Striking Drekavac 0 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 cant edit the orginal post but game crashes are not static,they do not happen always at same time,sometimes they crash after minute,once was able to play for half hour and most times 10-25 minutes. i tried to setup virtual machine with windows XP to play dune 2000 but it crashed aswell. same crashes happen in windows 8.1 but if i grab my old potato with 4gb ram and quad intel cpu with windows 7 game runs with no any crashes... my conclusion is that all game crashes might be related to memory,how the win 10 uses it. i was not able to find any solution so as windows 10 suer i am not able to play dune 2000 with my current knowledge,unless someone know how to run the game without crashing whole computer..

Cm_blast 109 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Maybe you try it already, but did you try to add a compatibilty mode into dune2000.exe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I cannot say you too much options besides that and using the config.exe and trying with multiple configurations. I have been playing with gruntmods since, 8-10 years by now, with a few formating here and there and changing S.O and the game worked on Xp, on 7 and on windows 10 just fine.

I recently tried a fix that seems to be working, but only time will tell if it really does. I'm launching the game from the application in the folder instead of using the gruntmods launcher, just in case the compatibility mode isn't applying. So far, so good - I've gone from regular crashes within the hour to two days of gameplay without a crash. If it's a mission that can only be launched from the mission launcher, I've been starting up there, saving immediately, quitting, then launching again from the folder application, and loading from the game main menu. A little roundabout, but better than regular game crashes. Really wish Windows 7 was still readily available. It's much better for compatibility with just about everything in my experience.

Domaithianus 1 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 @Striking Drekavac Having checked the fix I mentioned on three separate Windows 10 machines now, I can confirm I haven't had a single crash in 3 weeks. The one time I forgot to quit from the initial launch, and start up using the separate application though, my game crashed within minutes, as if to emphasise I had the right solution. Happily, however, I've got my Windows 7 PC fixed, and it's running more smoothly than any Win 10 machine I've ever touched. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
