Some things you should know about how the game runs...

[Scott Maus]

The game requires no compatibilty options and runs fine on windows 10 with some issues pertaining to the scaling options. (Increasing the size of text and apps, the same problem minecraft has.)

This game runs well at 1920x1080 but does not seem to like 1366x768 (my own experience. I could get it to run at 1080p but it would crash constantly at 1366x768)

It has built-in widescreen support sans the menus. Unless Shadowman is absurdly thin and I don't know about it.

The game's AI and animations only function properly at 30fps. So, you'll need to frame limit it.
At higher framerates, the enemies attacks have absurdly low cooldowns and they can tear you to shreds in a matter of seconds and animations also will run far too quickly. It's also very difficult to control Shadowman with higher framerates.

It accepts DirectInput gamepads but not Xinput. Keyboard controls (mouse can't be used) are a bit awkward but totally servicable. If you want to use your Xinput gamepads you'll have to get something like Xpadder or JoytoKey.

I'm playing with only the keyboard. It felt sort of weird the first five minutes, but now I'm a master at it. Or should I say, a lord of Deadside at it? ;)

Aestherus..Are you able to use a gamepad? I' ve tried with my xbox360 controller but it doesn't work despite it is detected by windows 10 perfectly and I also noticed the mouse is completely off ( ?) ...Can you help with it?

[Scott Maus]

It only natively accepts DirectInput controllers. Xinput controllers like the Xbox 360 controller can't be used with this game. You can get something like JoytoKey or Xpadder though.

1366x768 definitely not run here, I've tried numerous fixes and nothing worked. I even gave up trying, which is a shame because this game is amazing.

[Scott Maus]

Switching to a 1080p monitor was pretty much the only thing I tried that got this game to work.

Windows 8.1?

[M E G A D E T H]

wait, are you guys saying playing with keyboard and mouse isn't feasible?? just bought the game on sale

[Scott Maus]

That's not what I said. The game plays with keyboard only, no mouse. It's a bit awkward but totally usable.

[Scott Maus]

Not sure about 8.1, but I do use 10, which seems to be very similar.

darn... i have a thread i created asking for help on how to play with KB and mouse.. but i guess ill just play it w/kb only then.

[Scott Maus]

Sorry :P
It's an old game. The mouse wouldn't be much use really since the camera only moves horizontally and is controlled with keys.

i asked on the GoG forum as well,.. but thanks for teh quick replies.
