Harry_3 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Windows 10 64 b. Dune 2000 - Gruntmods Edition Great game! Every so often in the middle of playing Dune 2000; the game gets stuck; the PC needs to be reset. All I can do is switching off the power. Start up again; load the the last save and continue; 10 min. later it happens again. Who can help me? Regards, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyixx Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 did you ever figure out how to fix this? i am having the same problem.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_3 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 Sorry for the late reply. No i didn't fix that problem; the program still flunks out every 15 minutes or so. Reason why I don't play Dune any more, it's a pity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp1cemustflow Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 This was a terrible disapointment. I missed this game so much and now i cant even get past the 3rd mission because of the same problem. If anyone finds a way to fix this please please please let us know., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BapaLynde Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Exactly the same here. The fixes presented on the forum don't seem to work sadly 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skooma Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Hi had same issue then I tried different settings and the game did not crash. Go to game file location and open 'ddrwa.ini'. Change these settings to these: ; Override width/height and always stretch to fullscreen ; Note: Can be combined with 'windowed=true' to get windowed-fullscreen aka borderless mode fullscreen=false ; Bits per pixel, possible values: 16, 24 and 32, 0 = auto bpp=32 ; Run in windowed mode rather than going fullscreen ; Note: Can be combined with 'fullscreen=true' to get windowed-fullscreen aka borderless mode windowed=true ; Show window borders in windowed mode border=True ; auto, opengl, gdi, direct3d9 (auto = try opengl/direct3d9, fallback = gdi) renderer=opengl ; Force CPU0 affinity, avoids crashes/freezing, *might* have a performance impact singlecpu=True Save file. I think 'rendered' setting to opengl does the trick so might try direct3d9 if not working. Or maybe it fullscreen/windowed resolution. Hope it works!

Harry_3 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Hello Striking Drekavac, I went to 'first go to' STEPS to get Dune 2000 to launch in Windows10 64 bits' I followed the steps; I think the instructions are meant in case you can't launch Dune2000. On my PC I launch dune without any problems . 1024x768 didn't work; but 1920x1080 works fine with mu monitor Iiyama ProLite XU2492HSU Once running I could play a few evenings but every so often in the middle of playing Dune 2000; the game gets stuck; the PC needs to be reset. All I can do is switching off the power. Start up again; load the the last save and continue. Later it happens again. I uninstalled the program and after restart WIN10 I installed Dune2000, starting with the first mission. At mission 4 the problems started again; the game gets stuck. windows freezes, had to hard reset the PC. Q: where can I find ddrwa.ini ?
