Zeus + Poseidon NO FUNCIONA

[mati.sanseba]

Hola. Hoy me compre el juego ya que me recuerda mucho mi infancia. me ♥♥♥♥ muy triste al querer ejecutarlo y ver que no funciona. Después de instalarlo quiero ejecutar el juego desde Steam pero no arranca. La pantalla se pone toda oscura, va y viene varias veces al escritorio donde puedo ver la app de Steam con el cartel de "Detener"...eso me da la pauta de que el juego esta en ejecución, pero finalmente el cartel cambia a "jugar" como si nunca se hubiera ejecutado. No tira ningún error...simplemente no arranca.
Ya intente haciendo una reistalación, apagando la PC e incluso ejecutando como si administrador...nada de esto resulto.
Si alguien me puede dar una mano se lo voy a agradecer...la verdad es que me hacia mucha ilusión jugar este clásico

Try right clicking on the .EXE, Properties
"Run as Admin" + "Windows98/XP Compatibility" (+ "Disable Scaling" + "Color Rendering 16bit")

When the Game starts for the 1st time, it tries to run in full screen (not windowed) mode at a resolution of 800x600.
Some modern graphics cards and monitors don't like this.
(modern hardware often the minimum supported resolution is 1024x768)
You can only change these settings from the Mission Menu, but it does not reach it.

The Game saves all settings in the .INF binary file.
There are special .INF sets for changing Game settings bypassing the Menu.
"Display option patcher scripts"

To run Windowed Mode, it is very important:
1) Color Rendering equal 16bit;
2) Scaling equal 100%;

For Windows 10, it is possible to set options only for the Game
(to avoid changes to the entire System)
Right click on the .EXE
Properties =>Compatibility =>LowColorMode =>16bit
Properties =>Compatibility =>HighDPISettings
check the box OverrideScalingBehaviour and "Application"

For Windows 7, you will have to set options of the entire System
Start =>ControlPanel =>Screen =>Resolution =>AdvancedSettings =>Monitor =>Color Quality =>16bit
Start =>ControlPanel =>Screen =>EaseScreenReader =>Small-100%

Overlays are known to interfere with the Game
Disable Overlays or close these programs:
- AMD GPU (delete GPU gaming profile)
- Nvidia GPU (GeForce Experience, Shadowplay as Share)
- AfterBurner, RivaTuner
- Origin (evil, 100%)
- Discord, Skype
- Windows Xbox
- Steam? (Steam overlay doesn't seem to interfere)
- other

Shadowplay, known as Share, must be disabled in the GeForce Experience Settings Panel.
Closing the process in Task Manager will not disable Shadowplay!

Try renaming the "/BINKS" folder
Sometimes the Game works, but it crashes when try to play Video.

Need to install DirectX 9.0c on the system
DirectX 9.0 with Runtime Pack (June 2010)
