I have the GOG version of Empires: Dawn of the Modern World installed. I downloaded the widescreen patch. My native monitor resolution is 2560x1440.
Whilst the new resolution settings appear in the settings menu, whenever I try to launch a game with the setting 2560x1440, the game crashes. I can run the game 1920x1080 but it is not my monitor's actual correct resolution and the game's minimap appears to be off. Whenever I click say a gold mine on the minimap, it takes me sort of nearby but not the exact location.
Is there any other solutions? Perhaps the download file could be modified to allow higher resolution support?
The steam version of F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate will not even launch, at all. No crashes, but a complete failure to boot, with the following error message from Windows:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
I've been digging and i havent seen a single person with this issue, I tried reinstalling PM, running as admin, compatibility mode, verifying cache (which is actually how i forcibly reinstalled it), as well as running all the usual fixes these games require for modern systems. Base F.E.A.R. and Extraction Point run perfectly with no issues. Can anyone help me with this?
My specs are as follows:
Windows 10 64 bit
AMD Fx 6 core processor at default clock
Radeon 470x GPU
16GB RAM
ASRock Motherboard if thats relevant
Generic solutions for this error for Windows is installing runetime libraries, all of which I have installed already, I have checked. I'm pretty baffled by this, as I have gotten PM to run on this machine before but now it just won't no matter what. I would really appreciate the help.
Update: Tried a complete uninstall and removing all traces of Perseus Mandate from my computer via regedit, then attempting a vanilla install of the game, still nada, tried repairing dirextx runtime libraries too this also did not provide a solution. Tried DEP exception that's not the culprit either. Im fully out of ideas.
Maybe it is clashing with some software running in the background. You try to stop the software running in the background and try again. Try the other way is to reinstall the VGA driver or upgrade it. try Lowering the screen resolution before opening.
