we will be releasing a patch for the Windows XP version of skyline over the next couple of days.
As stated before it will require XP Service pack 3 for an uptodate(well for xp lol) version of the Kernel32.dll.

Also skyline still depends on the hardware.
A decent card with good video ram doesn't go amiss.

We have managed to get Skyline up and running on our XP test PC. :D

Our test PC only has a small GFX card with 256mb vram so we are now looking at ways to get skyline to run on low powered/spec machines.

@genart: what spec is your PC. what gfx card are you running and what video memory? etc


My PC specification:
- Intel P Dual CPU E2160, 1.8Ghz
- 2Gb Ram
- Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT (~512Mb vram)

XP Update 2:
In order to release an XP version, we have to make sure that it is an auto-updatable system, otherwise it will break every single time you update skyline to a newer version.

Will keep you posted on development and release times.

To all; we are planning an auto update for everyone else aswell. :)

Hi SolarPortal,

If the WinXP updating means, in this case everything depends on updating of VC++ packages as WinXP any more won't be updated.

no no, not windows xp updating. This is the skyline software update, which you will need to keep skyline up to date. ;)
You will have a copy soon.

We are running all our tests on an old machine of ours.

its a:
2.8ghz pentium 4 processor
1gig ram
256mb Geforce 5600
Window XP SP3

This means we know that it will work on your computer.

XP Update 3:
We have upgraded the Download manager with the fix for XP SP3.
Please Use the download link provided in the email again :D

The editor still needs to be patched, coming soon. At least you can install Skyline :P
