ohstop Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 Okay I give up trying to continually adapt my new computer or components to run harpoon (classic, ultimate, etc). I am committed to a standalone old computer for just games like this. Can someone tell me the ideal old computer (hardware, software, video, etc to buy on some recycle site. Please be specific and if you know of sites that sell such complete systems, please add CAUSE I GIVE UP Quote
eeustice Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 Good Evening. What issue are you having with the Installation of HCE? The Ultimate version should work with any modern PC including Win 10 64 bit. The Beta updates available on this forum even have an update so the the Scenario Editor will work with Win 10 64 bit. Below is the link to the beta updates. Please let us know if you need additional help. Have a great day, Eric Quote
ohstop Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Posted January 20, 2021 I had not tried ultimate edition - works on Win 10? How big is the download Quote
eeustice Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 The full download is 665,600 KB One thing I wanted to ask you in my original message is if you tried to do the installation using "Run as an Administrator. " You will get a Serial Number not valid message if you need to install or run HCE. Quote
ohstop Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Posted January 20, 2021 I didnt have ultimate edition - i am on line now trying to buy it error says cannot complete sale for this shopper - contact blue snap support or something to that effect Quote

eeustice Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 That one I can't help you with. We will have to get TonyE involved at this point. I wanted to let you know that tomorrow night form 7:15 to 9:30 there is a Zoom gathering for Harpoon Classic . I have included the link below. Quote
ohstop Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Posted January 20, 2021 tonyE - is that his harpgamer ID? Quote
eeustice Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 I have sent TonyE an email. Hopefully he will have the time to help you this evening. Quote
ohstop Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Posted January 20, 2021 thanks so much - i cant believe there is a new version; I have been playing this since floppy disks era Quote
eeustice Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 Yes. TonyE is the remaining programmer for Harpoon. He is still updating HCE when we find bugs in the software. He is trying to make some enhancements to the HCE interface. There are a group of dedicated long time players that help out when necessary. This is all voluntary as is TonyE's bug fixes and enhancements. We do it for the love of the game. I have been playing Harpoon since the days of the 5 1/4 floppy disk. I am usually in the Harpgamer Chat room if you have a Irc client. I tried to get the link to the free iRC chat room that TonyE had on the Harpgamer web site but the link doesn't work. Let us know if you need help with setting that up. Quote

Please be specific and if you know of sites that sell such complete systems, please add CAUSE I GIVE UP Hi ohstop, what is the most recent version of Harpoon Classic that you own? Harpoon Ultimate Commander's Edition Harpoon Commander's Edition Harpoon Classic Gold Harpoon Classic 2002 aka HC2002 Harpoon (Classic) 97 Harpoon for Windows aka Winharp The ideal computer to run Harpoon Classic is a brand new Windows 10 x64 computer with the fastest single core performance you can get. You don't need fancy video or any more than 8GB of RAM. Quote
ohstop Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Posted January 20, 2021 I have the old classic but am trying to buy the ultimate ed off the website ( tried 2 different browsers and 2 different credit cards)but it keeks saying this The request cannot be fulfilled for the current shopper. Please contact BlueSnap support for further details.. Quote
TonyE Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 My first suggestion will be to stop trying to get that purchase to work. I'll be e-mailing you a link to an installer with a temporary license for you to validate you want to buy a copy. Quote
