So i have seen some of the topics still being active and since i wasted half of the day reading forum, watching videos and trying to figure out how to at least make the game launch properly, i decided to try and get some help from others.

[by the way, yes i am fully aware this game is 21 years old and isnt meant for modern pcs but people seem to get it patched and work perfectly]

I am running G:OC on windows 10 and already tried multiple fix attempts including changing resolution, turning NVIDIA vsync off, dxwrapper patch, dxw [managed to launch it but it always crashed in fullscreen or if i hit escape/esc and was purely black screen], changing entries with registry editor, and fiddling with compatibility settings. The result is and was always same, it gives me the direct draw driver error.

My latest dxwrapper-gangsters.log has this:

The only variant left for me right now is to run Windows XP in VirtualBox and try doing it here but i really want to know how do people manage to solve this problem and run it in Windows 10 without any errors [excluding no text in main menu] popping up so please leave any possible solutions that you may know here.

If you need any additional info on my PC specifications just ask me and thank you in advance

Hi there !

I've a problem with this fix windows 10 too ...
All the buttons are blank and in game the speed mouse is broken .. like '' freeze unfreeze ''.
Are there another patch to DL since 2 oct 2019 ??
Or i missing anything during the install ..??

I've followed instructions to install Gangster, download patch on github.com by Elishacloud.
To easly speak, i do: download the game, copy the patch 3 files (dsound.dll ; dxwrapper.dll ; dxwrapper.ini ) in game factory near gangster.exe ( COG/ game/ Gangster ) and run it with disable administrator, that's right ?

Is it normal that there are not the same files patch in game factory to overwrite ???

Thanks to your help!

You should use dxwnd in order to play in Windows8/10. It already has a preset for G:OC, which works ok (menu and game). Maybe some cursor trails, but I think that happened in the original too.
