How to get it to run on windows 10?

[SpaghEddie]

I cant seem to get the game to run and i really want to play it any suggestions?

[omfgthepizzaman]

Same. Gets past the splash screens and then the screen refreshes a couple of times on the "create a profile" screen and then crashes to desktop.
Any help?

Same problem when I just tried to run this.
Core-i5 4460 3.2Ghz
Asus R9 270X 2 GB
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 16 GB
Only Running Steam, AMD Radeon Catalyst, and AMD Raptr in the background w/ game tracking.

Any help would be great, people.

So I got it running on Windows 10 about a week back, with the same rig specs as listed earlier. Here's what I did.

1. go to the Main Game Folder and you should see the application executable, i.e eib.exe
2. Right click, select properties, and then compatability mode tab.
3. Set compatablity mode to Windows 8 (or anything above).
4. I also set "run as Administrator" to on. These basic steps should be enought to run the game without any further problems
5. Finally, the last two things I did is I set OpenGL triple Buffering to on and limit frame rate target control to 60 fps through the AMD Radeon Control Center options for this game specifically. These are additional steps, Im not sure neither saying that these are absolutely necessary. Game should run fine with just the Compatablity mode settings switched on.

One last odd thing I encountered is that when the game launches, Steam overlay appears to be disabled or unable to pop up as regular via Shift-Tab. Too bad, as this means I couldn't control the game via Steam Controller.

Khanorama what if I were to tell you that I did everything you said up to the point where you can set your compatibility , I get no listing to what compatibility i Can choose

Go to steam - steamapps - common - Brothers in Arms, right click to run as administrator.

Done that , graphics still bug out , funny thing is this never happened on my windows 8.1 laptop but it does for my better windows 10 laptop

Im not sure what is happening here. Most Win 10 PC's can run both EiB and RtH30 on maximum graphics with no issues. Perhaps its a Hardware Compatibility Issue?

[Cynder]

idk , the hardware on my previous laptop was more ♥♥♥♥ , but its possible , but its still disapointing how I can only play the third BIA game but not the first 2 games

For graphical crashes and the dreaded "Application has been blocked from accessing the graphics hardware" message:

Right click the game and select the "Local Files" tab. Click "Browse Local Files". Right click and Edit "EIB.INI". Control-F to find "StartupFullscreen=True" and change it to "StartupFullscreen=False". Save the file. Brothers in Arms will now run in windowed mode without crashing.

It's not as good as Full Screen mode, but as none of the various methods I found using Google worked, it's a lot better than nothing. This fix probably would have worked on my Retail copy of BIA as well, but I bought the Steam version in an attempt to fix exactly this issue. Oh, well.

This fix also works for Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30. The only difference is that you edit "BIA.INI" instead.

For me, game worked 0 issues out of the box as for running without glitches.
Just bought it today.
Runs in fullscreen, and can even alt tab out of game without issues.
Only had terrible FOV on my 21:9.
Changed it too 98 FOV in the ini files, forced AFx16, 4X Super Sampling, SweetFX and SMAA on my R5 1600 and R9 Fury X rig running Win 10.

Game even supoorts my custom resolution of 3840x1600 and above 60hz.

[Cynder]

odd , I can run it but the textures are all different coloured blocks , not my Laptop cause I had a Hp2000 and well that is 10x worse then what i have currently

[the Winter Warlock]

I don't even have the exe for the game, but the game obviously is in my account

[Ske7chE]

Yeah I got the same problem as @10FootSchlong lmao done everything everyone has said. Hells Highway works perfect for me but the first 2 don't work at all. Textures bug out and before I even get in the game audio starts repeating and it doesn't even get me in game because it's already crashed by then.

[Cynder]

sad part is. Not even the Devs of the game know how to fix it

[LostHisHardcore]

I had to set the ini file setting mentioned above to run in a window and set compatibility on eib.exe to winxp service pack 2 for it to work. I use Borderless gaming to make the window fullscreen.
Running win 10, i5 2500k and an amd 390
