Attempts to install will only restart Steam. With this thread, I aim to create a more uniform list of what is and isn't working on XP in 2021 and beyond. Some games even used to be XP-compatible, but have somehow lost this after newer updates that, due to the nature of Steam, are entirely unavoidable. Some games on XP claim to be compatible (or at least logically should be compatible) but aren't for a variety of reasons. Another method from December 2020 in the comments of this post claimed to do the same, but it didn't work for me, though this may have been because of an error I made midway.Īnyways, this isn't for discussing Steam compatibility as much as it is for Steam game compatibility. After trying 2 other avenues, I used the method described in this video to install Steam on XP because, while it's uncomfortably unfamiliar (they say this Steam rebuild has multiple patches, but only name one of them), it's the only way I got games to download in-client. Since then, multiple solutions have come up with varying levels of success. I hesitated to make this thread, but ultimately think the issue separate enough from the Latest Version of Software Running on XP thread (and the various Steam threads left hanging from recent history) to warrant a thread of its own since the Latest Version thread is mostly focused on productivity software and because I hate waiting half an hour downloading a game only to find that it doesn't even work.
