Just a quick complaining session, I had a major nostalgia trip today after discovering Astonia V3 was still alive online so decided to track down some V2 servers (V2 was shut long ago but the source is now public).

I came across one called Aranock so I downloaded it, unzipped and then tried to play and I got… a black screen.
I used Ctrl-Alt-Del to get out and tried again with compatability settings, it is an old game after all, and I got… a black screen.

I had a look on the forums and all people suggest is either changing compat settings or running in a VM (overkill for some old MMO). I tried every compatability setting I could before I gave off and went to play Eve, feeling quite disapointed.

I’m sure I’ll have another bash at it soon but having to install XP in a VM JUST to play an old game is going too far for me.
