Discussion / It's nice to see this is still going on!

Hi guys,

I was a big fan of Battlebots and all the other shows; I live in the S.F. Bay Area and even got to see a few of the events in person.  I got Robot Arena when it was new, played it for awhile and forgot about it.  It's great to see that there is still a community for it, but that it still works on current computers!

I will probably play around a bit with single player and get back into it.  But first I'll find a controller so I can use a stick instead of the keyboard!

General Support / Re: Game keeps crashing

Another tip: I had problems until I ran the game in "Compatibility Mode" for XP.  I'm using Windows 7 and just rediscovered this game forum.  I didn't know people were still playing it!

I downloaded the standard version from the link on this site.  It crashed a lot until I used Compatibility Mode.  To do this in Windows 7:

- Go into the install folder and find the game exe, Robot Arena 2.exe
- Right-click on it and pick "Properties"
- Pick the Compatibility tab
- Check the box for "Run this in compatibility mode for:" and pick Windows XP (Service Pack 3), then click the Apply button and the OK button.

Now try running it again - this may clear up the problems you were having.
