While the executables are mostly 16-bit or 32-bit or 64-bit, some go out of the norm and use a different format. Here is one such linked executable. The file opens in Windows XP, but nowhere after that. Can anybody tell how to open it?

Greetings, I registered so I could find out if there is a solution for this problem: Populous: The Beginning crashes with fast memory access turned on. The game works if I turn it off, but alot of the textures become white (I heard it's a problem with AMD GPUs). I was wondering if it's possible to …

I applied about 2 weeks ago for a VOGONSWIKI account. Since then I haven't yet received an email from there and thus I can't login. I have tried the same process again, but there is no email still as well. Is there anything else I should try or the mods can do?

I finished S4 of Stranger Things. Overall I think the season could have been ended here, instead of pulling to another season. In my opinion, the timing of when this was known was too late and they could have pulled a few things earlier. The end of it seemed rushed.

I don't see any point now. The answer has been said clearly. Mods can't check each and every post and some violations can get unnoticed. The user can avoid it as much as possible, and for a mistake the mod may remove a link or such. There was probably no need to make such a scene out of this small …

I installed the original version of the game (version 1.07 I think) but the sky texture was there with 2.79. The game could be patched to 1.18 if I got it right but anything else higher is D3D9(?). I use 1.18 as well, the newer versions are newer engines so they change the architecture. The stars …

You mean the HUD has suddenly become correct with dgv2? How can that be? (how could be wrong...)

I wish I knew the answer, but the game behaves so inconsistent and absurd …
