I have fond memories of playing Arx when it first came out, but never finished it. When I saw it on GOG I snatched it up, but found there's a bug that causes the game to stall on loading, forcing the user to open Task Manager, locate ARX.EXE in the processes, then end it. It seems to be unfixable. I contacted GOG tech support, but so far received no answer. I searched the web and found several others encountered the same problem. There were several suggestions/solutions, all of which I tried, to solve the problem but none worked for me. But you know, given the number of others with the same problem and the age of the game I'm surprised the problem hasn't or can't be fixed. So now I'm stuck with a game I can't play unless I can get a hold of a system it will actually play on.
