Issues fixed
Windows 10 crash at Start-Up
http://virusgaming.zohosites.com/files/RogueSpear%20Windows10%20(1).7z
Alternate (and probably better) Windows 10 fix:
Use a Directx 1 to OpenGL conversion Wrapper. Like the ones Linux users use to be able tp play Windows games on Linux machines (known as Wine).
Go to http://adolfintel.com/?p=wined3d/index.frag And download WINED3D FOR WINDOWS Download the "Latest version" (1.9.19 staging at the time this was written).
As per the instructions in the included readme file:
- Extract the files named ddraw.dll, libwine.dll and wined3d.dll into the game directory folder in which the game executable is found.
- The Readme states that the ddraw.dll must be renamed and a hex editor must be used, but this is not necessary for this game luckily. It worked fine just by doing the first step.
I can confirm that this fix worked on Windows 10 64 bit Education (Basically the same thing as Windows 10 64 bit Pro). No compatibility settings have to be enabled.
