Windows 10 stock A2

[Crunk]

Has there been a way to get stock A2 working on windows 10?
I have had a look at other threads, unless I’ve missed it is there a fix?
Any help will be grateful

Lets bump this one up.
I don't know about stock but I'm fairly sure many people use Fleet Ops and use an A2 Classic mod which essentially overwrites Fleet Ops with the original game.
Perhaps someone who has done this can elaborate?

Oh yeah I saw the classic mod for fleet ops, does it allow campaigns?

You can play the campaign via FleetOps, but it doesn't work 100%. At least one mission I ran into didn't work properly anymore (the 1st Borg campaign mission has issues since the stock coding for recycling/decommissioning ships doesn't work anymore under FleetOps). And, as is sadly not uncommon for older games, the little .bik movies that used to play throughout the campaign are no longer playing - at least on my system.

Thanks for the info, yeah it’s a sad day when great old games just stop working or have issues working. To bad that they won’t do a remaster or the next generation of armada games

Yeah, it's sad to see. There is still the GOG release of A2, which may or may not work better than our old disk copies. I can't say much about that one, as I don't own it. Maybe someone here does and can tell you more.

The GOG release of A2 worked for me. I wasn't able to play for years up until now. May be worth a shot.
