If you are one of those people who bought Canabalt on Steam back in the times before Windows 11, you might be disappointed to experience, that the game no longer works in Windows 11 24H2, it simply doesn’t run, and the process is stuck forever without any error messages, whatsoever.
However, when emailing and trying it out, the developer actually made the same game based on a different code branch which does work in Windows 11 24H2 and can be downloaded for free from his website, as well as running a web version from canabalt.com, as well.
When asking why he doesn’t update the Steam release with the version that does work in Windows 11 24H2, I was told he might consider it, but it is a lot of work doing so as the code base is so much different from the version released on Steam.

Running Alpha Polaris on Windows 11 24H2
What do you do when you above’s error message appears if you try to run the Alpha Polari’s setup program?
Answer: As right click “Run as Administrator” does not work, run CMD as Administrator instead and run the setup.exe from the command line instead! 🙂
