Hi,

I bought Arcanum from GOG.com today, it's always been one of those games i wanted to play but never got around to do.
I found the wonderful thread in this forum about all the fixes. The only problem is that i run a Win7 64 system and the .exe files wont run.
It says "you cant run a 32 bit program on a 64 bit system". This might sound like a easy problem but i cant get around it. I tried to run as admin but that didnt work.

Any help would be lovely

Thank you

First thing i would do is to re-download the fixes, those files should run just fine on a 64 bit OS, maybe the files you have there got corrup during the download. Make sure your Anti Virus is not getting in the way of the download.

re-downloading dosnt work, they dont work for me. I have downloaded the files from 2 diffrent places. I dont have the UAC activ and i even tried to run it under "compatable mode" but still get the same problem. Its not the anti-virus who blockes it.

Im at a lose here... :(
Well it seem like all the links in the big thread is bugged. When i dl the files there pretty small (5kb).

When dl from http://terra-arcanum.com i get the correct HIGHRES links, they can be found here:

http://www.terra-arcanum.com/downloads/arcanum/fixes/HQ_Townmaps.exe
http://www.terra-arcanum.com/downloads/arcanum/highres/HighRes1.1a.exe

The patch from http://www.shsforums.net/topic/33528-arcanum-unofficial-patch-extras/
still works but nothing else from the thread, all files are 5kb when downloading.

Weird, i just tested the UAP and HighRes patch download links in Phanboy4's post and both files came out ok.

In any case, did you managed to grab everything you needed ?

Ye, i DL the map/gfx pack + the patch. It works great now, although the res pack bugged when it asked about the font ingame, if i wanted to install a bigger font. At this point i got big fat ERROR msg:s all over and had to skip them. Not sure how it will affect the game but it will probobly be alright, i set the res to 1680x1050 so not super high.

Awesome!

I'm not sure about that error you mentioned, you probably just skipped the bigger font install, which shouldn't cause you any problems.
