Enders Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 it really shouldn't...I would expect with the amount of intelligance VALVe has (*snicker*) that they would make all of this completely compatible with every OS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio Posted October 16, 2003 Author Share Posted October 16, 2003 seams like a majority on Steam Powered forums who have problems use XP, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enders Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 XP was always on the unsable side...when RtCW was released...you couldn't play it because XP would recongize it's game file as a virus file...creepy stuff reallybut on this case, I really don't see how XP could screw everything up...
