Why would you have problems playing them on your computer? All GoG games are specifically designed not to have the kind of issues that you'd have if you tried to simply reinstall an old copy. I guess there could be fringe cases in which it wouldn't work at all, but I haven't heard many people say they've had any issues with GoG bought games. Now if you buy old games from Steam...that gets dicey for whatever reason.Neronium said:
Ah, I see. Well these are my first GoG games, since there really wasn't anything that caught my eye, and I've installed them now and they work great. But yeah my friend bought me the Fallout pack from Steam once on the sale and it wouldn't work because my graphics card, even on the lowest settings, would still mess with the game so I had given up on them. But now that they work I'm happy.shintakie10 said:
I think its because Steam doesn't actually do anythin with the old games they release except, well...release them. On GoG they (I'm not sure if its the guys who work at GoG specifically or someone else) goes in and touches up the code so that everythin works fine on new hardware.Neronium said:Ah, I see.

the same reason anyone trying to play them would have problems. the games are buggy as hell. What modern Behesda does is peanuts compared to how buggy the first two fallout games were. Mind you, they were great games and all but they were very buggy.shintakie10 said:
I think GOG creates artificial machine that they put the game to run in. At least that was my experience with it, emulating the machine for the game so the game things its running where it was designed to, and modern PC can handle the emulation easily.shintakie10 said:
It depends on the game but I would say for fallout that's quite likely, some newer games are 'patched' to fix compatibility issues, it just depends what the issue is (Windows 95+ games are patched, DoS games get the dosbox emulation). GoG are the guys that fix the games, which is why they have the working version and also why I have bought more than a few games from them that I've either previously owned or wanted but missed the first time around.Strazdas said:
