Issues fixed
Game refuses to boot up on modern hardware[1]
- The game will refuse to open when executed on modern Windows OSes, mainly 8, 8.1, and 10.
Enable the following compatibility settings for the Astrobatics.exe file: Compatibility mode (98/Me) .[2]
|
---|
- To resolve this, while the game is open press Alt+Tab then go back, the game should run on its normal speed after.
