Any further detail than just "it doesn't work"?

Does it crash? If so, have a look in My Documents/OpenRA/Logs/exception.log, post the contents to www.pastebin.com and paste the ensuing link here.

Are these copies both running on the same machine? That error leads me to believe they aren't.

The second PC appears not to have a graphics card capable of running OpenRA.

not capable? weird cuz these computers can run halo 1 and other games like that....

The original Halo does not require shader model 2 support like we do. Fixing this dependence is not a priority for us at the moment.

We use hardware acceleration to get a much higher resolution and graphical effects that the original never had. It also makes our lives a hell of a lot easier. In case you hadn't noticed, we're kind of spread a bit thin.

Sure there is some room for optimisation and once someone gets round to it, there will be simpler shaders written that will allow older cards to run it, but don't expect OpenRA to run on your 486 anytime soon.
