-Suedes Attack!.

Edit: That's what came up when I goggled "suede attack". Suede being a common missname for Swedes. That was awesome. I want that jacket now. :)

I actually run my games in a chroot. Essentially, I can run a Debian system even when the host is running Gentoo. (The other way around, running Gentoo under Debian, is actually a good way to try out Gentoo and a first step toward actually installing Gentool; just extract (as root) a stage 3 tarball into a new directory.)

You may need to bind mount certain directories in order to get X11, audio and input working, but that setup actually works quite well. It's not as secure as running it in a container or virtual machine. (The problem with running it in a VM is 3D acceleration, which modern games (even those in retro styles) tend to require these days for decent performance.)

I remember having security questions along those lines a while back, then i came across a nice little filesystem that was being developed back in 2002 which is known as SquashFS. The kernel module is literally read-only and you create filesystems by using an archiving utility. Using this you can create a mini or full OS to mount with, then mount on top of it the different features you need. Only a few select folders would need to actually have write access (/home, /etc).

Yeah i was more based on space concerns at the time, but knowing a virus/malware can't infect your OS gives you a little more peace of mind :)

I get this error: 'Could not load the Animation File'
win 7x64

Yeah, that would help. The forums are rather hidden away, at least to new users not familiar with how things work here.
Hah hah... Good one.

That was a joke, right? Since you were talking about moderation... on a GOG forum. :P

GOGs general forum is actually very moderated. It's done by us.

Also moderating a forum is a lot more than you see as a user or visitor. Moderators spend most of their time not poking their fingers in our user soup but instead watching for stuff they don't want here. They find something that's not for here they do mod things.

I'd say GOGs forums is very moderated. They work and aren't clogged by the filth of the internet.

Edit: Spelling and stuff.

True enough, but it's certainly not "over-moderated" like so many other sites, and that's a good thing.

You'd think they want users to post to the sub-forums, though, otherwise what's their point?

This is a site for a rather big company. The question isn't about over-moderation. It's about rules. GOG simply have sensible rules for their forum. Much like CD Project Red and GOG have sensible rules for DRM.

On that sub forum thing. As I said before the only reason I can think of is that if they get more popular it'll get harder for moderators to watch. That's something to think about with the number of GOG employees and number of game forums...

Lol
i think thats the most ironic crash solution we ever had.

Because by default gog installer has path
c:\program files\gog games\game name

Thank you for solution though.

Odd... I'm getting c:\gog games\game name consistently.

Making this type of thing a news article, eh? I mean, offering solutions to problems is very nice, but this is just strange. :P

"GOG Webteam is Drunk Again" :P

I still remember (that was not so long ago) when you *had* to do this to run 32-bit games on a 64-bit OS. I think I spent more time getting NWN to run that actually playing it ;)

Nope, filenames in DOS were 8.3 chars long.

>>"Crash to Desktop - Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate"
I found solution for my situation with "Could not load the Animation File" error and crash on the load first mission
I changed resolution of my Desktop on 1280x768 (like in game settings) and it help.
