DirectDraw Compatibility Tool - you can run old games on win 7

[Popper]

*** DirectDraw Compatibility Tool ***

quote from the words of the author Utilities "The solution is to amend the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ DirectDraw \ Compatibility \ data on the game exe problem, then Windows starts to relate to a game in a special way"

this is the only utility window - http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/crappybitter/18011946/30498/30498_original.jpg
One Russian guy. created a small utility. which adds to the registry settings needed to run the game. only need to specify the address of the .exe file of the game. http://crappybitter.livejournal.com/29921.html

the download link in the native developer blog does not work. I downloaded the utility with another resource
!!! attention !!! Russian language website.
you can download it here - http://www.old-games.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=42704


All you need to do - download archive file.
(!!! download link !!!)

open it, run the utility, specify the address of her "***\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout\falloutw.exe" file in the game directory Steam.
And press on the center button. That's it! Enjoy the game!

Thanks!

This worked for me. It's disappointing that Steam would sell a game that didn't install and work right away.

[Mantis-Cat]

thats all old games, it would install and work if you had an old computer, if steam only sold games compatible with every single machine then they wouldnt sell any games at all.

[Crossy]

[Todalf]

[Forget Anamnesis]

Thanks so much. I just spent five bucks on the bundle with FO1, FO2, and FOT ...and I thought it was wasted. Works great,

[Badhabbit]

Same here, It fixed the color issues but the screen still goes to black.

I fixed the issue - I needed to set my Radeon up with a Preset with all the card's settings reduced to the minimum or Use Application Settings, and it is fixed.

It is odd that this is not posted ANYWHERE on the internet.

:(

Try creating a preset for it at lowest possible settings.
