Home on the front.

<span class="bold">Act of War: Gold Edition</span>, a 2005 RTS wonder, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com!


<span class="bold">Act of War: Gold Edition</span> is a sleeper-hit real time strategy game written by well known author and veteran Dale Brown. The terrorists have made their way onto US soil, and you're in charge of a new direct action operations group known as Task Force TALON. Your only resource here is money, but you'll have to look in various places to maintain a steady flow - that includes extracting oil, capturing POWs, and even the occasional bank raid (for the greater good). <span class="bold">Act of War Gold Edition</span> features fully destructible environments, gameplay that will force you out of your unit-spam habit, and plenty of live-action cutscenes for some real well written camp.

This Gold Edition pack includes the Act of War: High Treason expansion pack set three years after the events in the base game. Aside from a brand new campaign, the expansion introduces two new skirmish modes, battles at sea and 50+ new units with plenty of graphics and gameplay improvements.

ShadowOwl: Is it completely broken or just not working on certain systems?
It's borken and broken, unfortunately :(

ShadowOwl: Awwwww, too bad, was looking around to fiddle around with that thing.
Sorry :(

Basically, this game was one of our most troublesome ones and it's a miracle we were able to get it to work.

Maybe there is some fan project to get it to work...
Nice avatar, btw :)

tfishell: Harder than Revenant? :P

Well props for that! I wish you guys would let us know the troubles you go through getting these games to work. TET was tossing around the idea of making a video series about this years back but nothing came to fruition. :-/
Apparently easier than Revenant since it's released today and all :P

Harzzach: I can imagine ... so, you were finally able to fix the RAM bug with modern Windows OS, where you had to limit the RAM to 2 GB?

Was this your own solution or did you use the fixed "d3d9.dll" which showed up about two years ago?
I am not sure if we used that .DLL as I don't deal with the technical side of these things.

If we did use that DLL and it solved our problems then we would've released the game two years ago instead of now :)

As far as I know, we used our own solution for the memory issue :)

RudyLis: You're welcome. Game works smooth, apparently, only slight cursor flickering within a mission in AMD card (can't check in Nvidia), nothing big or problematic really, and periodical "blinking" of objects that are on the edge of the map (shadow and spotlight beam from helicopter in first mission in High Treason; if it's on screen, then everything is smooth). Since I played this game a lot of time ago, I can't say whether the latter was feature or bug, I just don't remember much.

IronArcturus: So it works fine on Win7 64-bit as well?
We would have a disclaimer on the game card if it didn't :)
