OldFatGuy: You should probably start a support ticket.

The only thing you're likely to get here in the forums is the bullshit response of "Well the store page doesn't list Windows 11 as being supported."

timppu: But it does:

Works on: Windows (7, 8, 10, 11)

If it didn't list Windows 11 as supported, then likely GOG support would simply reply with just that, "Unfortunately the game does not support your OS, so sorry.". Albeit, if a game is supported in Windows 10, I'd be surprised it would refuse to work on Windows 11; they are not that different.
On my browser (Firefox), Army Men RTS shows only "Windows (XP, Vista, 7,8,10). Screenshot

EDIT: Oh geez, I see now on the right side it does list 11. I don't remember noticing that before. Do other games have differences in what it says under "System Requirements" and what it says on "Works On?".

EDIT2: Yeah, I see other games with differences too. Might be a good idea if both were the same, yes?

In your screenshot, look at the "game details" part.

Agree, can be confusing for unsure users buying the game.

How I normally understand it, the "System Requirements" usually means what they were on the original release of the game, while the "Works on" is the updated list for the GOG version, ie. what are the OSes where GOG supports it right now.

That is why you see e.g. Windows XP on the "System Requirements", even if GOG hasn't supported XP for quite awhile I think.

DOSBox games may be an exception to this, I guess GOG will not list whether the original MS-DOS version required CGA or EGA graphics back in 1988.
