I had similar issues with DW RA 1.40 and Windows 10. I couldn't get mode ID 3 to run without crashing when I started the missions. I finally got to work by running it under compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3. I am using a GTX980m card which should be similar to your 970m.

I still get crashes when starting the mission but it's only maybe 5% of the time and when I restart and reload the mission starts without issue.

worth a try anyway.

Alright, i play DW on windows 8.1 64 bit, i got this .dll fix just when i got the game and it worked splendid. Now all of a sudden i get this problem where at start, the game tabs out. When i try to alt tab back again, the screen is black for 2-3 seconds, and then i get tabbed out again. Any idea what could be wrong?
