I've tried the 8.1 fix which got it to work once, but as soon as I quit, back to normal.
Any ideas? |
I have run into this issue before where the patch doesn't work when it should. Here is what worked for me. I cannot guarantee that it will work, but it is something to try.
First, uninstall DW or SC completely. This includes
all configuration files.
Second, reinstall either DW or SC.
Third, try to run it
without the DLL patch. It will crash, but what we want is for the game to create all of the INI files.
Finally, add the patch DLL.
It
should work after this. I tried it on Windows 10 with the direct download install from Amazon, so there were no DRM issues to complicate things. Again, it worked for me and it may work for you. For some reason DW and Windows 10 are really funky, patch or no patch.
