please any tried resident evil?? devil may cry?? or others like .exe game?
I dont have those games, but I have had issues playing some old games not due to the Surface Pro 2, but due to Windows 8.1.
Gorky17 runs on but with a few bugs (you need to use version 2 of the exe file though), and I needed a 0.5GB patch to get Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines to work.
If its old, chances are it will work just so long as there is still a strong user community supporting it for windows 8.
I did some searches for the best games of the 90s and 00s to run on my Surface Pro and come up with the folowing list of steam games (in order of year of release).
XCOM (the original)
Half-life (all though Im playing the source remake)
Gorky 17
System Shock 2
GTA 3
Star Wars KotOR
Far Cry
Rome Total War
Thief
Vampire
Star Wars Battlefront II
Company of Heroes
Warhammer 40k
Elder Scrolls IV
The Witcher
Torchlight
2010 onwards
Bastion
Faster than Light
Final Fantasy VII
I'd recomend all of those games, none should stretch the Surface hardwear and other than the graphics, all stand the test of time for the gameplay. So pick them up cheap if you see them in a steam sale!
I also want
Black and white,
C&C red alert
Deus Ex
FEAR
Jedi Knight II
Settlers iV
Warcraft III
but either havent purchased them on steam or not found digital download for them.
As a rule I tend to set the settings at max quality at 1280 x 768 [edit: I mean 1366 x 768] and work back from there if needed. I prefer better textures etc. to higher resolution as, at 10.6 inches, the DPI is still fine despite not running at the Surface's native resoltion (148 vs 208 ppi). The jump to 1080 though results in double the amount of pixels needing to be processed (1049088 vs 2073600).
