Could you elaborate? What doesn't work? Does the game crash? Does it not launch? What steps did you take to install?

The install from the msi went as normally as I could imagine. The game even loads and runs. I create a character, and then once I click 'Begin' and it goes to town, it never gets there. Instead, it stops working, with an immediate popup error of "A&A has stopped working". If I restart, the characters I created are there, but again, they can never actually enter the game.

Im playing on Windows Vista Ultimate, works brilliant :) First, make sure you started the installation with RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR (right click > run as administrator). After the installation , run setup and select proper sound and music drivers (or none :D ). The game should work, if not, try switching to WINDOWS XP in the COMPATIBILITY MOD tab under properties!  -=Good luck!=-

I'm confused, I have no setup option. The windows version MSI only installs an AAMUSIC and MAPDESC folders with a handful of files in them each.

Edit: Ok, I've gotten it to work. BUG! The windows installer will NOT change the directory if you type in a new directory. It will still install to a fully named "Amulets & Armor" folder EXCEPT for AAMUSIC and MAPDESC folders which will go into the directory you chose! I ctrl x -> ctrl v them into the right folder and it worked.

  • Is the potion half full or half empty?

Sorry for the confusion.  Looks like we have a problem with the installer.  It only likes installing to C:\Games\Amulets & Armor.

Got it on the bug list to fix.
