Rogue Spear working on Windows 10?

[HexeR]

I know this isn't exactly Rainbow Six 3 related, but I assume it's still generally related because of the franchise.

Has anyone gotten Rogue Spear to work on windows 10? I can manage to get it to the menu screen by dumping the D3Dlmm.dll and DDraw.dll files from a voodoo graphics card wrapper into the Rogue Spear directory, but the text is beyond ♥♥♥♥ed up, it's completely unreadable.

Has anyone been able to get the actual game running AT ALL under Windows 10? It worked for me on Windows 7, so I'm wondering what the problem is for W10.

Are you running it in compatability mode? I would try running it in a lower color setting, windowed, and in compatability. I don't own it any more so I can't tinker to get it to work sadly but if you can, look into Vbox it's a free and open source emulation tool that can run Win XP which I had when I played Rogue Spear. I think you still had to run it in compatability though.

Whenever I run it in compatibility mode for anything I always get a generic 0x000142 something something error. And it's only when I activate compatibility mode.

Installed it again last night, works perfectly for me on Windows 10. Have the latest NVIDIA drivers loaded on my side. No flickering, no glitches, multiplayer also works fine :)

PS: Not using compatibility mode either

I think it doesnt work in 64bit Win10 as easily as it might on 32bit Win10. I got it working on 64bit Win10 with the help of a registry editor patch that I found online, but it sucks because you gotta run the game in windowed mode at the lowest resolution possible.
This wrapper fix sounds interesting, maybe there is a way to get the text to be clear. If you want try the registry patch --> http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Tom_Clancy%27s_Rainbow_Six:_Rogue_Spear#Windows_10_crash_at_Start-Up

I have Win 10 x64 and I didn't require any registry patches of any sort. Can play the game full screen and fullest details without any problems.

Working like a charm on Windows 10 64-bit, AMD R9 280. It worked great on Windows 8.1, and still works today. Only Rainbow Six 1 and Ghost Recon give me issues, and that's ATi problems in specific.

Try reinstalling redistributables. I had a very similar text problem with the original Killing Floor that reinstalling DX9 stuff fixed.

Do you know which redistributables I would need for RS Rogue Spear?

It should use the same ones, probably all under _commonredist or something like that.

If I remember correctly, the EXE for Rogue Spear is the same as Raven Shield but with a parameter. I'll check later for you.

Keep in mind, it may look a bit different since I have it on UPlay.

Man i honestly think these dude are trolling. If the game doesnt work on some x64 machines i dont see how it would magically work in others. and I also dont see how this dude would have the game on uplay if it isnt even available on uplay.

Either that or they have x86 windows 10 but they are too nub to really know the difference. IDK.

If they provided an actual explination I would believe it but this wishi-washi ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of "it works like nothing" "I own it on Uplay" stuff is just too uninformative and uncredible.

I recommend cutting this blind bat chase they are putting you on and just Googling "PC gaming wiki" and going to the Rogue spear page for an actual solution.

LOL, whatever dude.

I would go as far to take some screenshots and even make a video if you don't believe me, but with that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ attitude of yours, it's just not worth it.

I'm off to enjoy the game flawless on my Win 10 x64 installation without the need of some noob ass "PC Gaming Wiki" solution to play my game.

Cheers

PCGW is actually a very helpful site, from my experience, but if you're one of very few people with an issue or it's a new problem, you probably won't see a proper fix there for a while.

It took me a minute to get this running, man it's been so long... I've tried all the compatibility settings, registry hacks in the book and couldn't get it to run.

Here's how I got this amazing old school game to run on my Windows 10:

This uses a virtual machine, so if your not game for that, then I don't know. If you're like me, it feels like the only option.

I have an ISO of my original game disk.

I installed VirtualBox [www.virtualbox.org] , then scoped this article which will instructs you on running Windows XP for free in a virtual environment [lifehacker.com]

I realized after I got the virtual XP running, I needed to Insert Guest Additions CD [www.howtogeek.com] to enable folder sharing. Also had to tweak some network settings [www.sevenforums.com] to get the internet to work.

Once I got the internet to work in the virtual machine, and a folder shared, I got the ISO onto the virtual machine, installed Daemon Tools, mounted the ISO, installed it, and viola. It works like a charm.

[BobbyBadBoy]

You dont need virtual machines. I found a solution and posted it on pcgamingwiki. It involves the use of a software called Wine for windows which basically converts directdraw to opengl.

I have installed rogue spear with the urban add on. I have windows 10 64 bit with a nvidia card. I have some wall issues here and there.

Ghost recon works on steam for me. Oddly there was a point shortly after upgrading from windows 7 where some games didn't work. After several months the games magically worked without me having to do anything. I have several dosbox games that didn't work at first then suddenly worked out the blue. I'm thinking M$ must be secretly pushing compatibility updates without saying it. Windows 10 seems a lot more friendlier in old games than it once did.

I'll try reinstalling it.

What graphics card you have?
