Trying to Come Back to Falcon after 15 Years But Falcon will Not Install.
-
I am trying to come back to falcon after being away for a very long time (at least 15 years) but I cant get the game to install on my new system (12 Gen i7-700K - RTX 3070Ti). The setup just dies after it starts to install. No error messages.I have 2 original DVDs and it does it on both. Is the original CD install incompatible with Win 10/64 bit? Do I have to run it in compatibility mode or some such? Anyone have a solution for this or a heads up about what I am doing wrong? Thanks…

@CAG0001 the old 1990s cdrom setup tries to query graphics card capabilities … it is very confused by your futuristic Nvidia card… lol
My primary recommendation is to pay $5-10 to GoG.com to get a rebuilt, maintained setup.exe that works on modern OS and PC hardware.

Agree 100%, that or on Steam if you have it. I bet you have spent more time getting aggravated/frustrated than the $6.99 is worth already!!
