For me the problem was the 144hz monitor. Changed to 60hz and works.

only for those, for whom it does not crash. For me it was crashing the second the process was started. The steps from the link I've shared helped.

Hello,
I finally got the game to run under Windows 10.
If you look at the file setup.ini that Handersson told you to create the resolution is
1600 by 1280. If your desktop resolution is less, the game will NOT go to that resolution, even though it's windowed. Instead, it will simply exit.
So create the setup.ini file, repeated here for you:

; path to registry key with lang id (used if lang NOT defined)
; this key MUST be writed to registry by installer
;reglang = "SOFTWARE\Frogwares\sh6"

and put it in the game save folder.
That folder, however, is
C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\frogwares\Dracula. Love Kills Collector's Edition

not where he said before.

Also, before you play, set the desktop resolution to 1600 by 1280 and don't change the game settings. Leave it as windowed as well.

Also, any other frogware games that do similar, try this with as well.

Of course, when finished playing, set the video desktop resolution back to what it was before
