Just bought this game. I want to know if this game works on XP. The minimum reqs don't mention xp but i heard that a lot of people have actually played this game on xp and it worked fine. Is it true?

Yes, it runs on my Win XP SP3 box just fine.

Do you know if the video card requirements are correct, (NVIDIA® 9600GT or ATI Radeon™ HD 5000+ or better)? Currently mine is not better.

So i finally installed it on my XP SP3 and it is working fine...almost. The gameplay and all is perfect although there is a slight lag that i may call, during character dialogue when the dialogue switches to the other character. The movie cutscenes, i think, don't look like they should. Like say, in one of the intro videos where instead of the usual movie, i get the game's logo for almost 2 minutes before reverting back to the video.

The only requirements which i don't meet according to gog are the GFX card model and the OS. Minimum supported OS is vista. I have an ati hd 4850 but its just as fine as an hd 5xxx series model. Directx 10 is minimum but then why does it work on XP under directx 9.0c?

Well I have a Radeon HD 3650 and the game runs alright. The game clearly supports DX9, 99% games still do. Spec sheets are becoming completely unreliable these days, it's like half the time they just put down what they think the average user has, or what it was developed on, it's complete laziness.

Great, thanks. I checked and my card does support the later shader models if that part is correct. Looks like this goes on my list.

Why not join in my giveaway? It ends today.
