Anybody able to run Return to Castle Wolfenstein in Windows 11? A plain grey screen is the furthest I ever got but the game never launches properly. The whole screen turns this light grey color but the program stops executing after that.

Have you tried running the game with a community fix?

Edit: Do you use dual monitors?

Did you try using IORTCW Source Port?

IORTCW is over here - https://github.com/iortcw/iortcw/releases

That's probably the best method here.

Also, if you're not planning on IoRTCW Source Port and you are trying to run RTCW as is, more or less - well, then you might need a API emulator/wrapper like DGVoodoo2, DXVK, DXWnd, or something of that sort to transfer modern DX calls into old DX Calls.

That did not work for me unfortunately.
