Precompiled Windows binaries

[NightFright2k19]

Looking for latest compiled Windows (x86 or x64) builds without GOG or Steam dependencies, if possible.

You realize this is a 30 year old DOS game, right?

Same can be said about Doom, ROTT, Duke3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior... And they are all still quite alive. Thanks to ports.

Admittedly, Strife is probably the least known/popular of the Doom family, but it doesn't mean it's dead.

But you’re not likely to get a “windows” port of a dos game that came out in the 90’s let alone 64 bit version.

Interesting. What is this, then? Maybe it's not 64-bit, but it works. And there's Chocolate/Crispy Strife, GZDoom... We have already quite a few options. ;)

But this doesn't get us anywhere, so from my side that's it.

Reverse engineering code from a 30 year old game doesn’t magically make it a modern title. Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 10, 2024, at 6:23 PM, NightFright2k19 @.***> wrote: Interesting.

This is in fact a modern cross platform 64-bit application - it literally has x86_64 support (at least on Linux) mentioned in a Readme file. No DOS emulation required.

Many old games based on id software engines have "source ports" available - reimplementations for current operating systems based on id's officially published source code - no complex reverse engineering needed here.

Sadly I don't know where one can find the builds OP originally asked for, but when strive-ve originally came out I did help someone compile it in visual studio and I don't remember it being too complicated, so you can probably do it yourself.

Well, you already have your answer then. Good luck.
