I got some errors (Unhandled exception and assertion failed) but i found a solution I rename the folder video to video.old (data/video), set compatibility to WINDOWS 2000 and after i lunch the game alt tab, Task manager -> Meridian113.exe-> Set afinity-> CPU 0.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cheesy as hell, but a classic game that is still fun, if you don't mind driving around a lot. Very similar to the first game, Rise of Clans features more twists in the story than an M. Night Shyamalan movie. Quests usually are not more than go here, deliver thing, go there kill bad guys, or find this, but it works. Half the fun is the glitchy mess that HTA is, with terrible ai and bugged missions, but it works often enough that it's not detracting from the game. Also dosn't hurt that it's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Make that a cautious recommendation if, and only if, you really liked the original HTA so much you can live with lots of flaws. Playing it in Russian probably won't hurt either. Let's start with the good stuff though: Some things were actually improved since the original game. You can now consume commodities to repair your truck, which adds some urgently needed tactical depth. So does the new critical hit system in combat. The pacing is faster, the maps feel denser. You get to drive some of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imagine a game that mix Twisted Metal and a open world game like Fallout...Is this game.You start as a vagabond that has to do missions to earn some cash and at the same time,killing enemies. The fun thing is that you can purchase parts to your dune buggy or truck,making he faster and stronger.This game has a cool soundtrack. The only problem is the cutscenes,the characters continue moving after they have talked .-. Anyway,it's recommended for Mad Max fans, Vehicular Combat games fan and even…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Be advised, until this game is updated or corrected it will not work properly on windows 7 64 bit. You can load, run it once and save but it will crash with a nullpointer exception when you attempt to reload it. If this changes, I would change my recommendation. I love the game system behind this game, but this game is not currently playable for me.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok. This game is the worst of the two Hard Truck Apocalypse games. Granted, for $1.50 (on sale) you get what you pay for. Pros: Trucks with guns Truck models are nice More customizable colors for trucks and the ability to add decals (when available). Like the previous HT:A, you have easy to use driving/aiming using keyboard and mouse Perks system: This is kind of a WTF. You have them, but I didn't see any way that they helped or hindered. It was never obvious. Cons: Voice acting: ABSOLUTELY…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a bad game for $5.99. If you want somthing differnt and are found of vehicular combat trucking then this is a must. Just remember to save offten. It dosent crash, its just your truck sucks in the begining. Also it works well with my GTX670 and Win 7 64bit set up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I could rate this one in the middle. I like this game, and I appreciate what this expansion was trying to do, but the amount of bugs and game-breaking issues this expansion introduced kinda makes it not feel worth it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My gambling addict friend said if I post a review and it gets 350 likes and 50 Awards that he will buy me a case of beer, some vodka and 1 kg of lemon So im just gonna leave this here. Мой друг-игроман сказал, что если я опубликую отзыв и он наберет 350 лайков и 50 наград, он купит мне ящик пива, немного водки и 1 кг лимона, так что я просто оставлю это здесь.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This open-world, third-person, post-apocalyptic driving shooter is kind of odd. It's also kind of old. This game is from the mid-'00s, and there are some issues getting it to work reliably on new systems [like it failing to save video settings after restarting, occasional crashes]. The translation from Russian is a bit rough, but overall the gameplay of driving about and shooting all sorts of things is compelling. Especially because you get to customize your rig, not just with different…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you've been having the "Unhandled exception errors" like I have when loading into the game, I found a fix. I am posting this here in case anyone else has this problem. (Shoutout to ScRaFy and ArCtoS in the discussion boards) 1. If you don't have a hex editor, then get one. (Free Hex Editor Neo is the one I used) 2. Go to your game directory. (SteamLibrary > steamapps > common > HARD TRUCK APOCALYPSE RISE OF CLANS) 3. Edit Meridian113.exe with a hex editor. (For me, it was Right Click >…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hard Truck is a rather old game but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. As a matter of fact it gets a lot of thing right, where other modern games fail. To get the game running you might have to run it in Compat. Mode and or delete the video directory withing the game installation directory. The gameplay is okay and the controls fluid. The quest system is a bit off and the the rather strange dialogs make sure that you don't forget about this being an east-block production. Still, Hard Truck is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has cool concept but it's hard to recommend it today even taking into consideration how retrogaming can often look like. Main missions are confusing, there is basically no plot and the game is not optimized for modern resolutions. Also even choosing some resolutions from the list causes crashes. There shall be some politics in Steam regarding old games, so that they are either optimized to work properly, or they are not being sold at all. You know, like it's in GOG store.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warning: Broken Game!This game has design/implementation defects that will render this unplayable for many gamers. The developers are aware of numerous problems with this older game but categorically refuse to acknowledge or remediate them, leaving the community to search for solutions, while they continue to have their hands out for more money from gamers. This is appalling anticonsumer behaviour. The community offers a number of farfetched technical solution aspirations, but none of these…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Won't load on my computer... Don't know why.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Figured the game was worth a try at $2 even if it didn't work. Which it didn't even with the suggested fixes. Maybe you can get it to work, maybe you can't. Up to you whether the risk is worth taking. System info Windows 8.1 Fx8320 HD7950
