Issues fixed

Compatibility

This game is notoriously difficult to run on Windows 7, the primary symptom of which being an immediate application crash when one attempts to run it. If encountered, follow these steps. Take note that this procedure is for the GOG.com version of the game.

  1. If your system has been changed in any way, or you have not played the game in a long time, use the GOG game installer to reinstall the game. Place it in some other location than your current installation.
  2. Navigate to the SG folder of your non-working Colin McRae Rally game folder, and copy the contents into the SG folder of your new game installation. This will allow you to keep your saves, ghosts, options, etc.
  3. Create a shortcut to your new game installation if the installer hasn't done so. Right-click on the shortcut, select Properties and then select the Compatibility tab. Check "Run this program in compatibility mode" and select Windows XP Service Pack 3 from the drop-down menu.
  4. Attempt to run the game. If everything has gone well, you can safely delete the folder of your non-working game installation.
