Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds

Am I the only one who thinks this is the best game ever?

Unfortunatly it won't work on a windows 7 computer. Unless someone has had luck in doing that.

Anyone? Best game EVA!?!?

Don't bump threads.

Why won't it work on Windows 7?

I don't entirely know. It says something like "Could not initialize graphics card. Please make sure your video card and driver is compatible with directdraw."

But when I run diagnostics provided by the game itself it says the game should work perfectly.

Thats the thing...I did. 7 and vista just don't seem to like old PC games.

Have you ever played this game?

I had it on Vista Ultimate 64 bit, and it ran fine. I haven't tried it on Windows 7 (at least, I don't recall doing it).

have you tried running it in compatibility mode?

Yep.

Then I don't know what to tell you. Directdraw drivers should have fixed the issue.

How did you like the game when you had it?

I honestly didn't like it that much, compared to the likes of BFME, DOW and the like.

And all it was really just Age Of Empires for Star Wars.

Really? The game case says it works on XP.

Really? To me the game was like Halo wars but with infinitly more things to do. Especially when playing with friends.

Well obvisouly the game is'nt "THAT" old then.

Try running it with the compatibility mode options AND running it in windowed mode. For some reason, some older games work in windowed mode and various compatibility settings.
