Well Sim War 5 Doesn’t Work For Me. At All. Im Running Vista And Does Anyone Have A Release Date For This?
there are known issues with vista and game maker games.
(games made with game maker version prior than 7 are incompatible)
http://wiki.yoyogames.com/index.php/Game_Maker_Windows_Vista_compatibility
however there is a program which makes these games vista compatible

i have checked the program and wanted to see what happens when i patch the game, but it says that sim war v is already vista compatible…
looks promising, love your art!
Wow this is great! I just played the most recent update and its AMAZING and its a GM game. Brilliant!
