Hi there!
I just dug out my "old" copy of Darwinia and installed it on a brand new Windows 7 machine.
* Great looks, speed, everything... but the Alt-tab thingie killed the experience. So...
I downloaded and installed the latest patch.
* The graphics degraded terribly. Even setting the rez to my usual 1280 x something setting, it looked barely 640x480 or less. And the gesture interface just disappeared! So...
I reinstalled the game without the patch.
* And it looks cool again, but the grenades just don't work (only normal shots instead). AND the damn alt-tab thing makes playing impossible
Because, you know, there is no way (that I know) to disable alt-tabbing in Win7. And I kinda wanted the latest graphic jazz up anyway, but it's in the patch only, apparently.
So, what can I do to play my game? I read somewhere they finally got around to exchange the original Alt key with the Ctrl key (duh), so no more window jumping happens. If that's another patch magic... Why can't I enjoy it? Why Introversion do hate me so?
Help me! Please. Pretty please. With sugar on top. A lot of it.
