This is a pretty big surprise for me, I thought with all the pinball and washed-out adventure games, the GOG well was beginning to run dry.
Anyone know what kind of guarantee GOG gives for whether games work on a given PC or not? I own Beyond Good and Evil already, but I would be willing to shell out a tenner for a version that will actually goddamn run on my PC.

What seems to be the issue with it, anyway? It runs on XP with nary a hitch in most places, except for the hovercraft and water bits.

My impulses got the best of me, and I just bought it with a promo code that was burning a hole in my pocket. I do have the CD version, which would install just fine but never run: it'd appear, then quietly disappear in the task manager.

I wonder if the version on their site is 1.0, the broken patched version, or a newer patch that makes the patched version completable.

funny, any version of bgae ran on my pc without flaws. only back then when it was released the game was too laggy and demanding for my pc. but only a few crashes. even got the steam version during one of their sales and replayed it. well, i got this version now (and POP) only out of the principle of supporting GOG

Happy to say that GOG's version of BGnE works fine on my system now. Not quite as happy to admit that I already had too many games to play to begin with, now having one more :confused:
