Tried to load up Cossacks: European Wars: Back to War due to a previously posted meme that made me want to play it again, but it has some compatibility issues with Windows 7(that only get worse the higher the version you go).


And Cossacks 3 launches in nearly another 2 weeks. :'(

The Steam version of Back to War works perfectly without any of the obnoxious compatibility problems my disk version had.

Being an agnost, and moreso, trying to explain to others what it is, is so tiresome that I just decided to quit being an agnost, and became a deity instead. So much easier.

I looked up "papyrus spaghetti", hoping to find some dank Undertale memes.

One of the autocomplete results was "papyrus spaghetti vore".

Well then

What kind of compatibility issues we're talking? Because when I tried to play Cossacks, it ran alright, but it ran at sanic speeds even at the lowest speed settings.

I've heard of problems with screen resolutions on Win8. My particular problem(Win7) is that the game freezes the moment battle starts. It's a known problem apparently, but the few fixes I've heard about - I've tried two separate ddraw.dll hacks, one of them supplied by the game's publisher - do not work, nor does trying compatibility mode.

Games that use ddraw.dll can be fixed using Application Compatibility Toolkit. It's been years since I used it to fix Planescape: Torment so I can't give you any more specific help, but it shouldn't be any harder than creating a fix with "Enable DirectDraw Emulation" selected.

I don't have the option for that. There was "Layer_ForceDDrawEmulation", but that crashed the game on startup.

...Probably shouldn't be trying to use ACT blind, though.


EDIT: Turns out there was a preset for Cossacks on it already. Didn't work though.

I tried some ground cinnamon. It was like spicy sawdust. Why does it make things taste good, yet not taste good on its own?

Most spices are like that. You get too much of the flavour if you just just nom on them, or they need to be cooked, or similar.

Have you tried eating pure pepper? It's not a pleasant experience.

Isn't cinnamon essentialy sawdust (ground tree bark) anyway? But ye, many spices by themselves are things you'd very much not eat, and only serve to make things more delishus.

Also what the hell you're talking about? I eat peppers all the time and they're delishus :U

Not pure peppercorns, though.  Especially without grinding first.

Okay pepper is probably a bad example. What about chugging sriracha?
