Problems with Windows 10

[dduhe16]

Alright I have a problem. I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 recently and since then the game runs fine except the people and the overall gameplay is sluggish no matter the game speed setting. Any ideas on what to do? Please!

I am not using the commands lines:
-useddblit -blitmovietobackground
Because I am edited the settings file, so no point of using the same argument twice.

I just edited the file: MajXPrefs
It is on documents\My Games\MajestyHD
Double click on it and choose to open with notepad, the file has no extension, so it is impossible to do something wrong.

My monitor is an Full HD one resolution, so it is 1920x1080.
But I discovered that I can't see the bottom of my game window on that resolution and on full screen mode the game is on a 2x zoom that I can't see most of the interface!
So I edited to play on windows mode and on the highest resolution that fits my screen, 1920x1080 can't be done because it is no borderless mode and the border makes impossible to use spells.
Playing on 800x600 made the game sceen too small to have any good view of anything!
So I am using 1280x768.
It is not perfect like it was on windows 7, but is playable now.

My MajXPrefs is:
<DataGroups>
<PixWidth>1280</PixWidth>
<PixHeight>768</PixHeight>
<PixDepth>32</PixDepth>
<Windowed>1</Windowed>
<DebugFlags>0</DebugFlags>
<VSync>1</VSync>
<BlitMode>1</BlitMode>
<IntroVideo>0</IntroVideo>
</DataGroups>

I like to use vsync because it is an old game and very high frame rates sometimes makes old games do strange things. I really don't need more then 60 fps.
If you have a monitor with resolution that is not 1920x1080, post your MajXPrefs here, so other players will know what is the better resolution to play the game in that resolution.

i changed the majxprefs and my resolution. now Gold edition has more mouse lag, and HD is completely flipped out

[definitelynotpatrick]

can someone tell me how to change them back

[definitelynotpatrick]

(by flipped out, i mean theres extreme lag and the task bar is still at the bottom of the screen midgame)

You can always right click it and use properties>delete local content to uninstall it. Since it's majesty, it should only take 6 minutes to download a fresh copy on steam. This should reset majxprefs.

I use command lines to get startopia to run on my win8, but it runs perfectly on my win7. With majesty win8 can run gold edition natively (as long as I skip opening video) and win7 can run HD without the crazy slowdown.

I don't really like using steam's command lines, since running considerably older games from disc in dosbox is easier...

This worked for me

People who are having Win 10 issues can also try the beta. Look here for further details:

Remove any command line arguments you might have added when trying the beta.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've literally spent hours trying to get this freaking game to work. but that code finally did the trick.



I've been trying to get this to work on Gold edition because HD wouldnt start. but after the guy you were helping said "i used that to make it run at all on windows 7" i thought to pop it into the launch code for HD.


when i launced it, it still ran slow. but then i pressed the little Windows button on my keyboard that ussually opens up the start menu, then went back into majesty. TADA. no complicated download or update.

i just pasted that code in, launched and minimized majesty, then went back into it. hope this helps someone

I did this and only this, worked perfectly.
Set resolution to 1920x1080 in game, added the arguements, once the game loaded hit the Windows key, and then clicked back into the game.
Ran like the first day I played it!

[Muskelbiber]

for the 0xc0000022 bug

i made a clean installation of windows 10 now and after the installation of majesty hd it works perfectly. dont know why it is, but it works now for me.

This is funny: I am facing the same issues using Wine & Linux and now Windows 10.

The game worked fine under Win7x64. I guess it's just a horrible bug.

Edit:

I found a (at least for my personally) solution:

Go to %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\MajestyHD\

Open the file MajXPrefs.

Remove the content of the file and add this:

(Please ensure to enter your resolution)

<DataGroups>
<PixWidth>2560</PixWidth>
<PixHeight>1080</PixHeight>
<PixDepth>32</PixDepth>
<Windowed>0</Windowed>
<DebugFlags>1</DebugFlags>
<VSync>0</VSync>
<BlitMode>1</BlitMode>
<IntroVideo>0</IntroVideo>
</DataGroups>

Thanks for that! Fixed it for me :)

Worked for me too thank you!
seem the whole problem is this blit option, either by argument (-useddblit) or by config. take back your words DEV :p.

[Dorgath]

Which words are those, exactly?
