If you're trying to run it in a VM, Windows XP would be your best bet. You would have to manually install all of the drivers for direct X and such though. I run the game now using Win 10 and with a program called DGVoodoo2 and it works you just have to configure your settings and make sure you run as administrator in compatibility mode XP service pack 3.

that great, but how? 

from what i know you your luckly, agian how. 

 

There is a utility called SafeDiscShim that recreates the "handshake" the DRM makes between your PC and the discs so the game can work, along with dgVoodoo2 that spoofs earlier DX 8 graphics cards since the newer GPUs won't work

I've always played this game without any problems and without any additional programs. My PC specs are: Intel processor with Intel® UHD Graphics 630 GPU, but I'm currently using an NVIDIA graphics card.

Last time I checked, the Intel Iris Xe graphics card wasn't working. Is there a solution? This working?

It's supposed to emulate a handful of cards, I think the Radeon 8500, GeForce 4 Ti 4800, Geforce FX 5700 Ultra and 9800 GT are in the list

Can you explain me how working it? Please!

 

You said you were able to run the game on Windows 11 with no issues, I should be the one asking you how you got it to work without these workarounds for the DRM and GPU!

Yes, but I've never had any problems running the game. Even so, many of my friends are having this problem.

I'm just curious on how this is possible given that the DRM required for the game to work has been removed since Windows 7 on the OS level. 

Actually, nevermind, I won't even ask.

There's a tutorial on our site here for working with dgVoodoo2. Check the forums.

I don't know what to say about this, because in Latin America around 90% of the people who play this game use Windows 10 or 11. Some people have had problems, but it's only a minority.

Thank you! Any way.
