jokerbvj: I've done all the compatibility options. Run as admin, duh. XP sp3 didn't work, 98/ME nope, win 95 nope,

Simply spell out the solution. This has apparently been going for 2010, but the game is being pushed in an editor's choice and still isn't working.

alfbuch: ddraw.dll.intel named (umbenennen) in ddraw.dll

Jukkelus: I had CTD when I started Panzer General 2 on my Windows 10 computer. I downloaded and installed June 2010 DirectX runtime package. Worked like a charm.

From another thread I spotted this advice:

This is quite often caused by disabled DirectPlay. In order to enable it, please follow these instructions:
- Please go to the Desktop. Press WinKey+R to open Run window, in it type: appwiz.cpl
-in side bar, click "Turn Windows features on or off" link
-find the Legacy components on the list
-enable DirectPlay, and click OK to install it.

Kudos to Trombi for finding and posting it.

Yaskomo: I have direct play enabled in Win features (for ST:BOTF), yet PG2 still crashes.
Wierd is that in game windows is frozen, but if i alt dab, i can hear the game music.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
