I may be wrong but just offering up a thought.  I remember there was some stutter before some of the later MVP patches fixed that issue.  I thought the no-cd option was created before the patches and that could be the reason for the stutter returning since this seems to be the only way to play MVP currently on Windows 10.

I have a problem running TiT with Windows 10, I got this message "Subscript used with non-Array variable", what is that?

Were you able to fix it?  I have the same thing on windows 8.1 when I install something with TiT..

 

Edit**  Nevermind, if you have this problem with 8.1, just set compatibility mode for xp srv pack 3, it works fine.. expert doesnt work, but the basic does.

Hi

II have recently upgraded to Windows 10 and even though the game is working fine my display is not a crisp as it was before even though the game is set at its maximum setting and I even tried using Windows 7 as compatablity maybe the graphics would look better but no luck......Is there a way to use the NVIDA control panel to override the game so it can look better...

I have the NVIDA GTX 980....

Thanks

Windows 10 is still playing my franchise fine, but I had to greatly reduce my FPS. It was at 320 FPS when I first fired up the game. Couldn't even see the baseballs being pitched.  When I first started MVP 15 it was scrolling so fast, and even the baseballs were spinning like crazy on the menu screen. I had to put it back down to 60FPS and it looks great with no glitches yet. I have all three of my Geforce cards burning, so I like what I see so far from 10. It even plays fine in Stereoscopic 3D on my 84 inch Samsung which is awesome looking!

What do you mean there? I've had the game run in crazy fastforward mode to, how did you do what you did here? Just curious for future references if it happens to me again. I am not on Windows 10 though, I use XP.

It won't fix your W10 problems running MVP, but FWIW, a close friend who is an IT expert told me this ...

If you are not running on a network (i.e. one PC at home) and you are running 7, stay with 7.

If you were running 7 and upgraded to 10, go back to 7.

If you are running 8, go to 10.

And if you see Bill Gates on the street, kick him in the d!ck for letting M$ subscribe to the theory of "If it ain't broke, break it."

Ok so I figured out the fix for Windows 10, and it all has to do with the  SECDRV.SYS file. Basically you have to download that file (or copy it from a preexisting earlier version of windows), drop it into your system32 drivers folder, self-sign the drive and turn on test signing. Here's the rundown (gotten from this website- I'm not that intuitive lol):

 

A workaround is to copy secdrv.sys from a windows 8 / 8.1 machine, self sign the driver, and enter into testsigning boot mode.

You can do this manually or use 3rd party programs to do it.

First copy secdrv.sys from a windows 8 machine to c:\windows\system32\drivers. You can also download it here. Same file as the one I got from a vanilla windows 8.1 install v 4.3.86.0 md5 3ea8a16169c26afbeb544e0e48421186

Then self sign the driver. You can use a program Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider to do this: http://www.ngohq.com/?page=dseo

Or read about doing it yourself here. You will also need to make the certificate.

Then enable TESTSIGNING boot mode by opening an admin command prompt and typing: bcdedit -set testsigning on

Now safedisc games should work.

You will get an annoying watermark in testsigning mode. You can remove it using this program. Or read about removing it manually here.

I tested secdrv.sys and the above programs in Windows 10 Pro x64 and confirms that it does work.

I can confirm I was having the same issue as everyone else before(either a black screen or wouldn't open at all, even after various compatibility fixes), and after doing this I got the base game of MVP to work perfectly (just built my computer recently). Getting the MVP15 mod to work is a whole other story but that's due to another issue (hint hint ;)). So glad to be playing this again, I loved this game on OG Xbox. Too bad the HDD fried during a power surge -__-

 

My first post, hope it was helpful!

Somebody needs to try this fix with a fully stable version of MVP (as in 08 or 12) to rule out problems with 15. If this is the solution, that's a helluva first post.  thanks!

By the way, I think that's the file (driver) that was causing the problems with the W7 update recently.

I have tried searching some threads haven`t had much luck...I have gotten the game to work but the problem is ever since I switched to Windows 10..Under the Resolution and Display mode in the game even though I have it set at 1280x 1024 x32 which is the maximum setting it displays the lowest which is 640x480x32 and doesn`t take when I try to change it...Which is weird cause I never had that issue before with windows 7...I have the latest nvida card which is the nvidia geforce  GTX980..Drivers are all updated...So I am not quite sure what is cause the problem..I tried running in admi mode but no luck....With all the other games I don`t have this issue...

So any help would be appreciated..
