Gametap client - Vista update, no support of 64-bit still

sc30002 · **Joined:** Wed Aug 30, 2006 4:27 pm **Posts:** 74

I just contacted GT and the Vista compatible client is coming out on Uru Live Launched date which is February 15th, but they still have not gotten there act together since it will not install on Vista 64-bit of any type, only on the the 32-bit edition's.

It is very odd it don't support 64-bit since it is starting to get more major and I see more and more using a 64-bot OS instead of a 32-bit one since there computer can run both. I can see me and many other's will still be using the Beta Standalone installer since GT screwed up yet again and wont undate there software to insatll on at least Vista 64-bit.

Currently I have been running XP Pro 64-bit for well over a year and so far GT has been just about the only program that refuses's to install for me or even a company that seem's to hate 64-bit so much and not update there software to install on it, even if not all the stuff on there service will run on it. It woudl be good if they released a version that would work even if not all the game's would run on the OS.

Cyan should post an alternate way to play Uru on a 64-bit OS, like post the installer that us 64-bit user's can use, since GT still refuse's to update there software for 64-bit.

Uru Live is currently not supported on 64-bit versions of Windows.

You can file a ticket about it to show your interest.

If it is not supported then why doe's it run perfectly fine in the OS? I have less problem's w/ it, then I do in the 32-bit Win XP Pro.

Edit: I just checked and it doe's not say it is not supported since it dont specify 32-bit, which then it could mean it support's both version's.

Not supported doesn't mean that it doesn't work; it just means that you won't receive any official support for it.

Considering new PC's are now coming loaded with Vista 64bit, GameTap is going to be in some serious trouble if they can't get their act together.

I'm sure 64-bit support will come soon, but I'll take 32-bit Vista support rather than no support at all at first.

supported -> You may blame us when it doesn't run
unsupported -> It may work but don't blame us if it doesn't
experimental -> Try it on your own risk. It may set your hamster on fire.

Where does "The installer won't allow you to try it" fit into that? I think that's the current frustration, we can't even try it on Vista 64bit because the installer just spews out an "Unsupported Version" message.

I'm tempted to install it on a 32bit box so I can see what happens if I just copy the Gametap folder directly over to a box running Vista 64bit...for all we know it could work just fine.

Only 4 days to wait for Vista support in GT.

So far I haven't been able to get MOUL to run on the 32-bit version of Windows Vista. Here's hoping they come up with a fix soon..

I was able to avoid stackdumps by setting it to always run as administrator, try it once by right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting "run as administrator" (the one with the colorful shield next to it). This may work, it may not, and I have no idea what'll happen if you try within gametap.

Run as administrator, give everyone on the map mystonline full right, run as windows xp compatible, turn off glass aero, but nothing seems to help.
HELPPPPP!!!!!!

you need to set both the UruLauncher.exe and Urueplorer.exe files to Windows XP compatibility. if that doesn't work, try setting the uruexplorer.exe file to Windows 98/ME compatibility. (it works fine for me with the two files set to Windows XP SP2 compatibility.)

You will need to do this at the acutal executable files (when you set the shortcut on your desktop to the compatibility it is only affecting the UruLauncher.exe file. find the Uruexplorer.exe file and set the compatibility there and it should work fine.

the windows xp compatible doesnt work for me, but the windows 98 me ??? does!!!!! txs
