**=Any OS is supported but in some cases requires source to be compiled for an up-to-date game copy for their particular OS. Also, while it may be possible that Windows NT could run Scorched 3D, it is not guaranteed. Additionally, Scorched 3D has not been properly tested on Windows Vista and therefore is not officially supported even though it seems to run fine.
Support
If you are using v40 or below then you need at least DirectX 8 to run Scorched 3D if you're running Windows. If you do not have it, you can get it from the following locations, depending on your OS type:
* Win 95 - DirectX 8.0a.
* Win 98/ME/2K/XP - Latest DirectX 9.0c.
Note, that DirectX 5 was the last version released for Windows NT, therefore the game may not run well (or at all) on a computer with Windows NT installed.
If you have an earlier version of windows 95 (non OSR2), you may need the required OpenGL library files in order to play. These can be obtained here.
