SSE Required?
Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2025 11:58 am
Hello! My first post here, apologies for a very n00b type question, I did a search already, couldn't see this asked already.
I play the regular C&C and RA on my Pentium II (twin 450mhz chips, 1gb ram, GT610 graphics) running on XP. I also play OpenRA on my modern Core I7. I wondered if openRA would run on the Pentium II, as there is a 32 bit package available. It downloads fine but throws an error "This is not a valid Win32 application" and I wondered maybe if it had been compiled to use SSE extensions, which the Pentium II does not have.
I appreciate I'm most likely out of luck here but I'm curious as to where the issue lies and whether anyone with knowledge on this would know?
Thanks so much everyone
