I need tech help on Windows XP

#1 » Post by **Stavromoon** » 13 Sep 2017 16:01

The torrent program (BitLord) is not working, gives me a "not a valid Win32 program" error.

I thought of trying the Mega desktop app but things I read about it seem very scary.

Can someone give me a step by step process to download the game and install it on my XP computer?

Also, please, any suggestions to upgrade to a later version of Windows will be politely ignored. Thanks in advance.

Use this: http://www.oldapps.com/utorrent.php?old_utorrent=38 or your preferred torrent program, use the magnet link below.

Code: Select all

Thank you! Downloading but slowly - 3.4% after 5 minutes

I tried downloading on Mega, there's a cap on how much you can DL per day if you don't have a premium account.
I went for uTorrent just to get the game client after that (win10).

So even if your torrent is really slow it's probably still faster than Mega.

Got the program to download, tried to log in and it is trying to download an update? It's stuck at 0%. I hope it's not trying to download from Blizzard ...

Don't use launcher.exe and be sure to Not login with email. Also, remember that forum accounts is Not identical to game accounts unless made so!

PS. You tried a version of bitlord that didn't support XP. Probably you had win64 too

I'm slow but I eventually figured that out

I am on the PvE server now as Stavromoon - Human Pally. Thank you to all for your help!

It's great to see the old content! The park is back! It's like coming home ...
