![]() I've checked our press releases, our initial placeholder minimum specs, our FAQ and even gone through all of our emails and at no point have we communicated that Windows 7 is able to run the game. We did not at any point have Windows 7 as the minimum requirement for the game. Hi all, I've seen this going around quite a lot and I want to address it. We did not change the requirements from Windows 7 This will break the Windows Games Explorer service for all 32-bit games and should allow you to bypass it permanently. * For a more permanent solution you can try to rename gameux.dll in C:// Windows / SysWOW64 (after taking ownership and adjusting permissions). If Steam doesn't allow you to open it again whilst it's already running, open task manager and close the first instance of the game, then start it again and it should start the 2nd time (the first time it tries to invoke rundll32.exe and as long as you leave that process alone it should bypass it the 2nd time). Since older singleplayer games like this are unlikely to get updated, here are the workarounds we've been using to bypass the Windows Games Explorer service and force the game to launch: I only know this because one of the older games I play, Guild Wars, is also affected by this issue and we've figured out some workarounds while we wait for the developers to patch out the Windows Games Explorer dependency. Many older games suddenly refuse to start on Windows 7 because they're integrated into the Games Explorer service and waiting for a response from a Microsoft server that appears to have gone down some time around the 8th of June. If so, your problem might be related to the Windows Games Explorer service having become dysfunctional in the past week.
