Can't open the game

[N1ckson]

After installing the game on my new computer I tried to launch it but it stays white screen or the game closes and it pop back to desktopbackground..
I played this game on my old computer for like 19h and wanted to go further.
Any ideas to solve this please ?
Also the game is installed on the same Drive that my steam is installed on.

There's some things to try in a guide, and a post a few below this that has a fair bit of info on what might be the problem. Could be one of a few different things.

Suggestions are generally editing .cfg to run in window, setting various compatibility modes ( (while that works for some people, I don't that that has ever worked for me with any software at all), and launching the .exe directly, not through Steam launcher.

The post a few down also has something about running DGVoodoo and some .dll file to fix a DirectInput problem.

If that doesn't work, then the only other thing I could suggest is maybe hunting down an older Windows installer (maybe XP or something) and running it in a VM? Might even be possible to copy the directory straight across to the VM installation. I dunno.

It's one of those very old titles that can be temperamental. I had it running on an older computer, using instructions I found in this forum, then later tried to run it on that same computer and had no luck at all. Just kept getting the JCM error. Installing now on a different computer to see what happens.

Same here , can't run on new systems with newer windows, no warnings about this makes me feel like this is a scam.

Actually i bought a new laptop this year and I could open it on the new windows 11 so i tried installing it back on desktop also and 1 out of 10 the game does open.
I played and finished the game. Hopefully it works for you too.
