365766 2005-06-21 07:10:00 :badpc: Hi, I am hoping to upgrade my PC and would like to know if my older games such as Medal of Honour,Freelancer and Call of Duty etc will run on an AMD 64 bit processor with Windows xp64. Thanks. :thumbs: diver (8396)
365767 2005-06-21 07:18:00 most likely, providing they don't use 16 bit installers etc Edward (31)
365768 2005-06-21 08:39:00 They should, But there are no garentees, Your requiring the game itself, all installed drivers and hardware to be compatible on a platform that is barely out of the gate,

One of the big issues is the copy protection built into games, with staforce infected games refusing to run (Starforce have released new code to the game dev's,but said its up to them to make a patch for their own games) As you can imagine companies who have already made their money won't be releasing patches so you can run the game on a platform it was never designed for.


So, your best bet is to check the games official site/forum/fan sites to see if people are having compatability issues. I know the likes of Racesimcentral are making a list of games that don't run....I would presume their focus isn't very broad though.

365769 2005-06-21 12:17:00 Ive noticed that Canon (I think its them) have recently stated they wont support 64-bit drivers for all their hardware, only the high-end printers because apparently its "non-standard".

I reakon 64-bit amd's is the way of the future and plan on getting one myself sometime soon :)
