Re: Does the Windows 10 Creators Update help BOBII run on W1

First, thanks for all the ideas. I have had some progress, but also some failures. I added the dx9 c file to the BOB II folder. I adjusted my window to 1600X900. I played once in the campaign and alt Xed successfully. A second time led to a crash. Now the in game movies run fine without any issues, ...

Re: Lets work together to get BOBII to work on Windows 10.

I would suggest that more people try it before you confirm that it does not work, especially with the way I had to go about to get that file into my win32 folder, which was a pain. And please keep trying things, I really want to play this game on Windows 10 some day if possible. Good luck in your ef...

Re: Lets work together to get BOBII to work on Windows 10.

I was able to copy the dx9 file into the windows/system32 file in a tricky way. Windows would not let me copy the file outright, but when I selected to compare the files and copy it, I got your d3d9 file in as d3d9 (2).dll. So next what I did was rename my original d3d9 file with a (3), and then I d...

Re: Lets work together to get BOBII to work on Windows 10.

Yes I tried. When I go to properties for either the windows file and then go to the securities tab and advanced the owner is "trusted installer" and I have tried to change that without success.

Re: Lets work together to get BOBII to work on Windows 10.

The computer will not allow me to copy the new DX9 file over the old one. Does anyone know in windows 10 how I can do this. I'm using my own personal msi laptop. I have no idea how to edit permissions in Windows/system32 folder so that I can copy the new DX9 file over the old one. I tried several id...

Are you sure my machine will cough? That makes me nervous, since I have never seen that before.

Lets work together to get BOBII to work on Windows 10.

I am proposing that a bunch of us diehards get together to try to fix the issues with BOBII and Windows 10 possibly using dxwmd. While I have no programming experience, I would love to be a tester! I have a lot of time for about 2 more weeks before I'm back to teaching and after that I will still do...

For now I put the gam...

Re: Any hope for running 2.13 on Windows 10?

How hard is it to do a dual boot of windows 10 and windows 7, just for the purpose of playing BOB II? Has anyone successfully done this? I just really want to play this game, but it looks hopeless in Windows 10. Would Windows 7 pro work? (Keystores online has it for 29 bucks where you can download w...

Re: Windows 10 success

So did those settings work for you? Were you able to increase the graphics at all?

Edit: I tried them, no success. Very frustrating. I have a geforce 960m card.
