though the fluff has changed somewhat since the release) is probably the closest adaptation of the game to the PC. The format is perfect for the tabletop equivalent. Sadly, we can hardly expect to see something similar in today's "all games must be arcade action games" era. PS You will probably need Microsoft Virtual PC and a Windows 98 cd... otherwise the game runs horribly and has some serious crashes in XP-later. (crashes every time a las pistol used by cultists is fired etc) really only works on 98.

Abelard Tullus Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Fix for the las pistol crash, as posted in a previous thread - Cultist Las Pistol Fix Also, compatibility fixes, as posted in a thread awhile back - Chaos Gate compatibility fixes (can also find the link for the las pistol fix in this thread) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213434-chaos-gate/#findComment-2539686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger87 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Sorry bro, but those fixes only work in about one in ten cases :sweat: I've tried... I've got witnesses :-D The only sure way of playing this game is in Windows 98 (or Win98 via virtual PC). I would try them first of course, but I think its faster just to set up the virtual PC than tweak things for a day and find out it wont work properly anyways.

Octavulg Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 MW2 will actually work on XP, as an aside. Titanium edition won't, though. I tried the cultist fix, and it didn't work. But I may have done it wrong. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213434-chaos-gate/#findComment-2540407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger87 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Even if the cultist fix did work for you. There are other crash sounds in the game (such as units arriving from the warp) which aren't fixed even if the las pistol works for you. And you really dont want to go through and edit every mission and get rid of all of it... too much work and you will always miss something... Virtual PC only way to go... Or buy an old win98 computer for 50 bucks :-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213434-chaos-gate/#findComment-2540414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunslinger87 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 15 or 16 i think :( But it is worth the trouble... the game has a great atmosphere and RPG elements.
