D2x-XL Descent 2 Vertico "Can't Read Descent2.HAM"

Post by hoover1979 »

I tried running Descent 2 Vertigo on my dads windows 10 Machine and after the briefing I got:

Error: Can't read Descent2.HAM

I don't know if this is a windows 10 thing and can't find out for sure atm as I am spending Easter with my folks.

I will update this on Monday (In Australian Central Time) if this happens on my Windows 7 PC.

If descent 2 runs, why can't it read the .HAM file for Vertigo.

If more info is needed please ask me to elaborate and I will do my best.

My Dad's specs: (This is where I am having trouble now)

windows 10 (x64)
Unknown PSU
2nd Gen i5-2500K 3.2Ghz
Ordinary fan for CPU
16Gb 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM
1Gb GTX550Ti
Realtek integrated Sound

My PC Specs: (Cant test here, until I return home on Monday)

Antec 60w PSU
ASUS Z79K Motherboard
4th Gen i7-4790k 4.0Ghz
Noctua NH-L12 CPU Cooler
32Gb Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400mhz DDR3 RAM
4Gb Gigabyte GTX970 G1 Gaming

Needles to say my Home PC is more suited for Gaming, but was waaaay too heavy to move with a bad back.
