Hiho,
as the topic title says, NS2 won't run on my 64 bit XP machine. The beta builds worked fine for me in the past (although I did run it on XP 32 bit to be frank).
There's no log file and no error message when run from Steam, though when I try to run it from the steam folder directly, I get a "Failed to initialize properly" error. I also tried reinstalling DirectX, updating my driver, updating the PhysX component separately and reinstalling the MSVC redistributable package.
Here's my dxdiag: <a href="http://pastebin.com/H5kF67VM" target="_blank">http://pastebin.com/H5kF67VM</a>

Since Steam is also on Linux now.
Well, their low-level stuff is written for Windows with DirectX, which means that there's a sizeable amount of code that would have to be ported. Apart from that Spark seems to use Fmod, which does have both a OSX and Linux port, so less messy trouble there, and LUA. I'm not quite sure about the PhysX/CUDA stuff, though (by looking at the dll's).
Right, on-topic again: Does anybody <i>know</i> why it might not run or does anybody even <b>have it running</b> on XP 64 bit?
