Game will not start at all. (Ghost Recon 1)

[NONSTOP]

I've clicked the game from my desktop and from in steam and it refuses to start. It'll load and fade to black then it'll force close and not load at all.

Try disabling NVidia in game overlay in GeForce Experience (specific cause to my instance), perhaps similar modern overlays could also be a cause.
Had similar issue: after red storm opening splash banner, game would lose audio and lock up or crash after clicking on menu buttons or minimizing application. After turning off the nvidia overlay, the game is once again 'rock steady'..

I've found a fix that worked for me.
Go into directory, find file named "dgbhelp.dll" and renamed it to "dgbhelp_old.dll"
Save, launch game, tada.

This works with the GoG Version and also with the Boxed Gold Version
After one day of searching for a solution (and thinking it's the Hybrid Ati Graphics Card and avoiding to set up a Virtual Box for this game) it's that simple.
Many Thanks Excrete, this works

Hello everyone, please accept my apologies for the lack of reply until now! I'm sorry to hear that you were all experiencing these crashes in Ghost Recon, but am glad to see that a few workarounds were discovered (I've quoted them below for reference):

Game doesn't start in Windows 10 Home with Radeon R9 380X, Adrenalin 2020 Edition 19.12.3 drivers. After installing the older dgVoodoo 2.54, it seems to work fine.

If anyone is continuing to experience these issues, please try the above, and further to that, ensure to run the game and Steam with admin rights, as well as in compatibility mode. I'm happy to try and help further if needed.

Thank you very much, I had this problem with the game on Ubisoft Connect, the game wouldn't open, and now it's working.

I have it on Ubisoft and the fix that worked for me was to set compatibility mode to Windows 98 / Me. I have found that this works on a lot of the 20 something year old games. Apparently it simulates having administrator permissions somewhat as in those days consumer versions of windows did not have multi-user capability.
