Title: Problems with windows 8, HELP Post by: Vitte on February 22, 2013, 05:05:46 PM For some reason I installed Win8 and after that I wanted to enjoy my lovely game, but unfortunately I habe big problems with it.
When I launch the game half of display works incorrect while intro and while playing (menu works fine). I tried a lot of things, tried a lot of versions of the game but still result is the same. I attached screenshot on which you can see the problem, but usually the right part is working properly and the left side as u see is bad. I really need your help...

"To play 3D-mode on Win7 in windowed mode... ( with no ForceDirectDrawEmulation of course ) hex-edit the english version of EngRel.Exe, write 0x00 at file offset: 0x000BD0A8Set the desktop to 16-bit color. Enable the "Run in 640 x 480 Screen Resolution" on the compatibility tab to have a fullscreen window. On Win8: Windowed mode fixes CPU-mode for me ( if it isn't run as admin ) Win8 also has an option to reduce the display to 16-bit color on the compatibility tab " So you will need a hex editor like 010Editor (google it) or download my folder http://www.mediafire.com/?k74w1xdnv89y9nn (http://www.mediafire.com/?k74w1xdnv89y9nn) and paste/overwrite into C:\Program Files (x86)\Dark Omen the Mods and PRG folders that contains Ghabry's mod selector and a modded EngRel that has already been hex edited to run in window mode but right click on it and 1) Enable the "Run in 640 x 480 Screen Resolution" on the compatibility tab to have a fullscreen window. 2) Set the desktop to 16-bit color. On Win8: Windowed mode fixes CPU-mode for me ( if it isn't run as admin ) Win8 also has an option to reduce the display to 16-bit color on the compatibility tab Title: Re: Problems with windows 8, HELP Post by: Vitte on February 22, 2013, 10:11:45 PM Thank you!

This solves DO compatibility problems.
