RANDYBONNETTE'S PROFILE

author=bulmabriefs144
As this problem is likely to be increasingly common as time goes on, this is what I found.

None of the compatibility settings actually worked. Period. From research, I found that Windows 8 discontinued DirectDraw without offering a real replacement (really stupid idea, guys). They say you can write essay today and use Direct2D but there doesn't seem to be an understandable way of just downloading and it sounded like some of the stuff had issues. And OpenGL is garbage.

So what to do? When I found in windowed mode rather than fullscreen, it didn't seem to want to kill the screen, and in fact was able to run. Patch this, or use DynRPG to run in auto-patch. It runs, but rather sluggish. To make things run like before: Windows XP 3, Run as Admin, and if it still seems choppy, run in 8-bit color (since it uses 256 color anyway).

Hi,

Unfortunately, I cannot open the zip file you mentioned - I get security warning error. Could you please resend it via Dropbox? My antivirus is driving me mad - it's been happening with all files recently.
Thanks,
Randy
