I know it's not marked as compatible with Windows 10, but has anyone gotten it running on WIn 10?

When I try to launch it, it'll just sit eating up one CPU core until I kill the process. Re-volt did something similar, where it was just an issue of removing a .dll file from the folder. Sadly I've tried removing .dll files one at a time to no avail.

Edit: Thanks to SFriedt (post 7) for pointing the way for Windows 10 compatibility. Sadly can't update the title to say Solved

When I was on windows 8 , all pandy games worked very well, but since I installed windows 10, pandemonium games don't work. When I launch the main program pandy.exe,the process is active in the task manager but nothing happen (same problem for pandemonium 2)

Yes, please add win 10 support i would love to play this game!

Agreed. Would love to play this.

Just bought this, cannot play on Windows 10, very disappointing.

EDIT: Pandemonium 2 works fine but I have yet to get 1 to work.

Same here. I sent a support ticket asking if there's any plans for Windows 10 support.

I'll post any response whenever I get it.

This is a problem of winmm. An updated version is linked in the X-Wing and TIE-Fighter Series forum.

Just unzip the dll's, rename winmm.dll to win.dll and copy them to the game directory.

You also should install nGlide 1.04 from Zeus Software and delete the old version from the game directory (3DFxSpl.dll, 3DFxSpl2.dll, 3DfxSpl3.dll, glide.dll, glide2.dll, glide3.dll, SST1INIT.DLL)

Without the new version Pandemonium! will crash when you try to exit it.

Ich just tried the fix on my computer and it worked well. I can play Pandemonium again. Did you rename the file winmm.dll to win32.dll, when you copied it to the folder? ;)

Yes... but... i don't understand:

Where can i take the updated "winmm"??

After i remove the nGlide old version from the directory, i just install the new version???

i can't find it

You can find the fixed version here:

https://www.gog.com/forum/star_wars_xwing_and_tie_fighter_series/new_winmmdll_fix_remastered_edition_on_windows_10

But alas it changes nothing and the game stubbornly refuses to run.

However, as suggested above I could not find the following dll in the game's folder:

3DFxSpl2.dll
3DfxSpl3.dll
glide2.dll
glide3.dll

Edit: Ok I just figured out the "3DFxSpl2.dll" and 3DfxSpl3.dll are in the Nglide folder, but even if I delete those two files
the game still refuse ton run :(

Just to be sure, you did remember to rename winmm.dll to win32.dll replacing the one in the folder right?

nGlide is a wrapper to allow you to run old Glide games on openGL cards as far as I can tell. Installing the newest version of nGlide will fix issues (like it crashing when you try to exit), but the older version which should be preinstalled with the gog release (and thus you needing to remove the files from the game folder for it to try using the new ones installed with the nGlide installer) should not impact the game actually launching.

As a test of this, I just uninstalled Pandemonium, made sure the folder was gone. Re-downloaded and reinstalled it.

Launched Pandy3.exe (where the shortcut points to): nothing happened apart from process using 100% of a CPU core until killed with task manager

Downloaded the winmm fix from the thread you linked to (Thank you very much). Unzipped everything (including the libogg and libvorbis files) to the Pandemonium folder. Renamed win32.dll to win32.dll.bak and renamed winmm.dll to win32.dll

Launched Pandy3.exe: Game launches with no issue, but not too happy with getting shut down as I didn't do any of the mucking about with nGlide.

And as a bonus, opened the properties of Pandy3.exe and removed the run as admin checkbox, game runs fine without being admin.

Edit: Thanks to SFriedt for mentioning you needed to rename winmm.dll, though the renaming it to win.dll does not work for pandemonium, the readme in the archive also mentions winmm -> win32

Thank you very much now the game run perfectly. :D

This needs to be stickied or a part of the game release. I was having this same issue.
