Why don't you just upgrade to 7, 8, or 10? XP is a 14 year old OS.

I have a hard time grasping the notion of a computer that's both old enough to have windows XP and new enough to have the hardware capable of running Space Engine.
Though given that some folks are still using Windows 3.1 for actual things, who knows what strange monstrosities lurk out there in the corners of the computer wilds...

It's supposed to work on XP. Anyway, XP is not supported by Microsoft anymore, this makes it an undesirable operating system since security flaws won't be patched anymore, so your system is very vulnerable. You really should switch to a newer OS.

They exist, I've used one. It's not about old, it's about RAM in many cases. There are many people who have computers that are newer than Vista and 7 yet run XP because they only have 1 GB or memory or something. I've actually used SE on a computer like this, as long as it has a decent CPU and GPU it will work. Not very well, but it will work.

It works fine for me on XP machine. It's something on your side. Which version do you use?

This is not about me, because I must keep in mind what 90% computers in China still running XP

| Hello All,
I've noticed that in 0.9.7.4 patch 7, I cannot get my ships to go faster than light. I even tried the "cheat code" UFO, and while that allows me to Accelerate like crazy, I still hit the c speed limit. How do I pass this, so my ship can fly as fast as I choose?
Al

UFO just enables unlimited thruster acceleration. Ships are limited to a max of 1c to be more realistic. You can still go faster than light you just need to use the hyperdrive.

| I tried to open it again today, and it crashed before even opening up to the starting page, which kind-of is bad, since I'm using it as reference for a project I'm doing.
Edit I just re-downloaded the patch and it's fixed.

| Doc,
Thanks for the heads up. Older versions allowed me to pilot ships at FTL speeds, so stars would drift past (like in Camera mode). I took some great screenshots/videos of this, and I'm a bit disappointed that this is no longer possible. The hyperdrive, while moving me great distances in short periods of time, cannot be "controlled." There is no max speed setting, there is no setting for hyperdrive distortion effect anymore (0.9.7.2 had this), etc. Is there some setting in main.cfg or equivalent that we can use to bypass this limit?
Thanks.

SE don't have settings to control distortion shader, unless you are using mods.

Increase time speed

Yes, this is true, anyway there is an XP version called "Windows Embedded POSReady 2009" currently supported by Microsoft until spring 2019 ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle?p1=14086 ).
And ... there is a trick for XP reported in May 2014 by ZDNet: http://www.zdnet.com/article....dows-xp ;)
Quote HarbingerDawn ( ) XP ... system is very vulnerable. You really should switch to a newer OS..
Anyway, where possible, it's best to switch to a more modern and secure OS like Win 7/8.x/10, as suggested by HarbingerDawn.
