So probably this function fails: std::wstring GetProcessPathByPIDWs(DWORD PID) { ErrorCode14J_FailureStep = 5; wstring ProcessPathToReturn = L""; HANDLE Handle = OpenProcess( PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_READ, FALSE, PID /* This is the PID, you can find one from windows task mana...

I don't think it makes any difference which version it is though... WinXP has always acted weirdly, but if you made a test on a clean windows xp installation in the virtual machine - it would probably work.

On Windows XP you're supposed to start the launcher with administrative permissions the first time after installation. So if you haven't done that, it's required to do.

Have you tried with moving out DLL or disabling Directx 9 in Up1.5 Settings?

It looks like the Launcher is trying to generate some files, and it asks for the administration permissions to be able to write in the game folder. Do you actually type the admin password there, or refuse it?

Since it's a very old version I won't really focus on it, but I remember it was working fine, even in tests that I made at the end of the last year. Gog released some "updated" or rather "broken" version with their own DirectX 8 to 9 wrapper. Maybe the old Launcher version was no...

What password? Can you show a screenshot / photo of what it's showing?

What error is displayed on Windows XP? Maybe make a copy of the game folder and try on it, instead of the main installation? That last version for XP should work fine on Windows XP SP2. Maybe you don't have the latest service pack installed. CSV editor is not needed, because you can edit .csv files ...

Maybe you could just run EE2 with Unofficial Patch on your Linux machine? https://ee2.eu/linux/#lutris I don't think you would be able to add more ceasefire options by yourself, as even I needed some years to learn the assembly in EE2. Besides that there are many other extra options, such as removed...

No, the ceasefires in EE2 are hardocded and were hacked by me years later. So you need the Normal or Developers version of UP1.6 for more ceasefire and resources options to be available in game. It's also better to play EE2 with the Unofficial Patch on the modern Windows 11 / 10 PC rather than retro...

Happy Good Friday 2024 =)
