Amadeus Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hi guys, just installed my favorite game SC GC GOLD on my new PC. First it starts pretty good but with the first screen I got an error. Directx failed: dderr_exeption No real crash but I could not start over and play. Any ideas are pretty welcome. Amadeus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isnogud Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Disable full screen mode. Does WW1 (without breakthroug) work for you on win 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Yes that's it. Now it works. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Unfortunately it looks like Windows 8 is not supporting the full screen game setting at this time. I'm looking into this but Isnogud is correct, playing in non full screen mode seems to be a temporary workaround for it, for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 A new win 8 Problem sometimes appears when ending a turn. When ending I could save a pbem turn but the game do not end. I could (and must) go to the Task Manager to end Programm. Afterwards the turn is fine but this should be fixed. The pic shows what I see when freezing at the end of the turn. "Ereignisse berücksichtigen" is localized by me for #PROCESSING_EVENTS Small note: By the way the text for the "alternative capital" Melbourne is interrupted.

Hubert Cater Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hi Amadeus, does this happen for every time you attempt to end and save an email game, or was it just for this one particular turn? I only ask as I'm not sure if this is a Windows 8 problem specifically or perhaps something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 No, not always but often. Additionally I recognize that sometimes when right clicking on a unit the game freeze/stops. Esc and Alt+Tab and back solve this but strange anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
