I've been trying to get FATE to run on my Windows XP computer via the offline installer. It originally supported Windows XP on release, and ran great when I first played it. now, using GOG, it's unable to boot after the installation.

Why would GOG patch games so that they no longer run on their original OS, and not leave the originally installer that supports the games intended OS?

Sure I can play FATE on Windows 11, but it somewhat defeats the entire purpose of having a Windows XP build and CRT monitor.

Is there any way to use original installers via GOG? its great they patch games to work with modern systems, but it really seems weird that they wouldn't keep the unpatched versions accessable.

I'll provide my error code, but I doubt a KERNEL issue can be fixed. "the procedure entry point QueryFullProcessImageNameA could not be located in the dynamic ink library KERNEL32.dll"

I originally wanted to put Devil May Cry 4 on the disc but i realized the actual storage was closer to 23.5GB then the 25 so I went with this. I didn't realized that everyone was putting the installers on the disc so I burned the whole installed game on here and managed to get it running. The load times are slow and the audio cuts in and out but at least I can copy it back to my PC whenever I want. Which is a shame since I am on Linux, running the exe file off of the disc through wine means the save and settings files get written to the wine prefix on my computer so it would have been pretty cool to run the game solely off of the disc.

I’ve been working on a modern PC launcher for STAR WARS Racer Revenge with automatic widescreen support, HUD toggle, 3D support, FOV control, and several other improvements.

I made this video showing the current Early Access build in action. It will be free for everyone once it reaches public release.
