There are certainly some incompatibilities with the 3+ versions of RAGS games, but they tend to be things like coloring of text. So I will see the raw html identifying the color the text should be rather than the text actually changing colors. I've never found a game yet where I couldn't actually progress through the game completely normally using the latest 2.4.x version.
Are you able to view the movie clips? If so, which version of Windows Media Player are you using?
I'm using Windows MP 12 on the PC that has Rags 2 4 16. When a media file attempts to play, the media player shows up in the graphics window , but all buttons are greyed out and nothing plays.
There's only 1 movie clip I've ever had in this game, but no, it doesn't work in my rags. Also, there are a few photos in the more recent versions that don't display (not sure if they are bad references, missing images, software errors or what). I should mention that most of the photos that don't display properly cause the media player to pop up into the image display area, but the player doesn't behave quite the same for both situations (and I've run into image display problems with rags in other games enough times even when they were made in the same version of rags that I tend to ignore the issue).
That said, it isn't strictly a windows media player problem. Videos are put into a temporary storage location on the PC when rags tries to play them. I can actually play the game's video in the window's media player that exists on my computer outside of rags just fine.
(And yes, some of this is based on actual proof and some on supposition, as I don't have the files in their original form.)
