Has anyone encountered problems launching this game? First, the menu screen is very zoomed in. I was able to fix it by changing the resolution. However, when I actually start a game, it just closes down with no error message. Already tried changing the compatibility mode, fiddled around with the DPI, lowering the resolution settings and running in compatibility mode. I'm using Windows 10.

For the zoomed menu, right click > screen configurstion > Scale and design set 100%.

About crashing try this solution I found on Steam "you have to go to (gamedir)/bin and set compatability mode for both .exe's to windows 7"

Will try the Scale and Design method. I already tried the compatibility fix.

I gave up. I installed it on my desktop and it worked fine there. I was planning on playing it on my laptop.

I'm just getting used to the controls. These old games are really something. It's almost unfair. lol

Q: How do I play Shadow Warrior and its two expansions: Wanton Destruction and Twin Dragon?

A: Download EDuke32 via the Synthesis builds, which now include the program "VoidSW", the new EDuke32-based sourceport for Shadow Warrior and its two mission packs:

1) Go to https://dukeworld.duke4.net/eduke32/synthesis/
2) Download either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of EDuke32 and extract the contents to a folder of your choice.
3) Place SW.GRP, SW.RTS, WD.GRP, and TD.GRP in the same folder as the VoidSW executable.
4) Double-click on the VoidSW executable.
5) The VoidSW startup menu should now show the base Shadow Warrior game and both mission packs.
6) Select either the base Shadow Warrior game or one of the mission packs and press Start.

Q: How do I enable Shadow Warrior's CD Music?

A: Do the following:

1) Create a new folder called "music" without quotes in your EDuke32 folder where the VoidSW executable is located. For example: c:\eduke32\music\
2) Place your audio files (FLAC or OGG format) within this folder using the following filename convention: track02.ogg, track03.ogg, etc. Your filenames should be track02.ogg (or flac) - track14.ogg (or .flac). For example: c:\eduke32\music\track02.ogg
3) Start Shadow Warrior and you will now hear Japanese music playing at the 3D Realms intro screen.
4) If you still do not hear music after following steps 1 - 3, check that your files are named correctly as above in step 2, then start Shadow Warrior and go to Options --> Sound --> Music.
5) Click on "Music" and make sure that the Yin / Yang symbol is illuminated.
