PC Hackers crack Vista only game for Windows XP

[_Belial]

Just spotted this over at maxconsole

Hackers have cracked Shadowrun, one of the first ever Vista only games on the PC and through their efforts have enabled Windows XP owners to also play the game. Putting two solid middle fingers up at Microsoft's release tactics, the group managed to enable the title to be played on XP and also eliminate the Need for DirectX 10 with a 4MB patch file.

I hate how they are bringing out theese games just for Vista, There is still lots of bugs in it like it dont like nvidia G80graphics and raptor 15k drives. Hopefully soon some one will bring out a directX10 patch for XP

Yip tried it on my PC at 800x600 ran like shite. Though when I ran HL2 using XP it ran roughly at 50fos at 1024x768.

Anyway if you wanna play Halo 2 then pick up an xbox
