A project that aims to restore compatibility of the game BeamNG with older OS like Windows XP and Windows 7
If you use LegacyNG for a YouTube video, please add the link to this repository in both your video and your video description.
For Windows XP, One-Core-API 4.x.x is NEEDED
For Windows 7, VxKex is , at least for now, NEEDED
Content mods are supported, but some like Zeit's and TEON's Graphics mod, may break the game, uninstall them. GFX Suite and CK's Graphics mod are also supported
Compatibility: Windows XP x64: Up to BeamNG 0.34 [0.36 is experimental with a lot of bugs and crashes]. Workarounds are also needed (scroll down to find them)
Windows Vista: Planned to do, WIP
Windows 7 x64: Up to BeamNG 0.38 (latest)
THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY WORK IN PROGRESS, EXPECT MANY CRASHES AND RANDOM BUGS !!!!
How to install (Windows 7)?
- Download the latest release
- Install VxKex. If it asks about updates, install them too
- Enable VxKex for the BeamNG executable (in the Bin64 folder) in the properties. Dont change the version it's reporting
- Launch the game by double clicking on the BeamNG executable (still in the Bin64 folder, the launcher might not work).
How to install and play the game on Windows XP 64 Bit or Windows Server 2003?
- Make sure you have OpenGL 4.5 support (THE GAME WILL NOT WORK ON VIRTUAL MACHINES)
- Install the latest One-Core-API version
- Download the latest release
- Extract the ZIP file, copy everything in it
- Paste all files into your BeamNG Bin64 folder
- Set the compatibility mode to Windows Vista SP1 or SP2, both work (wct.exe)
- If you try an alpha version of this patch, launch this executable with -nocefsandbox and -disable-sandbox
- When you are on the main menu, re-open the compatibility tool and set it back to Windows Server 2003 SP2
- The game crashes when you load a map? Retry but this time in another spawn point (still in the same map as you choosed before)
