There is a workaround for Windows 7

I'll jsut copy paste it here. Try this:

1) Remove their DD Wrapper stuff. It's worthless (ddraw.dll and acfjkasf something.cfg)
2) Acquire DxWnd ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/files/Latest%20build/ )
3) Add a new thing to DxWnd
4) I use the following setttings and it seemed to run fine:

Hook Enabled, Run in Window, Hook All DLLs, Remap Client Rect,
Video: Fix Window Frame Style
Under input: Window Frame Compensation
DirectX: Automatic

5) Do not use any windows compatability settings.
6) Go to war to your hearts content.


But it didn´t work for me on windows 10, maybe I make a mistake, so try it out.

Thanks Mediennerd! It works with Windows 10, but you need to run DxWnd as an administrator.

The game probably runs too fast now and mouse input is not registered, so do the following

1) Input > Cursor handling: Disable "Correct mouse position"
2) Timing > Frame per Second: Check "Limit", Check "Skip", set "delay (msec)" to 50.
3) Timing > System speed: Check "CPU slow down", Check "CPU max usage", set "ratio 1:" to 2.


Tested with DxWnd v2.03.89.

Can confirm this works for Windows 11 as well.

Try this:

1) Remove their DD Wrapper stuff (ddraw.dll and the config data axxx.cfg)
2) Download the last DxWnd ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/files/Latest%20build/ )
3) Extract the archive and copy the content from folder to the game directory
4) legion.exe must run as administrator
4) Do not use any windows comparability settings.
5) Play

Work with the last updates from Windows 11 at resolution 4k
Have a great day!
