My system:
- Dell Precision 7730
- Windows 10 Pro, Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763

What I did:

1. After installing the game, add Jiri Dvorak's d3d8.dll file.
- Download and unpack the d3d8.dll file (See Sandra GIGI's original post above)
- Copy the file d3d8.dll into the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dangerous Waters

2. Change the game executable's compatibility settings
- Right click on the file dangerouswaters.exe
- Select "Properties"
- When the Properties window opens, select the "Compatibility" tab
- Check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)"
- Select "OK" to close the Properties window

3. Fix the frozen mouse pointer
- Edit the file dangerouswaters.ini file
- Change the .SoftwareCursor line to Yes
- Save your change

Works for me to. Extracted file(d3d8.dll) to Gamefile D.W. Comp. Windows Vista SP2.

[Steiner]

Works perfectly. Thanks a lot!

[ehouileboss]

perfect

[hektor]

Perfect may not be the best way to describe it. The fix works, but it still has issues with a modern OS.

[Diva Vivy(She/They/OpinionsMine)]

works perfect

W10 users use the latest version 0.03 of 27.2.2022.

It fixes crashes when changing resolutions ingame and now supports windowed mode even on 32-bit desktops without compatibility mode in the Steam versions. So, no DXWnd needed to run DW in windowed mode. You can now just tick the usually greyed out "window" in the options, pick one of the 4 preset resolutions, done, as you also don't have to change the game's res in its ini-file, like you had to do with the initial version of Jiri's wrapper.

W10 Wrapper d3d8.dll version 0.03 by Jiri Dvorak [http//%3D+https]

If I can run DW in windowed mode without any third party programme, then you can do too. If you can't, the problem is on your end, because this d3d8.dll works. The problem can be your graphics accelerator/adapter setting, that can't handle 16-bit colour depth (like mine, but this wrapper is supposed to fix this), or your monitor or both. You could likewise set your adapter to 16-bit colour depth in W10, if you have even such an mode available (I don't). This would work as well, otherwise setting the game's exe-file to 16-bit colour depth (or even 8-bit for that matter) doesn't do ANYTHING, if your graphics card adapter can't handle it.

But this latest wrapper should fix this, too. Finally. It worked for me in 2019 with DXWnd, not anymore now though, but it works now even without DXWnd with the 2022-version of Jiri's d3d8-dll. If not, you gotta find a respective hardware solution for your machine to run DW. W10 is NOT the problem with this wrapper. Not even the Steam version is.

(although you don't need Steam to run DW, just download it, go to the Steam Apps folder, copy the complete Dangerous Waters folder, move it to another directory of your choice, and uninstall DW on Steam, it's what you can do with many Steam games, btw, but that's another story).

Edit:
For whatever reason that patronising cry-baby Steam might not want to open the link in your browser because it's "dangerous" (it's what I get when I click on it) ... Do with it whatever you want. You're old enough, otherwise you weren't allowed to be here.
Steam in its infinite wisdom knows more than all my security systems and all DW-players know altogether. Sure. It even dares to "autocorrect" my correctly spelled "programme" and instead gives me this imbecile illiterates-lingo from across the big pond. Unbefekkinglievable.

It worked for me but not the cursor line part, I had to keep it at YES and it worked

The mouse pointer was an issue for me too. Thanks for the info!

[nexen14]

i downloaded the file but in my game files i dont see the descripted settings

[writerrhino]

Worked for me, thanks very much!

I can open the game now that I've installed the wrapper, but all the UI elements are flickering. If I move the cursor the UI elements occasionally appear for a frame then suddenly disappear so I can't click anything. What can I do about this?
Edit: Resetting your Nvidia settings to default fixed it! I'm using Windows 11 and can run Dangerous Waters!
