I don't think this is the issue on our ends, but you never know. I have 1600 x 900 resolution which comes out to the same ratio as 1366 x 768 does (1.77 ...) -- so at least we have that in common.

I find it strange since 1920 x 1080 comes out to the same ratio as 1600 x 900 does (i.e. the resolution ratio shouldn't be the problem).

I'll check out some of the options this weekend if I can. The ratio for 1366 x 768 is the same (1.77), so it shouldn't be the resolution on our ends.

Charles, are you running Win-7 or Win-10? Could the built-in DirectX in Windows 7-64 (my system) also be insufficient? I ask because I can run LSH3-2015 fine, but can't run any of the itterations after that (LSH3-2020 or LSH3-2022). Mainly because of the Win-10 requirement for those.

I can't seem to find whether or not you need to have Win-10 for OneAlex like you do for the LSH3 series.

Any idea of minimum requirements?

Thanks to everyone!

Or it could mean it doesn't detect DirectX 9. The already built in DirectX in Windows 10/11 isn't sufficient for such an old game. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...s.aspx?id=8109
