Windows 10 compatibility

Hello,

I can't seem to get this game to work in Windows 10. Is there a patch?

what game?

F-16 Multirole Fighter.

If the game crashes immediately upon pressing "Play" on Steam, have a look at enabling DirectPlay. NOTE: the feature is pre-installed on Windows 10 systems, and just needs to be enabled:

After launching the game (at the intro), if you are met with a dialog box stating "System context dumped to file _SYSDUMP" ("Dump Information = "Can't load "......\steam\steamapps\common\f-16 multirole fighter\f16.map"") simply change the compatibility setting (How to[support.microsoft.com]) of the main game executable (F16.exe) to an older OS (such as Windows XP Service Pack 3) to get the game running.

If you're still interested in playing the game - Hope it helps :)

I did that and all it does is when you install is try and update it does then goes into download paused mode and won't play

I am facing the same issue and compatibility mode switchovers are not helping at all. Direct play is also enabled.

Try lowering the resolutions to 1600x900 or 1280x768 in addtion to the compatibility.
This game was mad to work in WIN98 using graphics from 600x400 for the bink(I'm assuming it is a bink vid), and 1024x768 max for the game itself. The game may not be able to do the switch between resolutions. This is common in older games of that time period. I did this for my WIN10 OS drive, and it working..
