Hi,

Does Pharaoh work on windows 10 (RAM 8GB, i5 x64) ?

Some posts in the forum and review section suggests otherwise. Also some have been facing a lot of issues on win10.

Thinking of buying soon so please advice.

Thanks.
Gonna try it on my laptop tomorrow. But on my gaming computer it worked, but with 1 adjustment. A soon as you get to the game, you most likely have to instant go and shut of the music, you can keep the city sounds on, just the music. Don't turn it down to zero, turn i off. If you don't you will most likely crash every 5-15 min. a work around around this is to find the youtube with all the tracks from Pharao. You won't notice much difference exept from the combat music coming at the wrong time. For some reason, music on the game can make it crash, but playing the same music over youtube with the game running works fine.

Regular freezes/crashes of the game are associated with a bug in the playback of sounds.

Especially strong when "Compatibility WindowsXP(sp2/sp3)"
Use "Compatibility Windows95/98"
