Re: America (Data Becker) Unplayable

Posted on 2020-09-03, 22:02

in Windows
In case anyone cares, I found a solution. Wine for Windows has the right dll files to make the game work properly. Look for WineD3DForWindows_3.0-staging at fdossena.com/?p=wined3d/index.frag and the game should work fine.

America (Data Becker) Unplayable

Posted on 2020-08-13, 20:46

in Windows
After much work I was able to get America - No Peace Behind the Line (Data Becker) working, but it is still unplayable. The problems is that the Mouse inevitably becomes locked up and/or jittery. The game itself eventually locks up and crashes. I have tried compatibility modes (Windows 98 is what it …

Legacy - Dark Shadows Menu Unplayable

Posted on 2020-08-10, 14:00

in Windows
Getting Legacy-Dark Shadows running on Windows 7 (64 bit) was hard enough to start with, but I finally got it installed and starting with major bugs. The biggest bug is, as you can see by the attached JPG, the menu does not work properly. I can move my mouse around and find the appropriate place to …

I know it has been three years, but that is why I wanted to ask if anyone else has found a solution to this problem? The game runs in processes for a few minutes before attempting to start, and then crashes. Full specs on my computer are as follows: Motherboard : Asus 970 Pro AURO (NEW) Processor : …

A Vampyre Story

in Windows
It is known that the first "A Vampyre Story" has problems with Windows 7 64-bit (which I have). Allegedly the problem is with the libpandadx9.dll If you rename that file and set the anti-aliasing to 0, then quit, and then rename libpandadx9.dll back to its original name it should work ... but alas …

Personally I wouldn't care about the menu issue (I get it too, but really easy to deal with) or the crashing at exit issue, neither really hinder the playability of the game. Well, the only playability problem I am getting is that the save menu only allows me to save a new slot (not record over old …

1. Why does it take five minutes to start the game (this always occurs). You mentioned antivirus in an earlier post. Maybe the antivirus is scanning everything the game is trying to do before it allows it. Can you add the game .exe to the antivirus' exclusions list? I did that and even turned off …

Newest update. After playing around for a while I basically quit only to find the program starting after five minutes. Unfortunately, the Main Screen has BAD double images. There are like two NEW GAME buttons and two QUIT buttons, etc. I can start the game by playing around with the mouse and …

Well, I am using the same video card (Radeon R7 370) although I did upgrade to this card on my old machine and can't swear I played it on this card. My new computer is a 4ghz octocore. The thing is I remember the game ran in processes before I finally got it to work, I just don't remember HOW I got …

Legacy : Dark Shadows on Windows 7

Okay, I know the game got low reviews (mainly for its poor programing and crashes), but I thought the game was quite good. I got it running on my old Windows 7 machine (64 bit) but cannot get it to work on my new Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. The problem right now is that it is open under "processes" …

That won't help him. Windows 7 64-bit does not have compatibility for 16 bit, but there is an unofficial patch for Sierra fans. As I am not involved I cannot vouch for it, but it worked on my computer. If links are allowed, go to : http://www.sierrahelp.com/Patches-Updates/Patches-Updates-Games/ …

Re: Outlaws (LucasArts) under Vista

Played through OUTLAWS on Windows 7. There were a few glitches. First, 3D patch does not work because it was not installed conventionally and the option to change Video Mode is only done through the conventional start up program (which must be bypassed). Second problem is that the level CIVIL WAR …

Sierras 16 bit Install Programs

Posted on 2010-12-05, 01:37

in Windows
Even though Sierra games will work on Windows 7 64-bit, their install programs will not. Occasionally I can find sites where people make their own install programs which will work on Windows 7 64-bit, but right now I am having trouble with Football Pro 97. Does anyone know how to get this working …
