Hi, BGT has had to be recompiled to support Elias. It is both the Elias engine itself and that version of BGT that won’t work on XP. Manamon doesn’t use Elias, and yet that still requires Windows 7 or later. More and more things are ending XP support, NVDA for one. Microsoft itself ended support f

The issue actually has nothing to do with Bgt, unless it was compiled with a later version of Visual Studio. But the Elias Composer Studio, at least version 1.7 *the version of the Elias dll used in bgt is version 1* doesn't work on xp, producing the same error message that this is not a valid win3

There was that xp issue that's plagued all of VG's games. They did promise to fix it with Psycho Strike, but its continued into their other titles, and, as far as I know, they've been saying their games run on xp the whole time (which means something's weird if they won't even update the manual)

Hi, Just because a game isn’t updated doesn’t mean it’s been discontinued. As for Psycho Strike, you can still purchase it, it’s still playable, thus to my mind it’s not discontinued. Personally, I don’t see what needs updating. The game is stable enough. I haven’t seen any bugs in the 30 months
