Hello, I'm having trouble opening Super Tux 0.5.1. When i open it in windows xp, I get an error that says it's not a valid Win32 application, but an older version I had in the past, 0.3.3 worked fine so I'm not sure whats wrong with and I need help opening it, thanks.

We don't support Windows XP anymore, since it's an outdated and ancient operating system. At this point there's nothing you can do other than install a newer OS.

Or use an older version of the game. Sorry.

I'd be very surprised if a Windows XP computer actually had the power to play 0.5.0 or higher anyway...

brmbrmcar: If you want to change something about the performance of the game, go ahead.

EDIT:
Sorry, what I wrote before might have been a bit too harsh, considering your comment was mostly civil...

However, the issue remains:

We're working on the performance if we (or rather I) see fit to do so. Currently, we got a lot of other things on our plate, so we won't be able to work on perf for the time being.

Well if you are just going to delete my comments I won't try to help at all.

Also make sure you use the 32-bit version: https://github.com/SuperTux/supertux/re ... -win32.msi
