Groedaz: Hey guys,

Hope, anybody can help me. Today, i added this great game to my library, knowing that it doesn't sure, if the game runs on win8 . But trial and error has often worked well, especialy with GOG - games. In this case unfortunately not.

My system is a samsung notebook series 5, I5 and Intel 4000, Win 8 64,

The game runs without crashs but with a fps near 0, the vids, ironically, runs perfectly.

So I tried different ways to solve the problem, but nothing works. I tried to
- assign only one core to game.exe
- every possible well-known setting of graphics
- launch as admin and in different compatibilities
- search few hours in the www and in the GOG forum

I will try as next step to install a virtual box to run the game on a lower Windows, but maybe anybody has a better idea or another experiences with a VB or any other solutions.

Thanks for your help

Greetz

Here is the solution in two steps:

1) Please make sure that you use "Run as Administrator" to install and to start the game (right click on the shortcut or setup file and select "Run as Administrator").

2) Please extract the contents of the attached ddwrapper.zip archive to the game's "Game" directory (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Desperados Wanted Dead or Alive\Game) and try to play it again.

Here is the contents, please download and follow the step number 2:

Exorth: you could try with Microsoft Application compatibility toolkit 5.6 :
search on google " Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.6 download center en-us"
on microsoft server, link finish with "id=7352"
or Microsoft Application compatibility toolkit 6 , search "Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows® 8" on microsoft server, install only ACT6

in compatibility administrator 32bits
1 make a new custom database
2 click on the new database
3 click on "Fix"
4 name : like you want
5 program file location : browse for your Game Exe
6 next to "compatibility mode"
here add " 8And16bitAggregateBlts"
7 next to "compatibility fixes" :
here add
- 8And16BitTimedPriSync
- AccelGDIpFlush
- EmulateDirectDrawSync
- SingleProcAffinity (use only 1 core of cpu)
1 of this lines are probably useless "gdi?"

8 next to "Matching Information"
9 "Finish" for close this windows
10 then Save the database (left button on database name and Save)
11 Install the database (right button on database name and install)
12 launch the game

for return in normal state, before patch, you can delete this patch like other software, in Program and Features, with the name of the installed .sdb

with this, if i have sound problem with my AMD radeon hdmi driver, it's all ok with my realtek audio chipset (win8 64bits)
