Right there are several issues i seen in forums none seem to crash at exact point mine dose.

i can not even install patch 1.2, let alone 1.3 or the windows 10 patch.
also running with admin and wind XP sp 2 compatibility (did not disable full screen optimization as of yet, i JUST realized that)

Right so in case of STA (1) i start the game, intro plays, menu works perfectly fine, but weather i attempt to start single player campaign or skirmish i wont get past the loading screen of any individual mission. Hence i ASSUME that the problem is what i have not seen at that point - then actual engine of the game just wont start for some bloody reason.

Thing is something manages to load for a bit so i played about with wrapper, essentially setting everything to off, resolution to 640x480x16 (definitively something armada ought to work with) and the results were same exact crash at similar point (can not pinpoint due to lack of % shown).

*sigh*

can someone tell me what am i doing wrong?

Ok, so you've downloaded the GOG version or is this from the original CD ? Also we ARE talking Windows 10 ?

All i did was install GOG version, install 1.3.0 unoffical patch (for the Widescreen). USed the dxcfg tool and set

the resolution (ingame).

The game ran, i went to settings and SET the new widescreen 1920x1080. And worked out-of-the-box. Ok, im playing Multiplayer (2 of us vs 3 NPC).

If you want more assistance, by all means add me on discord: Elerion#6828, and ill can try help you further.
