Hey Elishacloud,

First of all - good job on this one, its quite impressive what you achieved with this technically.

Ive tried basically everything - still can not get it to run. When trying your latest release these are the logs I get:

Ive tried a lot of combinations already - including your guide on the fleet ops forums. Can you please confirm if this still works?

getting this with another version mentioned in the fleetops forum

I noticed this line here:

12236 21:08:19.611 Loaded library: dxwnd.dll

That should not be loading for this game. Try setting/adding the following line into the ini file of the version mentioned in the fleetops forum:

DxWnd                      = 0
dr-platform-devops commented 3 years ago

hi Elisha,

Thanks for the prompt help. Good point re the loaded library. Forget about the above logs for now - I tried with different versions. Wanted to start with a clean slate, so ive clean installed the game.

Patched to 1.2 Restarted the system, then patched to 1.3. Overwritten the exe with the no-cd one Then, as per: https://www.fleetops.net/forums/armada/armada-1-in-windows-10-12841 I have downloaded the dx wrapper in this link: https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/issues/28 Removed the comp settings using regedit and added comp level win7

Now when I start the game (without dxwnd, with the regular exe) I get this in the logs:

And the splash image on the screen - windows says the software is not responding.

dr-platform-devops commented 3 years ago

hm okay - with the other fix found on this guide: https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/wiki/Star-Trek-Armada-1 Seems like im one step closer - at least the game starts - and then it crashes. But before it does it writes useful logs.

Try using this update: dxwrapper.zip

This uses the latest build updates and switches to using DDrawCompat v2.1, rather than the Experimental version.

Hi Elisha,

Works like charm - Thanks a lot :) Happy to play this piece of history. I just planned to install XP on vmware player - but this is way better on host OS with high res. Added log output for reference - maybe theres a connection between my system and the reason the original posted fix non-function.

Can you add the new fix to your guide - or also to the fleetops forum? Thats the first fix google catches.
