Fix for Windows 10

Post by ACE1918 »

I've found a fix that may work for fellow Windows 10 users for this game.

First of all you will need to download and install DxWnd:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/

Next run it and under edit click add. Make sure to add the Bob.exe file under path and launch. Then make sure to uncheck run in window and check both fullscreen only and aquire admin caps. After this, go to the compat. tab and check fake version, and select Windows 7.

Now you should be able to select whatever options you want in the game without having a ctd when you leave a mission. Just make sure that DxWnd is running when you start the game. Also, you may notice some screen flicker in the menu, but this doesn't seem to be an issue for ingame.

PS: One more thing, make sure that you disable all videos using bdg.txt as well.

Well, this is good news. :)
I still don't have Windows 10 so I could not try it.

Do you still need to have the 3D Resolution and the Campaign Resolution set to what your desktop resolution is?

Thanks for posting this.
