Game files corrupted (verify game in galaxy or reintall from normal offline installer), or video driver problem. If this screen captured from game as it is - before dgVooDoo\etc wrappers.

Experiment with full screen optimisation and DPI scaling options in exe properties.

If problem with clear game persist, first of wrappers try ddraw from narzoul github site. 2.1 for Win7 and 3.1 for Win8. If this not helped - try GOG DX Wrapper (but it not be available as separete download).

Only next thing to try is dg and DxWnd with many settings in theier configtool's.

There is also some ddraw.dll file in AM2\3\WW games from GOG. There is no such fixes wrappers for AM1, cause it shouldbt be happened. Although other games are releaased or updated after AM1.

But, shouldnt be an issue... so this is game files corruption (alwys do verify game files after downloading anything from any clients with such function to force recheck it) or video driver \ video driver settings.

Since curent GOG Galaxy always redownload something and never report what is (as he do at first versions) - force recheck game files minimum twice in a row.

for future first try narzoul dll - it no have any settings, so it is basic first step. dg use differ DLL for differ games, and shuld be configured.

My game installation was fine, but I was also having issues with graphics. The above dgVoodoo config fixed it for me on Windows 11, thanks :)
Note: This is a DirectX application, if you are new to dgVoodoo make sure to copy all the dgVoodoo dlls from the folder MS\x86 to the same place as the game Armymen.exe file (the main directory of the game).

Im once again suggest first try more simplest wrappers. There is some ddraw.dll in Am2/3 installations from GOG (usually come with dxcfg.exe tool, looks like some alternate wrapper).
There is Narzoul wrapper. Currently now have ini config file and so lost its simplest. Older versions available from github.

GOG DX Wrapped (ddraw+dxcfg.exe) is also one of better... Now, simpler solutions. It have config tool but basic options and usually not matter what you chose there. It would be compatible or wouldn't entirely, no settings matter.

Dege voodoo relates on chosing proper dll and settings.
