I don't remember having to use a key code but it's been years.

Here's the download

Did you see the notice at the bottom of the download page ?

I didn't see that.

So how is one supposed to reinstall the game if you buy a new computer? I'm pretty sure I don't have a receipt from 2004.

Eh, I have to admit I certainly got my moneys worth so maybe I'll just pickup URU Chronicles.



Thanks for the heads-up, Nanouk.

Beware, I am Vista stupid and do not know if Uru CC will work on Vista64.

Uru is rather an old game and Vista was not even on the drawing board in those days.

Vista is so bad for gamers that they are working on a new OS called Windows 7. (Beta phase)

I'm really looking forward to Windows 7. I built my PC from parts on Newegg and get a great deal on an OEM Vista64 OS.

I just found URU:CC on Amazon used for $7.00. It's worth a try.

Buying "used" is generally not recommended.

Good luck.

Be aware that PotS does work flawlessy with Windows 7, didn't even have to toggle compatibility mode.

I also reinstalled Windows XP over the past week, and moved the whole PoTS game to another hard drive, it didn't complain.

I hope this helps

[chuxter]

It's not out yet though right? I missed the whole BETA thing.

@ chuxter,

When you tested the Windows XP compatiblity mode did you also tried to set your graphic card properties to 32 bits display ?

[chuxter]

I didn't. I'll try that today.

Thanks for all the help.


edit: My display was already set to 32 bit so i tried it in 16 bit but It didn't help.
