The only times it has failed on me was because either the storage device or RAM were faulty. It’s definitely worth it to check both for errors every once in a while, as financially devastating as it is to replace either.

The old version. It’s an experience closer to release, but safer.

Not too likely at this point. The game is relatively old and few people still care about it. Not enough clout for someone to take another shot at it.

It’s also been heavily discounted already, which means there’s even less of an incentive.

Eh, it’s really not a bad game. The villain is highly charismatic, visuals are very good, gunplay is as fun as in FC3 and 4 again and the world is large and detailed. It’s a solid power fantasy, far better than FC5 in my eyes.

Hypervisor is much riskier on Windows and more complex to use. Empress is a conventional crack.

However, Empress’ crack is based on an old build of the game, with much less content and fewer bugfixes.
