Dangerous Waters in Windows 10 installation
Hello Gents:
I have not been around for over 6 months. Picked up a copy of Dangerous Waters and attempted to install on my Windows 10 sys... no joy in mudville. Any idea how to even get it to install? I keep threatening to restart SH5 but I have been fighting my health issues for 6 months... surgery behind left ear into the bone to remove 2 infections.... done. Now fighting infection in my right leg..... hopefully success by Monday. Remember ... one step forward... two steps back. Roland |

Does installing not work? Or does it not play? If the latter then the d3d8.dll fix should solve that. And don't install it in Program Files. That avoids UAC bothering about saving files into the Scenario folder.

DW 10
DW (Steam version) and latest RA mod work just fine in Windows 10, at least for me.
No need to add anything (.dll), latest Steam version comes with it. Iam on W10 x64 and GTX 660 nVidia, i5 chip 8GB ram. Last edited by red2112; 07-11-17 at 01:15 AM. |

non-steam copy of Dangerous Water
Gents:
I was able to install the game onto my hd. It will not start upon "play" selection but receive window notification ... looking for solution. I am going to review the early posts regarding the d3d8.dll fix ... just need to know where to install and how. Roland |

To be honest, the game looks just fine as it is to me. The highest res it can go (on my end) is 1280x1024, which is ok. Iam not looking for a AAA game, I played alot of 688i H/K before and still did not to long ago, no fancy graphics there. The same goes for "Fleet Command", all though my screen is 1920x1080. IMHO It´s one of those games were nice graphics are not needed, just like "Harpoon 3" or "Fleet Command". Sure it would be nice if it got updated to today´s standards, but I can live with that. Nice graphics then SH-5 So, I havent bothered to mess with AA or the nVidia inspector/control panel. If it works, don´t touch it Sorry I could not help you much there... Happy hunting! -- |
