I already tried running as admin, various compatibility modes and disabling fullscreen optimization. No dice. Does anyone have any tips? The game just won't start no matter what

READ AND TRY THIS!

I have the games on GOG, this worked for me! if you need any help just comment and let me know and I can screenshot what my files or whatever look like... but, I have Windows 10 and this worked for me... game plays amazing afterward.

If this is the first F.E.A.R., I advise you to visit the PCGamingWiki site. There are several patches that improve stability and adapt it for a better experience with modern operating systems.
I have no problems whatsoever with playing this on Windows 10.

Run as admin, set compatibility to Win XP (SP2).

It needed that dll tweak though to run smoothly.
