Does the 1.03 version that GOG sells (cheaply, I'll admit) work with Windows 7, 64?

I own and love this game, but it doesn't play well on Windows 7... The best I could do with it was run it in an upscaled resolution, with vertical bars on either side (1280x1024 upscaled to 2560x1600).

Also, I haven't been able to download the 1.3 patch anywhere.

Congratulations, this seems nice!

On another note, where did you get that floating Tempests desktop?

My sincere congratulations, B! This message is to confirm that the game plays PERFECTLY at 2560 x 1600.

PS. Is there a method to donate other than PayPal?

So I had this great idea: set my monitor to other resolutions and try to play!

1920 x 1080 and 1920 x 1440 worked fine with the fix, but 2048 x 1536 did not (this is my older CRT monitor max resolution).

Can you please take another look at the fix? Thank you in advance!

I would like to contribute that I've tested the game extensively* on 2560x1600 and it plays wonderfully. The resolution was supported by the out-of-the-box version, and I noticed no glitches or anything.

I downloaded the 1.0c exe, and the game still ctds after running the 2560x1600 exe. However, I came across this mention of a reward for whoever fixes this game, maybe you should claim it?

I think there's something wrong with my version of the game. The .msi installer posts 2 warnings in yellow for versions 1.0c and 1.0e, and there's messages about the files not being the expected size.

What I did was: install AOEII and AOEIITC (from e: to c:, I no longer have the cds), install ...

I have not managed to get the game to run on 2560 x 1600. The installer .msi seems to do its work correctly, creating the expected files, for the 1.0c version that I downloaded... but no gameplay (menus work correctly).

Any help would be appreciated!

Update: the game ran once, with ...

Has this been tested for 2560x1600? I'm about to test it myself over the weekend, as work permits.

Congratulations to Boekabart though!
