Ok, finally dusted off DW since a long time and tried to get this fix working. Unfortunately no. No matter which ModeID I set in the dangerouswaters.ini file. Or compatibility mode XP SP2 in the shortcut. I placed the DLL into the game's folder but I don't get any other resolutions. A Wrapper.log file appears in game's folder and every attempt the same line is added: Call failed 0x88760868 [EDIT: This probably means it failed to set ModeID to 4/1600x1200, which is larger than my max lcd resolution.]

I tried this with the DLL from the latest DWX 1.42 mod as a fresh download from http://www.jiri-dvorak.cz/dangw/index.html

My laptop is a MSI GP70 2PE Leopard, which has an NVidia840m chipset and additionally Intel HP Graphics 4600 onboard. Only the latter is detected by in the 3D options. (aside from a "Default" graphics card, whatever that is) OS is Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, build 14393.1358 (1607) Even setting the Dangerouswaters.exe to use the Nvidia chip in the Nvidia control panel. ~~No difference~~.
