Crashing on Windows 10

[Miseryguts]

Just upgraded to Windows 10 & now the game crashes when I try to launch, it's the only game in my library that does this anyone know what is going on?

[anne]

i compared teh compat.cfg file between bejeweled 3 and bejeweled twist... they are different.
i made a small incorrect change in that file and so long as i have the compat settings that were mntioned earlier now its running... i am using win 10, 64bit and have an intel graphics card...

Just found a solution!
Still doesn't fix the fancy 3D acceleration but the game at least runs!

Go into the BejeweledTwist.exe file properties and under compatibilty enable:
Run in compatibility mode for: Windows Vista
Run in 640x480 Res
Disable display scaling

Hope that works for you guys!

Listen to this guy! he know's what he's talking about, i just tried it and it works!

=============================================================

The above instructions worked for me. However, I did not have to implement all of these changes to be able to run BJ Twist. So experiment with your system and see what works.

Young: If you tried to run the .exe directly, then you will get the error after these changes. Try running it from the overlay and see what happens.
My BJT options are currently set like this:

Windows 7
640x480 resolution

and that's it.
My system is:

W10 Pro
AMD Phenom II Processor 2.8 ghrz.
8gb RAM
64bit
Nvidia GTX 660


UPDATE: After some more testing, it seems like the 640x480 option is the only thing keeping it from running, on my system anyway.

I don't have the Steam version I have the CD one, and it only worked once

it stopped working for me the second time i ran it, then i selected the 640x480 option and it worked on my system

I'll reinstall the demo and see what happens.

i can play Bejeweled Twist, with "3D accleration", on Windows 10 x64.
Please try "Nvidia Driver Version 359.06 - WHQL".

Do Intel drivers (I have) and Nvidia drivers (I don't have) work together?

[Infinite Fury]

All my posts are now considered a false alarm. BJT works fine W/O Compatibility on my machine.

[-=๖CŽﮔ=- ℓιℓ sqυιɗ]

This Fix by SSTSylvain about the Version 359.06 worked perfectly for me. Since I mostly play TF2 and CS:GO, and don`t play those new AAA Titles, I see no need to keep updating my Graphics Card`s Driver. However, for those that do need to keep updating it... I think It`ll be hard to get a solution that Enables 3D Acceleration and, with that, the Sweet 1920x1200 Resolution and 100 FPS.

Search Up on Youtube "How to get 3D accel on Steam Bejeweled twist" Someone has a vid of how to make it have all the fancy graphics and also fixes the game to run properly, you need to replace the Steam BejeweledTwist.exe with the Patch's version and replce the compat.cfg also so it recognizes newer graphics cards as compatible for 3D accel

Do you have a direct link to that video?

Sadly, no, though I do know how to fix the error. When you find the video, download the files in the desc. You need to go to properties and click "Browse Local files". After downloading the files, replace the Steam provided .exe with the patches' .exe. Delete the compat.cfg provided with Steam and replace it with the patches' .cfg (This is so the game will recognize your graphics card allowing for Direct3D and DirectDraw to be used). It fixes the game too if it crashes, so you can play the game just fine AND with 1920x1080 resolution and DirectX10 enhancements compared to normal Software

It's a really great fix for 3D Acceleration.

[R0gu3Sentin3l]

call me slightly obsessed with 3d acceleration (and a bit late to the party for this thread), but i continually tested and eventually found a way to actually run bejeweled twist WITH 3d acceleration. note that i have only tested this on one computer (Acer Aspire F15 laptop with i5-6200U 2.3gHz CPU, 8GB DDR3 RAM and NVIDIA 920M 2GB GPU), and that none of the above solutions worked for me.

i found that my integrated card (intel 520) didnt have enough VRAM according to bejeweled (discrete GPU), but the NVIDIA card would. when i tried to run with graphics card from the context menu, it would just spawn another application to run on integrated. i eventually found that by disabling my integrated graphics card (using devmgmt.msc) and running bejeweled, i would be able to run it AND enable 3d acceleration, but having all other applications running on it at once slowed it down, and caused framerate issue (cause: probably Windows explorer + lower end GPU)

ANYWAYS after all this i found that by having a batch file disable the integrated card (using a nifty command line program called devmanview -> http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/device_manager_view.html ), then start bejeweled, wait 5 seconds then re-enable the intel card (see batch code below), everything BUT bejeweled would go back to integrated and i could run BT fine on normal resolution and 3d acceleration enabled, with no framerate issues

i do realise that this may only work on similar hardware to mine, but this is another potential fix. i would also like to point out that i have a physical (CD) copy of the game, and that no compatibility settings needed to be altered for this to work for me.

BATCH CODE (change locations of devmanview.exe and BejeweledTwist.exe as required):
==================================================================

@echo off
C:\BTF\devmanview.exe /disable "Intel(R) HD Graphics 520"
start "" /D "C:\Program Files (x86)\PopCap Games\Bejeweled Twist\" /MAX /NORMAL BejeweledTwist.exe
timeout /t 5
C:\BTF\devmanview.exe /enable "Intel(R) HD Graphics 520"
exit

Does not work at all on Windows 10 x64, On Lauche I mmediately get a "FATAL ERROR" dialog saying "invalid command line parameter: -changedir"
And the game immediately stops.
