Hi everyone,

I'm new here (at least on this forum), I have Windows 10, and I believe that are some issues with the game.

The game crashed when I tried to do a Skirmish.

Can someone help me with this issue?

@D13h4rD
Details? Patch? System? d3drm.dll? Disc mounted?

@Encrypted
Why not? It's just an improved Windows 8.1.

Although I'm currently not interested in reinstalling half of my applications, so I won't be doing it for a bit. :S

@bilal You won't need to reinstall anything if you upgrade :)

Windows 10 is quite good - I encourage you to give it a try!

@Hayden
Oh, yeah I figured that out after I had posted haha. I'll be installing it soon!

Hi again,

Sorry if I was late to respond some of your questions.

The version I'm using on this computer is with the patch, and using d3drm. I'm did not mount the disk.

I'll try reinstall it and give further feedback as it goes.

It crashed after opening the game. I believe it has something about the direct draw, as the game has the colours inverted.

@D13h4rD
You can try using Daemon tools. I used it and it worked just fine.

I'm on Windows 10. I got the patch installed and using d3drm. Compatibility mode on for Windows XP.
When starting up Machines for the first time, it made me install a "Windows Feature" named DirectPlay or something.

Anyway, it looked like the screen was moved down and to the right, way off-center.
Framerate even in the menu is terrible.
Opening the options menu produces pink artifacts everywhere, and exiting the menu crashes the game.
I'll take screenshots later.

Edit: Managed to get it working by disabling the desktop scaling thing, but the framerate still makes it completely unplayable. Can't even navigate the menu very well.

I updated to Windows 10 (I'm still getting used to it, but so far it is quite good) and got this pink "highlights" problem. I applied compatibility settings and installed Direct Play to solve this issue, but I still have this frame-rate problem.
Before the update this didn't happen.
My specs:

@Pisarz
Just switched back to 8.1 because of horrible performance. Lots of freezing and very low game fps. (not in just machines)

Oh no, I passed the one-month rollback point.
