DW and Windows 10? (SOLVED)

Pirate · 07-29-15, 06:41 AM

Anyone successfull running Dangerous Waters on Windows 10?

I tried using the patch (dll file) for windows 8 and it seemed ok at first, but after installing patch 104, although the game does not crash it only shows the mouse cursor with all black behind it.
I can hear the sounds of the intro and menu clickings but it's all black!

I've been meaning to install the test version on a separate hard drive to check but I just haven't had the time. Does the test version even work anymore now that 10 is actually out? I might be able to get at it this weekend.

The test version of windows 10 should still work, although I think it will bug you like hell to update.
Anyway, my report is related to the RTM build (10240).

On a side note, DW works well on this same hardware with Win8.1 and the patch dll.

yea, the wrapper didn't work correctly on W10. hopefully someone can/will fix this, the src is available

Don't work with me also just the same issue like Pirate. Music with black screen after patch.

Sub command steam version also have problem , can open game but screen blink quickly in black color.

Mine is windows 10 64bit pro , Lenovo thinkpad x250 , DW steam version. Hope someone figure how to fix it soon.

Windows 10 seem to be good hope thing get in place soon.

Has anyone tried running in a window? Does Windows 10 support 16-bit color?

nope, same as 8.1 - what isn't courious, cause the own technique from dw using the buffer is a very incompatible thing for modern systems.

Glad to see I'm not the only one.

DW worked fine on Windows 8.1, I also have the same issue, black screen, mouse pointer and music but no graphics.

I get the same thing with Medieval II Total War.

So I think Windows 10 fubared a few things for legacy games.

I updater the wrapper (v 0.02) to fix the W10 incompatibility. At least on the one W10 I have available.

Edited, for being a dumb schmuck
