How do you get it to work on windows 10

I used "COSSACKS / AMERICAN CONQUEST (GL WRAPPER & PATCH)"
It redirect legacy DirctDraw (which technically still works on modern Win 10) to Open GL, does not need any compatibility options, just put patch dll file into game's installation folder in your steam library (E.G. XXXX\steamapps\common\American Conquest

Now I can use 2K & up resolutions as well (only downside to this is, that HUD did not scales well: it decreases in size)

a little more detailed explanation:

SOLUTION: for graphics error, and game speed / scroll speed crash for windows 10

1) Go to the folder steam>steamapps>common>American Conquest
2) highlight, but don't run, the DMCR.exe application icon. This will show the "Application Tools" option in the windows explorer top menu bar
3) click manage, test compatability
4) allow the system to detect best settings. It should select windows XP compatability mode

For me, this allowed me to select my HD resolution under game options, and also slow the game speed down where I wanted it, which was 75% at slow mode.

Hope that helps others!
there is no compatability under application tools

♥♥GeschaelteAnanas♥♥ Is there one that sais "troubleshoot compatibility?" If not try single-clicking on the DMCR icon in order to highlight it, then right-click and choose "properties." Does a "Compatibility" tab then appear? If so, select the "Compatibility" tab and click on "Run Compatibility troubleshooter." After a moment you should be able to select a troubleshooting option. Click "try recommended settings," then "test the program." Your game should begin running in order to test the settings. Don't forget to finish troubleshooting when the game exits (if the game worked) by clicking "next" on the program compatibility troubleshooter and saving the settings

This is how I got it to work on my Windows 10.

Confirmed.
I am running this game on 1440p resolution with Divided Nation.
No compatibility modes used.
The link you provided worked flawlessly.
Thank you.

That solution will work even with the disc version of the game?
