breakpoint Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 just spend 100$ and get XP or some other OS since 98 is out of DATE I dont think they will fix the 98 stuff Link to comment
geeb Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 In my opinion 98 is still one of the most stable os'es unless you consider linux. It wouldnt be right for them to change a few lines of code in order to gain so many more people. Many people still use 98 and all the programs that are released are supported by it. Its definitly worth it. Link to comment
geeb Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 i meant to say it would only be right for them to change a few lines of code.... etc Link to comment
Mercenary Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Windows 98 stable? Are you on crack? I know of like 10 ways easy to crash it in under 2 seconds. Surely, you are thinking of 2000, or some other operating system.. On a side note, I think I've only crashed my XP box maybe 3-4 times tops. And thats because I was trying to. Normally it has an uptime of weeks between reboots. Seriously, buy a new harddrive or something and get XP Pro OEM (or at least Win2000) for like 150 insead of that ludicrous retail price.

Guest Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 dude... if you say WIN98 is out of date YOU are on crack. Not only is it more stable than XP, it runs more programs, too. Link to comment
Cheez Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Sorry but I'm not going to spend a crap load of money to upgrade my OS when these guys only have to change a little bit of their code to fix it. Thats just silly, and I personally still like windows 98, and by how many people have responded to this we are obviously a good percentage of the community, they'd be losing a fair amount of player support by NOT fixing the windows 98 bug.

Mark Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Yeah, I have Windows XP, but it's not compatible with my computer / video card combination, so I'm not going to pony up the price for a new PC just to play one mod. That's ridiculous, breakpoint. I just hope they hurry up with this fix. Link to comment
Guest Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Oh xp thats when the shit hits the fan.Xp is real unstable for some people.they cant even play some games they crash. Win98 can run anything.when the other os's have problems.windwos 98 was completed.the other os's are being updated Link to comment
Guest Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Xp may be unstable for some, but XP is perfectly stable for me, i would never go back, same games do crash in xp, some in 98, but when something crashes in 98 it takes your WHOLE system down 70% of the time freezing the comp and you haver to reboot, in XP, crash, no big deal, click on the end prog/dont send error, reload the prog and your fine.. i dont see how people can say 98 is more stable than xp Link to comment
Guest Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 omfg Windows 98 more stable then XP, thats really funny indeed I've used XP since it came out, it hasn't crashed ONCE. True games designed before XP was thought of tend to crash, but then again so does DOS games in windows9x .. U can't keep backwardcompability forever Link to comment
-=WeSsW@Re=- Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 XP is 900% more stable as win98. All new games work perfectly. Only games that are compatible with win95 or older don't always work. When I had 98 my computer crashed a lot, and now I have XP it almost never crashes. Upgrading to XP is worth the money, really btw. Sweed u are totally right. And not to forget, when games crash and ur system doesn't that means that XP is stable but ur game is not, Link to comment
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted May 30, 2003 MTA Team Share Posted May 30, 2003 i just had a weird experience : I have an old computer (166MMX) and i copied mta on it, i double clicked it, it didn't work. Why not, a problem with winsock (run time error 372) so i install everything and i launch mta again. Guess what MTA started on a Win98SE machine Link to comment
Guest Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Weird, but could you just update your code instead so it will work anyway. The solution is already given in another topic. Link to comment
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted May 30, 2003 MTA Team Share Posted May 30, 2003 hmm, i spoke to early it seems, now i got the error as well, but since i run it from inside vb, i now know where the problem starts Link to comment
