For awhile everything I read abour PoE said it will run on XP. It will run on XP. It will run on XP. Quite naturally, I'm happy because I have an old computer that uses XP and I would have to do a major overhaul to get a newer operating system running. Namely, I'd have to get a new cpu which means getting a new motherboard (they don't make the old stuff anymore!). Now today I'm browsing PoE on GoG reading a little about it again in anticipation of playing it in the near future -- but what should be looming there except the system requirements: Windows Vista, 7, or 8. What happened to XP?
Does anyone have experience running games meant for newer operating systems on older ones? Is it possible? I'm a little miffed and if I can't run it I'd probably be wanting my money back because I'm not really in a position to purchase a new computer right now or in the near future.
