Got new computer with windows 10. Can't play the game
I just got a new laptop with windows 10. It says I can't play b/c of direct x or video card error. I know the game won't run on 10 anymore. Is there a way to fix this?

Is there a way to make the game run on 10 or I have to revert back to windows 7 or 8.

I don't know why your's won't I'm running fine on Win 10 64 bit. Are you using a dedicated gpu like a graphics card or the integrated one on your cpu?

I run this game perfectly fine on Windows 10. If you're like me, and you try to launch the game from a previous install, it will indeed not work. You need to do the following:

First go into the folder DirectX and run DXSetup.exe. Then once done, make sure you start the game at least once through the steam library and choose support info. It should open a webpage. Close it. The game should now run fine.

right click the steam icon > right click "steam > choose "run as administrator" ... then click "play" from the steam window ... this should launch the game without problems :steamhappy:
