Falcon 4.0 Message: "Error: 71 C:\falcon4\Graphics\DDStuff\Device.cpp" (fixed)

[_nico86]

I've tried the game after the patch who fixed the CD problem. As soon I started the game, the error posted in the title appeared.
How I fixed it:
-Right click Falcon on the library.
-Go to properties -> Local files -> Browse local files
-In the folder look for "Falcon 4.0.exe"
-Right click on it -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Windows 7 compatibility (with other compatibilities the game worked laggy)

In the game, in the graphics settings, select direct 3D for better graphics.

I hope this helps someone.
Good luck.

Unfortunately this didn't work for me and the game still throws the same error (Win11).

So, looking around I got the game to run:

1. Added a custom resolution to Nvidia Control Panel (640x480)

2. Set compatibility for falcon4.exe for WindowsXP Service Pack 2.

Hope it'll help someone else!