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can recommend it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a car combat game it's okay. The graphics could be betther also the physics, but for 2$ it's more thank okay!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It only took me 2 days to finish the storyline which I found actually short(Half the time I was actually trading and buying and doing side quests). I haven't finished Ex Machina since I don't want to end the game too soon. Anyways just like Ex Machina its the same vehicle combat game rpg with trading and quests. The trucks are the same in addition to adding the scout and the fighter that you can actually drive. The paint jobs got a bit more of an upgrade giving some personality to your truck.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my favorite games wish there were more games like this one :3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I used to play this game a lot when I was young and full of life and now I realize it isn't that good as I remember it, but it's still fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unlike the two other games in this series, at least this one loaded on the first attempt and I was able to play it. It was actually quite fun. I was disappointed though that HTA Ex Machina and Arcade would not load. I was able to get Arcade to load on the second attempt, but I could never get Ex Machina to load. I would avoid both Ex Machina and Arcade, and just get Rise of the Clans.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Today's stream: Post-Apocalyptic Trucking Going to start with Vangers (1998) and then switch to Ex Machina / Hard Truck Apocalypse (2005) Starting earlier today, in about 2 hours
unlabelledView post →One of interesting things, that Rig’n’roll games sometimes was localized as Hard Truck. And There was “Hard Truck Apocalypse” which was a different game from a different studio, just smashed with this title in the west. Originally it was called “Ex Machina” and it was developed in my hometown.->
unlabelledView post →Unpolished, with rushed story and poorly explained, the game overall feels rushed and feels more like a DLC to the first game, but i still like it, however, i would replay the first game many times but this one, prob wont replay it again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is game of my childhood so i love this game very much from all of my hearth <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, to everyone who puts negative review about this game most of you forget the fact, this game wasnt ment for next generation gaming when it was released there was only few computers were able to run this game and now everyone some reason complain *its bad, bad graphics,keeps crashing* these are pretty normal things guys, if you really want to try this game, Use a Windows XP with Good GPU you will see game doesnt even crash or do anything wrong, When i played this game's in 2005 my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not as good as Apocalypse, but still nice. Not much maps and quests (which aren't so interesting and demanding) and overall, plot is too short in my opinion. It's very easy to die, because vehcicles have too low hp... Although, there are some new guns, cars upgrades; you can drive this small cars, which you couldn't before and there is money from destroyed enemies - that improve this game a little. Eventually, every fan of HT Apocalypse rather should play Rise Of Clans and call…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →amazing rework of original hard truck apocalypse
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a trade/combat game like Freelancer, but with trucks! It is unironically one of my favorite games. A fair improvement on the gameplay of the original, although the cutscenes are still awful. In this version, you can make a respectable amount of money just blowing up other vehicles as opposed to trading, you can carry around repair parts, and you get to equip the sleeker, faster raider chasies from the otiginal. Paint and decoration give stat bonuses, etc. It's also really short, which…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Need more games like this even if they are single player!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Somehow this game ruined the original, despite more content. Rise of Clans is an attempt to move the game to the Americas (or at least, sorta like the Americas) and give more options, like instead of a truck, start with a smaller vehicle (such as the vehicles bandits drive in the first game). There's also more cutscenes and a bit more of a story. Unfortunately, the result is buggy, and somehow, much WORSE than the first game. Rise of Clans have you, "The Vagrant", on a quest to reach…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Never have I seen a harder band of trucks. They're made out of some ridiculously tough type of metal and can withstand one thousand guns. These are truly hard trucks. How hard are these trucks? WEll,

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An excellent game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cool sequel but lower tier
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very enjoyable vehicular combat RPG. Many weapons to mount on few avaible vehicles. Could be more stable, but despite that it's a good game, although a bit short.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have finally beat the Hard Truck Apocalypse: Rise of Clans (aka HTA: RoC and Ex Machina: Meridian 113). The impression it left me is... mixed. I'll try to keep this review spoiler-free for those who didn't have a chance to finish the game yet. In general, it retains almost all the pros of the original game (you can find the review here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/themugbearer/recommended/285500), except for exploration. Here's a short version: * Truck variety and customization. Even more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know a game's good when you spend five hours on the title screen because trying to play the game is impossible
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buying this game I thought it's going to be good Hard Truck: Apocalypse succesor, which actually was a game fun to play. My expectations weren't met, as the game was completely unplayable. There are many places lacking in level design, where your truck can get stuck very easily and it's fuel tank is very limited, which makes this game more about avoiding being stuck in the middle of nowhere instead of car combat.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a really nice game.Has an OK story and you can play nearly all vehicles that you couldnt play in apocalypse but it has one absolutly impossible part : defend a base with the flag (pumpgun) and the enemies are overunnin you
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hard truck apl. have a special place in my heart 4ever. Reason? Well its because it was the only game i was able to paly on my 1st PC 516mbRAM memory. When i was a kid i didnt know about internet at all. I was playing single player games and grow up with them. So... i have both Hard Truck Apocalypse and H.T.A. Rise of Clans. -Compared to 1st HTA Apocalypse wich is awesome game. I have 19 hourse in it for single player game of that time. Done all side quests and killed over 500 enemy tucks.…
