No luck with that here, but oddly running it in Comodo Sandbox does run the game, albeit with a choppy cursor that leaves trails for about 5 seconds every time it moves. Not ideal! Also renamed the intro movies, but got to see the first cutscene, which was nice.

I'm getting a black screen as well. Has there been a fix for this yet?

Update:
I just tried the fl_highcolor_patch for Final Liberation and it works! It's located on this site:
http://bitpatch.com/gw.html

i just installed that and it did not work. is there something im supposed to do with it?

This is a pretty reliable workaround.

Make sure you use the patch's Browse button to point it at Epic40k.exe, because it will let you patch with no target. The fl_highcolor_patch worked for me on an XP virtual machine. Consistently under my black screen (after the SSI splash) was an error message:
Application Error: Epic40k.exe
The Instruction at 0046c5a7 referenced memory at 0146a000
The memory could not be written

After running the patch, the error's gone and I get the intro movie after the SSI splash, followed by the playable game. There's a nice explanation at the top of the patch's source code: "The game is 16-bit color except for the movies which play back in 8-bit. So we'll stomp the dd->SetDisplayMode( 640,480,8 ) call and then tell the smack player to output in 16-bit color." Sure beats disabling the videos!

Hey guys, I was having the same problem (CTD after blackscreen, directly after ssi logo) and I've cured it for me. Adding the fl_highcolor_patch, AND Aqrit's DDWrapper (with the only enabled option being ForceDirectDrawEmulation=1, leave everything else set to 0) did the trick perfectly, and now the game runs practically flawlessly!

This actually works!

How can i do this?
