1/22/2024 0 Comments Dxwnd dangerous waters![]() Once I do, I might replay it on a harder setting.Īnd I too have very soft spot for some of the old simulations.Īlthough I prefer to try to work them on the modern systems (and sometimes that makes me want to cry!). I’ll let you guys know when I’ve beaten every mission. Gunship! and another Creative Voodoo2 card for SLI mode sounds like good Christmas presents for this retired soldier and the recently brought out of retirement Aptiva PC!!! That was stupid on my part because this sim is fantastic. I actually think the intimidating manual scared me away from giving the game a chance when I bought it 20 some odd years ago. The game is a lot simpler than the manual led me to believe. I’ve beaten 3 of the 5 M1TP2 campaigns on “Easy” setting. I do remember everybody being mad at Hasbro for canceling Tank! It doesn’t seem that long ago - boy, time flies. They would be smart to complete Tank! But, even if all we will ever have is M1TP2 and Gunship! That’s good enough for me. I have heard Microprose is being resurrected. We perhaps never know what was on their drafting boards when M1TP3 got canceled. and unless current MPS does something it was all for naught. Note that this is for 4k display, you might not want 2400x1800 otherwise.…. Here are the settings I'm using, perhaps someone will find it useful. There's this bit from the DXWnd creator for sub command (to fix cursor) that is a good starting point: Inject DLL method is not really needed, it works fine with windows hook. In the video, setting initial resolution and limiting resolution do nothing unless you tick the box also. The key problem is that you're not ticking the "enumerate 16-bit modes" in Direct3D settings. Oh well, it's the RSR remake so it is what it is.Īnyways, the settings in the tube do not really work, at least for me they do not. Also TMA jumping to zero if your guys lose the track for one second gets old. It's rather annoying that PING does not count for TMA and/or contact tracking. I dug out cold waters, had fun with it for a while and got bored with the unrealistic game antics, so lets dig out the old faithful. This does come up on Google among a few other threads. ![]() DxWnd is the program I was told about, I don't think there's any effective difference between the two. Others have used dxvoodoo (or something like that). Here's my video on how to run Dangerous Waters in a window on Windows 10 with DxWnd, if you're so interested (be sure to read the video description!!): But the d3d8.dll should work fine for fullscreen. I prefer running in a window to remove any risk of crashing from alt+tabbing, and I also like it better for accessing frequency sheets or other references. Why can't they make a game that's up to date and can be downloaded and played on a new Windows 10 Home or Pro version?Īs ET2SN mentioned, Dangerous Waters works just fine on Windows 10. I don't have room to set up another old computer and that huge monitor that I used with the Dell Computer. I have to keep my old Dell Windows XP computer in order to play this game in its original form on the CD that I bought. Why can't someone make a game that just does all that for us and that we can put into the CD player and load up on the computer where it works without all that moving files around and making changes to files? That would be nice for us older folks that don't have the aptitude to make all those changes ourselves. You can find info about what to edit in the INI in other threads on this (DW) forum. ini file and Win will ask what program you want to use. Chazly and some of the other folks can answer how to set that up.Īfter that, you'll need to make changes for things like display size and type by manually editing a file called dangerouswaters.ini in the game's main folder. There's also a way to run the game in Win 10 in windowed mode, but I don't use it. exe file in the same folder- you're OK and you've installed it right. Rule of thumb, if you see the actual DLL file and the DW. Just move the dll from its folder out to the main DW folder. As an example, if you want to run the current version of the RA mod it already has the d3d8 file included in the download, HOWEVER the. You can find the DLL here, just make sure you install it in the SAME folder where the dangerouswaters.exe file resides. Off the top of my head, I think you're talking about the d3d8.dll install. Which version of DW is giving you troubles? There was the original version on CD, the Steam version, and the direct download/install version from Strategy First.
