There is no single player mode. He only claimed that you can play the game without grouping essentially. Hmmm that's a bit different then. I'm cautiously looking forward to it, maybe I will let my buddy buy it first before putting my my money down. With respect to Fallout 4, I've moderated my …

Post what you are doing line by line and we'll tell you what you are doing wrong. Here's a hint: You shouldn't be "booting" anything unless you want to of course.

Hmmm just thought of something. The steam fanboys always mention that Valve will push out a magical patch to make their (ie Valve) games offline when Valve disappears. Since they are dropping XP and Vista support (just like when 9x and 2000 support was dropped), this is their chance to prove it …

No single player but supposedly you can solo it, unknown if it would be worth it to do so. Unknown if you can setup your own dedicated server or not.

I'm sure a wrapper will come out to support it like kernelex does for Steam on Windows 2000. https://msfn.org/board/topic/176757-extended-kernel-for-xp-extendedxp/ Really though Steam isn't needed. Just crack the game, emulate Steam or if the game doesn't require Steam then your're good. If you use …

I didn't think GOG owned the rights to any games..... They have agreements with the publishers which allow them to distribute the games. If you want to share stuff with GOG then talk to GOG.....

Most likely your video card drivers have a bug. Try older or newer versions. You can also disable your video card in device manager to test with WARP.

"DOS pgm" is pretty vague. How about you tell us what program you are using? Also post the commands you are using to mount your drives and launch the program.

In todays world it's not supposed to make sense and if you try to argue you'll be accused of being a "insert whatever here" to shut you down so best not to comment on it.

I'll be giving this a try when I work on the unofficial DOSBox builds for the guide soon. Thanks for updating it.

I was able to accept Fallout 3+ for what they were (not fallout) but I have no interest in online games unless they go open source or allow offline usage so yeah not going to happen here. I'm sure Bethesda will make enough money without me. Have fun "fallout" fans.

With my builds of DOSBox you can use DOSBox on 3.51 but you'd probably need a Pentium to play 286 or less games with it. Haven't bothered to recompile them yet but you can also use ScummVM and Exult https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=52102 So assuming enough processing power that should bump …
