The game has issues launching for me through GOG Galaxy, It gets to the ESRB notice and then not long after it quits back to Win 10

But yet when i go to the actual folder and click on it the exe, No Problems at all.

I assume, you're using the FOV fix?! If so, then the Galaxy overlay is the culprit. Just turn it off for Stranglehold in the game's configuration inside Galaxy.

Hi, I am really struggling to get the FOV fix to work. Do you think you could give me step by step instructions?

Hopefully this will help. Verify and repair your game files before you do this, so you start fresh!

Download the mod from https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1590-stranglehold-hor-fov-fix/. Place the files into the binaries folder in the games folder.

Then go into the patches folder and open the main file with Notepad.

Сhange these values

#bind [PRESSED:VK_F5]
#bind [PRESSED:VK_F6]
#bind [PRESSED:VK_F7]

to the keys you want.

Get virtual key code value from here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-tvtt/261ddfb0-ce10-4380-9b7a-4b50f482b8ec

Then you run the game as normal and test the keys changed the values to in the main menu and it should change.

I've been loving playing this again in 1440p and a high FOV.

Thank you so much for your help, but it still doesn't work for me!

This is what I'm doing step by step, can you let me know please if I'm doing anything wrong? (I've also tried restarting these steps after verifing and repairing the game via the GoG menu):

- I've gone to the PC Gaming Wiki link you gave and downloaded the folder 'Stranglehold GOG FOV'.

- That folder has two files in its root directory, 'dinput8.dll' and 'Settings'. There is a further folder, 'patches', which has as third file inside, 'main.patch'.

- I've copied all three of these files to the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Stranglehold\Binaries, overwriting if asked to.

- I've started to play Stranglehold, making sure first that Overlay does not have Access GOG Galaxy features in-game ticked.

I have no new resolutions in the main Settings menu (max is still 1920x1080). Then I begin a new game, with Tequila standing there in the street, and even though I've rebound the keys using the key code values in your link, having opened main.patch within the Binaries folder using Notepad++, nothing happens when I press them (like nothing happened with I had pressed F5 or F6).

Please can you help? I'd really appreciate it, as I'm desperate to make this game playable and am becoming so frustrated!

Thank you :-)
