Windows 10 games running and not

[massimo-ecs]

Hi all,

i'm testing games with Windows 10 Preview on an Acer laptop V3 571 G (8GB ram, Core I5 Intel HD graphics 4000 + Nvidia GT 630 M), insider preview build 10130

Games tested 100% working:

amnesia the dark descent
battle group 2
cogs
command and conquer 3 kane's wrath
command and conquer 3 tiberium wars
dear eshter
defense grid
defense grid 2
defense technica
exodus from the earth
galcon fusion
mars colony: challenger
naval warfare (with disable high DPI in compatibility mode, same as on Windows7)
sanctum
sanctum 2
shadowgrounds
sin of a solar empire rebellion
sol survivor
space rangers HD: A War Apart
stalker clear sky
starlite: astronaut rescue
wolfenstein


Do not even start anymore: :-(

project freedom
return to castle wolfenstein
supreme commander


Problematic (start, but have problems):

Bullet candy (mouse pointer don't work)
Supreme Commander 2 (start in /safemode, disable secondary adapter and it works)

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
RAM: 16gb Corsair DDR3-1333
MBD: MSI 870A-G54
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6770
OS: Windows 10

All games were run using 1920x1080 resolution.

Supreme Commander 2 runs fine w/ all the eye-candy enabled (solo games run for > 12-hrs)
Supreme Commander consistently crashes mid-game (any fix?)
Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance consistently crashes mid-game (any fix?)

Mabye your processor is a bottleneck. This game is REALLY SUPER CPU intensive, and FA also favors a few really powerful cores over a bunch of decent cores.
Also, any error messages, or are you getting a grey screen?
Also, check your ram utilization durring gameplay. I think there might be a slight memory leak. under certain cicumstaces. (this is all for FA, by the way. I stoped playing the original Supcom onec I realized how much better FA is.)

Actually it only runs on a single core.

However a slow cpu would not cause the game to crash anyway, it will simply slow down, if its crashing something else is going on.

As both supcom and fa are crashing mid-games the both use the same engine, so that does suggest and issue on the users end somewhere.

Have you tried full reinstalls? updates drivers? ran as admin? tried compatability modes?

To be honest your best starting a seperate thread, as your issue has nothing to do with the op's post.

RTCW and SupCom1 runs fine on most Win10 PC's last time i was checked. so its must be something PC-specific, rather than Windows-version-specific.

SupCom2 runs great, just not sure why SupCom1 isn't. Previous replies indicated possible CPU bottleneck; but the min requirements for the game is 1.8GHz w/ 512mb RAM. Even if the game doesn't take advantage of multi-threading, this processor (albeit not the best) is more than suitable. Thanks for the reply.

SupCom1 and SupCom2 runs fine in W10. both 10240 and 10586 builds are okay(not tested on Redstone builds any games, yet). its perhaps GPU drivers-specific
no need for "compatibility mode" or other tweaks, necesary for previous WIndows versions. just make sure that you msvc 2k8(installed with game or updated Up2 or MSFC versions) runtimes and directx installations - are okay.
do it runs WITHOUT gpu drivers(uninstalled with reboot)? if so - thats GPu driver issue, no windows and usually that was ~ tweakable in driver options.

im "happy "by default", eg born that way and thus don't need "further customisations".

My Supreme Commander 2 isn't working with Windows 10 either, it boots up, then goes through the opening credits and then the screen just goes black.

Then go onto the supreme commander 2 forums, check out the various fixes, there are quite a few posts regarding this, if you still cannot get it running, post a new thread in the supreme commander 2 forums listing both your specs and everything you have tried in order to get the game working and we can possibly suggest some fixes you may not have tried.

The game runs fine in Windows 10, so its something on your side. one of the fixes should get it working.

so far i had only 3 confirmed issues with SC. both with "non-consumer versions" of it, eg "IoT", Chinese "Starter"/"Single Language" fork(kinda bogus thing, but quite fast/small) and "tweaked"(owners bough NTLite apparently) "N" version of "Proffesional" Win10.
with untouched(ADK impact was marginal. same bout integrated hotfixes. and in 75% cases - drivers too. except intel drivers, sometimes)Windows10 its works fine and dandy, unless somethin Else, installed on same PC - obstructed with. its not always malware or something badass/evil, sometimes just "not really well-made software" do such things.

so here my advice:
1. create separate "restore point" in you ("sysdm.cpl" in Win+R) "system protection tab".
2. prepare (image or medium) Win10. mount it and then copy "install.wim" file from it to say "C:\mywindows" folder.
3. run from command line sequentally(you may make .bat or .cmd file if you wish. they don't run asynchroniously hopefuly ;) things like:
3a: "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore"
3b: "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup"
3c: "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:C:\mywindows\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess
4d: "sfc.exe /scannow"
all w/o quotes of course. if its not helps - try repeat within "Safe mode"
you can select it by holding Shiflt while clicking "Reboot" key during rebooting OS or (simply put "bcdedit.exe /set bootmenupolicy legacy" w/o quotes to return back F8 hotkey to pick that anytime else).
if thats not helps Even in "Safe mode" try repair it (similarly)in Olffline mode, eg loading in "Repair mode" from your Windows installation media(if you use OEM version and lack medium - you may build recovery medium it according to isntruction from MS site or download full distro in some cases(if you had proper S/N in package)).
if you had access to one of Microsoft Desktop OPtimisation Packs(pretty pricy thing i had to admint) you may prefer to use Microsoft DaRT -built image instead(earlier(before Sysintenals aquisition)versions was known as "ERD Commander") for same purposes.


or just go "simple way" - install Windows atop installed one. same version - wouldn't ruin anything in. few options/tweaks may reset, but generally that may work for you better than mess above i suggested.

Alright my brother helped me and I got it to work. I have to open it without using steam and then in windowed mode because I have a duel graphics card and it does not register or recognize or what ever the dedicated graphics card. I have that problem with a lot of games its kinda annoying but what ever.
