Hey guys newbie and lurker here. I recently got a new gaming pc and want to try to give back to the community
I want to know which version of :ffvstr: to get. Do I go with the steam or the gog.
And how hard is it to get the tools and game running on windows 10
Howdy CN, and welcome! I think either Steam or GOG are good bets. I've got Steam, but I think GOG MIGHT be a tad more stable because it lacks the Steam baggage. It's pretty much a toss-up in my mind, though. Perhaps others will have more definitive opinions.
The tools and game generally work pretty well on 10. I run them in compatibility mode for XP SP 2, and that covers most problems.
Additionally, I believe that the Mod Tools have been updated (though I could be wrong) to better accommodate the Steam and GoG versions. Those should be at Alex's Freedom Fortress.
Right, thanks CB. I should have mentioned that!

Definitely use this version of the tools.
Hey, just a heads up. If you want to play the original :ff:, you should definitely get the GOG version, as it fixes various recurring glitches the original version has.
I would also suggest playing through the first game first as (in my opinion) it's campaign is vastly superior to :ffvstr:.
Right on both fronts.
