Anachronox is one of the most wondeful 3D worlds and games created yet, unfortunately there is less and less access to information about it, as the Planet Anachornox Site is now morbund and archived...so here is help to keep this classic runing:
Many more recent FX cards and drivers wont run Anachronox without some tweaking. You can get an older driver but there is an easier way:
You can set the OpenGL settings to a custom setting that will work with nHancer. Also it helps to get all the patchers, official, 1.01 and 1.02 and the three unofficial patches, 44, 45, and 46 (45 is hard to find so you can get along without it)
The patches are all here in a special pack i made:
Anachronox Patch Set
http://www.filefront.com/15848305/Anachoronox … atches-2.0.rar/
and you can get nHancer here:
nHancer detects all the games and programs on your system but......
You will have to create (Add Profile) a profile for Anachronox as nHancer wont find it, as it installs directly into C Drive instead of Program Files. Once you direct the profile to the Anachronox Exe you will be able to makes a custom set up file for Anachornox that will run the game on XP.
Highlight the Profile for Anachronox on the list, than to to the right and chose the Compatability tam and then the Opengl tab.
At the bottom of the list, you will see a special section for Driver Extenstion Limit:
Type in 11a8 and close.
Be sure you only change the setting for this one game and not in the Global Tab or all your games will be changed.
Now you can run Anachronox with FX cards on XP just fine. If you want to see discussuoion about this, we had an older thread but it got locked not sure why:
Anachronox will not start any more!
I do reccomend using all of the patches, 1.01, 1.02 from Ion, and then 44, 45, 46 from Chinaman.
