How To Make SS2 Work On Your Windows XP

[Nopperabou]

applied patch and fix, made sure only one processor running, entered safe texture manager line in cfg, still won't run :(

[Zemon95]

@Nopperabou Aw.. :( Im assuming you're using xp right? However, i recomend that you enter that website that is shown in the video, the link pops up at 0:05. The link is perfectly safe, you have my word on it. Anyways scroll down and look for a solution that seems to match your problem. This is how i made it work on my computer. Im sure they can help you to :) Hope you get it to work!

Hello,

Did you need to put in an activation code during installation? I am asking this because I might buy this game used.

[Zemon95]

@xo0oxblackbeltxo0ox Hey, sounds like a great idea to buy this game. It will totally blow your mind :)

There is no such thing as activation nor cd key for this game, no worries :).

Although you should keep in mind that the game might have some problem to install on new systems like Windows 7 / xp

(The game was made for windows 95)

The problem is very often (as shown in this video) That the game is made for 1 processor, not dual processor like the new computers often have.

Good luck!

[7900gtx512pwnege]

@Zemon95 Hey worked, thanks alot, this really opened up puzzle why this game always crashed, 2 dual core issue who would've thought.

[Zemon95]

@7900gtx512pwnege Glad i could help and glad it work.

You seem to know more than me so i leave the rest with the dual core thing to you, wish you have a great playing time with one of the best ever made!

Good luck. :)

Jag tycker din engelska är bra för en svensk 13-åring!

[Zemon95]

@fbendz Man tackar,

alltså finns det fortfarande gammla herderliga svenskar som är interesserade av system shock :)? Det var som fan, tack för kommentaren!

[fbendz]

@Zemon95 Nja, jag blev intresserad bara för att det är föregångaren till Bioshock. Men spelet är jäkligt bra för att vara ett gammalt DOS-spel. Grafiken slår den i Quake II tycker jag, trots att spelet är mer "primitivt" (nästan ingen 3D-grafik). Jag kände för att börja ett FPS-spel och då var det läge med System Shock 2.

[Zemon95]

@fbendz Aha, jo bioshock är grymt det med. Har varvat ettan, men varva system shock 2. Grymt val alltså! Lycka till :)

[NuclearNac]

after several  times of trying to run this game on xp i find it hard to believe that the solution is that simple; but it actually works for me

thanks a lot :))

[Zemon95]

@NuclearNac Awesome! Glad you taked your time writing your comment.

People like you are the ones i love to help :)

[theplock99]

LMAO YOU USE PAINT

[Zemon95]

@theplock99 Haha yes i know xD it was because this was before i was edditing the video in wmm, and thats why i used paint XD

[tdobbin]

Thanks alot man :D

[Zemon95]

No problem, glad i could help you! i gues it worked so have a nice SS2 game play now :D!

[tdobbin]

@Zemon95 haha well it launched but I dont have a NO CD crack :P

[Zemon95]

Yea its a bit anoying that you have to use a cd to play it haha :)

[tdobbin]

@Zemon95 I usualy get cracks cause I hate using cd's so I just copyed everything form the CD to a iso and mounted it, worked fine :3

Great game its classic

[SubaruSue]

thanks for that. however i get an error message just after the cutscene as you choose your career.

Any ideas on how to resolve this problem?

[Zemon95]

i have no idea, but sometimes when you unbox CPU 0 it dosen't want to show the intro film, thats probably cause CPU 0 have something to do with that, so either way you can try to reset the CPU 0 just for that moment when the error message come, and exactly after it turn it on. Or you can right click on the icon to system shock 2 and press quality, property, characteristic i dont know wich of that word but press the last one when you right click on the icon and press Compabilite or something

[Zemon95]

and try to run it with windows 95, cuz i think thats the main windows verision to this game so it maybe works then :) if not, try the other windows verision to :D like windows 2000 , i hope it works man really =) good luck!

[Zemon95]

look at the video again , cause after 4 seconds it comes upp a note with a site, try that site, they have all the problems + all the solves

[Zemon95]

Hope you had the same prob as me x) or no prob at all xD

[Zemon95]

Hope it works for you :) if its anything you dont understand in this vid, ask me and i will try to explain it :)
