I just downloaded the zipped game, extracted and and ran it on my W10 Laptop.

It just worked! No fix or patch required.

No errors, no glitches! I'm actually pleasantly surprised!

@username_1 Hi! Any luck with that?

I believe that I tried without and with the patch. It didn't help. I also spun up a Windows 2000 virtual machine in VirtualBox, but that didn't work because the virtual adapter didn't support enough colors.

Understood, Thanks for reply. Good old YouTube, gotta have it.
BTW; Yes, Can play leaving the cd's at home thanks to the loader from this site.

@Beemer

Hmm, I don't have any experience with Chromebooks.

You could try dgVoodoo 2 - if the integrated graphics chip (or its drivers) doesn't support old versions of Direct3D well, it may help.

I'm also having this issue

What worked for @BeVeRenT- and what he forgot to mention was the IPXwrapper http://www.solemnwarning.net/ipxwrapper/ and hamachi network. This allowed him to choose "IPX CONNECTION FOR DIRECTPLAY" in the multiplayer options.

Glad to hear :)

Try this AntiLag patch and see if the connection is more stable: AntiLag.reg

It happens to me exactly the same.

I installed machines again, and since this happened to me, I do not know if it will be the new updates that I had in Windows 10, because previously it worked for me.

dgVoodoo did not work for me.

P.S: by the way, I'm from Chile

Another suggestion is to use the https://www.gameranger.com/ with which I was able to play Machines online.

@schubot That sounds unpleasant o_O

The issue might be fixable by installing dgVoodoo 2 - instructions here

I know it's not much use but I can confirm this problem, just tested it myself... got same results.

@M123
I think I did well, now I need to buy a CD because it does not let me put a "virtual reader A, B, C, D, E" leave me alone "F" in adlenate.

I hope it works when burning the disc.

thanks for that long explanation.

I notice if it c:

@Asdam

Thanks for trying, and thanks for the welcome lol.

and solve everything, performance, black transparent textures and the game works me to 1080p though the lyrics are a little girls, but at least I can see very detailed.

mmm to go through the technical support of this wonderful site, I found a post about pascal nvidia, and good for, and that encounter that problem, and said at least will solve one of the two, and download the program follow the instructions and play worked perfectly 100% and then taste the game at 1080p and was still working well, then I see some improvements to the program and such ... hahaha great one.

Interesting.... I previously ran the game with no issues whatsoever on Win7, but more recently I encountered the visual transparency bug that people seem to be commonly encountering.

Hey man! thanks so much for your help. So I did the first step and the game actually turned on!! I was so stoked, but then the program asked me to download something, so I downloaded what ever it was.. some windows program... and it disappeared into the background. I managed to open it through the task manager but when I got into the game where ever I dragged the mouse the image would distort and when I clicked on play it asked me to insert disc 2.

so I deleted my entire machines file and I'm starting from square one. I'll let you know how it goes.

if i ever get the card installed i will test it myself. i have a gtx 950 card but i had some trouble getting it working. i think i solved the problem but i got tired of it and as a result i have not installed it since.

the police in norway is overworked so copyright issues is mostly overlooked. it is available from machinesthegame.co.uk but that is the version that is corrupt.
