Hey guys, my laptop died and I have to get a new one. Problem is, I'm not sure if the new laptop will run Robot Arena 2. I had XP on my old laptop, I'm thinking of getting a new one with Windows 7. Will Robot Arena 2 with DSL run? What OS's do you guys use?
Thanks.
EDIT: salvaged the replicas from a backup drive. I lost some videos I was working on, but the important thing is all my bots are safe and sound.
-
Windows 7 will run, but glitches will be harder.
I recommend Windows XP SP2 or Windows 95 Plus.
-
RA2 is fine for me on my Windows 7 laptop.

For me, stacking is harder on Windows 7.
-
DSL and stock both run fine on my Win7 laptop... but I can't stack a single thing. I think Fotepx is right when he says glitches will be harder.
-
I run on XP and I can't stack anyway, so I have no problems.
-
When you say glitches, what exactly do you mean besides stacking?
-
Axle loading and Trinity. Never been able to do either on my Win7, done both on my XP.
-
I can still axle load, never tried the trinity glitch. Trov Glitch is fine.
-
I run Windows 7 on my laptop, and both Stock and DSL run perfectly fine. I can stack, eFFe, Axle Load, Trov Glitch, Trinity, Snapper Load, in fact pretty much everything. I don't find glitches any harder on Windows 7 at all, to be honest.
-
Yea guys, I can't glitch at all on windows 7. I mean seriously all those tutorial videos I made were completely special effects and computer animation, and I make all my bots in photoshop.
-
HOW COULD YOU SAGE!?
-
My favorite is Ubuntu, but after that is Windows 7
-
Wheres the love for 3.1?

I'll give it some love, if my grandma gives me my old PC back :gawe:

Yeah Honeycomb is the best tablet operating system to date! :trollface
-
I use Windows 7 and the games work perfectly. Just have problems zooming out in battles and building bots.

The answer is simple... Stick to what you know works well for you. You say that you had been running XP. Then I would stick XP.
On the plus side, it should be cheaper too.

I thought XP was outdated, do they still make computers with it?
-
To be completely honest, the transition from XP to 7 was extremely natural. A couple minutes of playing around with it, and I found it just as easy to use as XP. It's a lot prettier, too.
-
Yeah, Its vista thats the one to watch out for :mrgreen:
I still <3 XP though..
-
Using Win 4 Pro 64bit here. RA2 works fine. (and by fine i mean that it only crashes every now and then like RA2 normally would)
I can't vouch for glitches being harder because I don't use glitches at much as everyone else.
-
You dont have to choose your OS revolving around RA2 alone o.O
Unless RA2 is your life & The only thing you do in a PC :P
But I recommend Windows 7, I use it, I never used XP for playing RA2 & I can do the glitches with no prob at all :3
-

Eww.
Using Win 4 Pro 64bit here.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

QFT!!! :D
I wish there was another OS that was like a Linux but you can do Windows stuff... (Not Wine, It sucks)
The only reason why Windows is do succesful its coz EVERYTHING is made for Windows.
Something like xBox vs PS3, Maybe the PS3 has better hardware but the xBox has Halo & Other stuff that everybody loves so most people get xBox.

So, basically Microsoft Windows has a monopoly on PCs, and Microsoft Xbox 360 has a monopoly on gaming...
Hmm... It's like they have trillions upon trillions of dollars backing each of them or something... :laughing

Well, Windows does kinda have the Monopoly on PCs, And the xBox is the most "popular" (Not by SOO much though) of the Next-Gen consoles, So you could say that Microsoft is pretty much in control :P
