Dangerous Waters on Windows 8 / 10

Hinrich Schwab · 09-06-23, 08:18 PM

I am also experiencing issues with Windows 11. Nothing seems to work. I have tried the D3D8.dll fix, which does not work. I have tried DXWIND, which also does not work. The game just goes to the black screen then crashes out. None of the fixes or workarounds are doing me any good. All of my Windows 10 machines run the game with the D3D8.dll fix just fine. I do not know if it is something in Windows 11 causing the problem, such as an asinine security feature, or a hardware incompatibility with newer NVIDIA cards that needs the D3D8.dll patched to fix it.
