Compatibility Question

Post by Lev_Nougol »

Okay, so DC mod runs in Win XP SP2 (which took me longer than it should have to figure out), but other mods run in different compatibility modes...but if I change it for one...they all change accordingly. How do I set them to run in separate compatibility modes from one another?

Hi Lev - you may be able to create a different shortcut icon for each game mod and then in the properties of each of the different icons - set your running preferences (ie. Run as Admin, Compatibility settings, ect)...

I have DC installed on a Win7 32bit and Win7 64bit - all of us are a bit different sometimes I guess - I can't run either pc in anything other than defaults or DC won't run at all... who knows...

All I did was give the BF1942 the compatability mode and admin rights which has allowed me to play all mods........*scrathes head* ...... Ummmm .. Correct me if I am wrong here but all the mods play through the BF1942 ... right. So why do each one individually? :? :?

Because XP works for DC, but crashed for 1918 and EoD. They run properly on 98 compatibility, but DC won't. :p

You could create different shortcuts but since they all play through the same BF1942.exe executable I think it will change the compat mode on the exe itself every time *through* the shortcut.

You'll need to change the shortcut each time if that is the case.

Yeah, that's what it's looking like, unless I want to do a dual install, which I lack the storage for atm. Screw it, I'll just have to learn to be more patient and swap out when I need to. :p
