Skyline Release 0.8.0 RC1 Beta

[SolarPortal]

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.

XP Update:

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

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)

@genart: You should be able to run Skyline on your system
We will upload the patch for you once we have it completed

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.

(if I am not mistaken)

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

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

Ha! Really, the loader is started and works.
Fine.
Gratitude from the XP user!

We will sort out the XP patch today
