Won't play on Windows 10

[dac63]

Galactic Civilizations II installed okay on my system and the intro screen loads, but when I hit the play button it drops back to Desktop and you can't bring the game back up.

Do I need a driver or something, I know it did some Direct X install when the game installed. I also got a message that it may not run properly because my system is too old. I'm on a 2014 Acer so I don't think that's it.

Try run it as administrator. You need to do this with all games with win 10.

I also get the "my system is too old message" which happens for me before the intro screen, I click OK to get rid of the warning and everything runs just fine from then on in. I'm also on W10.

Galactic Civilizations III was on sale over the holidays so I bought that as well and it works fine. Then I found Endless Space so I'm not even playing GC III. Maybe I'll get back to them some other time.

No you don't !! I don't do that with any of my games on Windows 10 and they all launch and work perfectly

I have Windows 10 Pro and the game runs fine and no need to run as administrator,

You've got Windows 10, the jokes on you. Kappa
