...it doesn't work on Windows XP SP3?!!

[secret]

I've tried with NET framework 4, 3.5 for SP1, 1.0 compact for SP3, and yet it doesn't work. Any tips?

[raminator]

do you have framework 2.o, etc installed?
there´s somewhere a topic where i had similar problem and they told me, that i need to install the older frameworks too

[Sleipnir]

Please post your exception.log so we can see what the actual problem here is. Are you running the packaged build? That should set up all the dependencies you need.

I have WinXP SP3 on one of my PCs. The newest playtest works pretty well on it.

I am running XP SP3 on my laptop. Newest build will not run. Included logs. Any other information requested I'll happily provide.

Edit: Wow I feel dumb. Unsupported GPU would explain a lot. Any workarounds or is this hardware just not compatible?

Oddly enough, couldn't find the topic, also...it seems I don't get any exception.log at all. I've used the search function, so I can't see how I am wrong.

What GPU do you use? Did you install the latest drivers for that? You may also try to execute a game with alternative randerer in a console:
1. Change directory to your openra root directory.
2. Execute it with the following:
mono OpenRA.Game.exe "SupportDir=~/.openra" UtilityPath=OpenRA.Utility.sh Game.Mods=ra Graphics.Renderer=Cg
If you use Windows, just execute:
OpenRA.Game.exe Game.Mods=ra Graphics.Renderer=Cg

What OS do you use?
In *nix it's usually in ~/.openra/Logs directory
In Windows it's in my documents directory. If you use WinXP take a look in the Documents and Settings directory. If you use Win7 take a look in the Users direcory.

I am running XP SP3. Tried executing that, still did not run.

I have a Sony Vaio pcg-7l1l. Has an Intel integrated processor lol.. Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900. Old thing.

Intel Integrated graphics is a shit. What is in your exception.log after trying to execute a game with alternative Cg renderer?

Yes, I run the packaged one.

The error:

Yea, very thankful I have a good desktop but I would like to be able to play it on the go if possible.

Well it seems like your GPU driver is lying and doesn't properly support the features it says it does. Have you tried using the CG renderer as detailed above?

The Intel graphics drivers that ship with windows doesn't include working OpenGL support. Grab the latest drivers from the Intel website and try again.
