Greetings All, Former EAW player, flew EAW 1.2 at the MS Zone starting around '99. I was a member of the 78th VFG. Axe_78th was my callsign. Some of my old friends are planning to get together for some EAW fun possibly. Most of our rigs are Nvidia, Windows 11 systems. There is one of us using an older system. Not sure what windows version he has. Seems a few years back I tried to install EAW 1.2 on my W10 machine and had issues. I see there are several versions of EAW out there now. Like EAWPro. What exactly is that? :) At any rate what we are looking for is the modern take on 1.2. original setup. What is the most simple way to go? Thanks in advance!

W11 unless I decide to use one of my "retired" rigs. :) The others however may not have another option other the W10 or W11.

Thanks again. I have your site saved MarkEAW. I still have my EAW CD and manual and alot of my old EAW files saved. The 1.2 patch and some NoCD .exe's. gunsights and gauges mods. Various stuff from my 78th VFG days. My rig was a slot one PIII on a BE-6 Abit board with a Voodoo 5 GPU. It was the first one I built. It ran EAW like a champ! The very first rig however was a Celeron CPU and a pair of SLI Voodoo 2 cards. An IT guy I worked with put it together for me. BTW, MarkEAW, Are you MarkShot? If so I remember reading your tactics guide. "Shoot To Kill" was it? It was required reading in our squad! :)

Thanks for the replies and Happy New Year! I have been doing some research, forum posts etc. There seemed to be several options and OS/GPU issues to deal with. It was a bit confusing. I'll check into everything suggested here. Just want the old EAW we remembered able to run on our rigs and online. Not looking for the extra features, new aircraft and maps at present.
