Default Re: Will this old title ever get upgraded?

What I don't understand Matt and I think I speak for Andy as well, is that without my glasses I could not read anything on this forum or in the game yet with them on I can read the text of any game screen in desktop mode easily without any strain whatsoever......it's perfectly clear when I look at it,I couldn't ask for it to be any clearer and I'm using a widescreen Samsung monitor........so I just do NOT understand " I can't read the screens or see the icons clearly" that are reported by some players.

Yes there are threads about people having a hard time getting the game to run under various MS OS systems but that happens with any number of programs. I have a number that only run in my old XP machine but neither of these games are in that category. MANY of the issues came from us putting the game into program files years ago at the recommendation of Shrapnel games. Up to that time we installed it where it's installed now and had we left that alone I'd day 75% of the "issues" that have been brought up about the game not running for some people would not have been reported but we were asked to put it under Program files and when we switched the installer back to the game installed under C:/ that created new problems when people didn't pay attention to where their game was and where the new patches were going. When you elliminate those two items and people trying run the game with a new OS and old graphic drivers the number of problems is relatively small considering all we have done to the code over the years
