Game not running on windows 10.

[Cryodragonbane]

So I dont know if this has been posted before but I am having issues trying to get this computer to run on windows 10. I dont know if any others have had the issue. I have tried running it in compatibility mode with windows 7 but I have no luck. can anyone help?

I had a lot of problems and googled numerous things about this game and after 2-3 hours of struggle I made it work perfectly. I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit so I'm 99.99% sure that this will work for you too:

-don't put compatibility mode in any of those .exe files of the game, it's not necessary
-in the launcher (when you click to play the game) go to settings and do this:

-go to tab "General" and uncheck "Active" where it says "Frame Rate Compression"
-in your graphics settings put everything on Max settings, but uncheck "Overlay Mixer" if you have any problems

The game should run fine for you now.

Also to change the aspect ratio go to upper right corner in graphics options where it says "Monitor Aspect". I have a 16:9 so I put it to 1.78. If you have diferent just put other value until you see that Lara "looks tall" in game and not compressed :P

Strange. Windows 10 is the only system I had problem on with this game. It worked on XP back in the day and on Windows 7 without any problems when I played it couple of years ago on CD. Try some of these links for more help or google more about "angel of darkness crashes on launch":

On the second link it says this:

"Game doesn't start. Black screen after Eidos Logo.

Check USB devices. Unplug unnecessary USB devices like cameras, scanners, printers etc. Go to TRAOD Settings and see if there are any USB devices listed that are not game related and disable them. There have been reports of settings displaying multiple keyboards. Turn all off except one. "

Try that first.

It says only if you have multiple keyboards or mice on your PC:

"Check USB devices. Unplug unnecessary USB devices like cameras, scanners, printers etc. Go to TRAOD Settings and see if there are any USB devices listed that are not game related and disable them. There have been reports of settings displaying multiple keyboards. Turn all off except one."

Go to control panel and disable unnecesarry USB devices then.
