Win XP compatability for various Shrapnel games?

Hi folks,

I'm new here. I've popped in a few times. I'm interested in most of the titles but I'm just about ready to do a clean install of WinXP Pro. I was wondering since I can't find any information: what compatability issues are there for the various games? I'm likely to buy SEIV Gold but I'm interested in many.

You'll have no problems with XP and RuneSword II.

I don't have Xp so cannot talk about it first-handed, but I would wonder if Space Empires 4 wouldn't work on XP. It does so on W2k at least.

Thanks,

I'm still hoping for someone who's actually running stuff on XP Pro but I'm feeling less concerned.

Rebuilding my Abit BH6 system this weekend to ASUS A7V333. I'm quite happy with the three+ years of BH6 but doing my every 3 years or so upgrade. All sorts of new bells & whistles on the A7V333, of course that's probably why I bought it.

Well I'll keep bouncing in, in the past I've played a lot of Birth of the Federation with several mods and I'm interested in SE IV gold with mods too.

I'm also a middle aged board gamer. I use to Subscribe to S&T in the 70's. The USArmy got all my time for a few years, now I'm just a avid hobbiest.

I am running The War Engine on XP Pro and there are no problems. Great game, looks fantastic on Dell's 17" flat black moniter.

Thanks again,

What's your summary of the War Engine?

I just finished the hard part of my upgrade. Now on to making sure all my drivers & software are updated.

Really tired but plugging along after all night fiddlin with new mobo/OS etc.
