working windows 10 rainbow six 98/roguespear

[Volcano]

before we get started do this
https://support.ubisoft.com/en-gb/Faqs/000027439/Activate-DirectPlay-or-DirectDraw-Direct-3D-on-Windows-10

Fullscreen-
tbh don't use fullscreen, use windowed or borderless you'll have less issues
download the ddraw linked here
ddrawcompat [github.com]
extract it to the roguespear.exe location
The compatibility settings I use are: run as windows 98,16bit,run as admin
In the main folder for RS you'll find a file called "Switch to 1360x1024" right click edit it and change default values to these ones instead
"FullScreen"="TRUE"
"VideoResolution"="1920x1080" (or your maximum resolution)

this should allow you to launch in fullscreen and select your desired resolution from the video screen
you cant alt tab safely in fullscreen without the game crashing or black screening upon tabbing back in

windowed
do the above up to the registry step
fullscreen FALSE
VideoResolution 1600x900

borderless windowed
Set the game to run in windowed mentioned above
download this Borderless-Gaming [github.com]
launch the program,launch RS, alt tab back to the program and find RS in list of applications and press the right arrow and move it over to favorites.
alt tab back to RS and if it doesn't work straight away just relaunch the game
from there go to the graphics menu and change to resolution you want to use

doing this will allow you have fast loads and be fullscreen when you play. the menu sections and all that will still be small

unlike R6 you cant do incremental changes but RS doesn't crash when out of bounds at max resolution. in window mode you won't have slow loading

cap your frame rate again due to AI issues and it should help the slow 3rd person camera
I hope this helps you, if not show me what errors show up in the rommel.log located in the roguespear.exe folder and maybe i can help fix the issue.

i seem to remember folks having sensitivity issues despite changing the game setting. lower your DPI to something around 400


Now the fix for Rainbow SIx 1998 is actually the all in one installer thats been very recently put out.

I don't think Im allowed to post it here though since I've been told not to on other sites but if you come to discord we can provide better tech support and even play some matches on voobly or gamerranger
