DW and Windows 10? (SOLVED)
 

Anyone successfull running Dangerous Waters on Windows 10?

I tried using the patch (dll file) for windows 8 and it seemed ok at first, but after installing patch 104, although the game does not crash it only shows the mouse cursor with all black behind it.
I can hear the sounds of the intro and menu clickings but it's all black!

I've been meaning to install the test version on a separate hard drive to check but I just haven't had the time. Does the test version even work anymore now that 10 is actually out? I might be able to get at it this weekend.

The test version of windows 10 should still work, although I think it will bug you like hell to update.
Anyway, my report is related to the RTM build (10240).

On a side note, DW works well on this same hardware with Win8.1 and the patch dll.

yea, the wrapper didn't work correctly on W10. hopefully someone can/will fix this, the src is available ;)

Don't work with me also just the same issue like Pirate. Music with black screen after patch.

Sub command steam version also have problem , can open game but screen blink quickly in black color.

Mine is windows 10 64bit pro , Lenovo thinkpad x250 , DW steam version. Hope someone figure how to fix it soon.

Windows 10 seem to be good hope thing get in place soon.

Has anyone tried running in a window? Does Windows 10 support 16-bit color?

nope, same as 8.1 - what isn't courious, cause the own technique from dw using the buffer is a very incompatible thing for modern systems.

welcome aboard!
 

16-bit : nope
Administrator : nope

:Kaleun_Salute: ahoy mates!

Glad to see I'm not the only one.

DW worked fine on Windows 8.1, I also have the same issue, black screen, mouse pointer and music but no graphics.

I get the same thing with Medieval II Total War.

So I think Windows 10 fubared a few things for legacy games.

I updater the wrapper (v 0.02) to fix the W10 incompatibility. At least on the one W10 I have available.

Edited, for being a dumb schmuck

Thanks Komat. It works great!!! :up:
