Fixed sporadic freeze / crash in Windows 10 64bit - Dune 2000

[AndreB123]

Hi,
I'm posting this to help people who suffered from the same issue as  I did.

The issue:
- sporadic freeze / crash of Dune 2000 Gruntmod 1.6.2.2 in Windows 10 64 bit

My settings:



How to fix:
- Go into your install directory of Gruntmod
Example:

F:\Program Files (x86)\Gruntmods Studios

- Search for every exe
Example:

*.exe

- Rightclick on every exe the search will find.

- Go to Compatibility settings

- Go to Change settings for all users

- Mark:
Run as 16bit, fullscreen optimization deactivated, run as administrator
- Hit ok and proceed with every exe
- Optional reboot your pc
- Done. The game should run like a charm for hours now. Enjoy!

Yes I am aware that you will technically not need to do this for every exe but I was to lazy to find all appropriate exes that actually need this. Feel free to enhance this fix by finding out the exact exes that need these options. Furthermore I also do not know which of these settings actually fixes the issue, again feel free to experiment and find out. I will gladly update this if I get more details to this, but for now I am happy that it works.

Did you apply Windown 10 Hotfix in this post?

Yes long beforehand, without the hotfix I couldn't even launch the game.

Hi I joined today just to thank

AndreB123 for their post because the game kept crashing on me all the time whenever there was a lot going on or if I did something that the game crashed on for no reason. I can now play the game fully as normal like before, so thank you very much!

Sadly, this does not appear to resolve the issue. 

I've applied these settings, downloaded and installed the Windows 10 hotfix and tried different resolutions but the game crashes randomly in campaign mode. Oddly, the CNCnet multi player is fine.
