Hello,

I just bought Space COlony HD and i get an error 0xc000022. In attachment follows a pic with the description of the error. I went to check and i have ntdll.dll in system32 directory of my windows.

I have changed compatibility options (xp / vista / Win7 / Win8 / etc) and am runing in administrator mode.

Can't seem to make it work, i wait your feedback,

Same problem as above :( Win 10 on new 64bit pc.

Same here. Used to work in previous versions.
Running win10, x64, v1703, build 15063.250
unfortunately, i can't find any logs in Eventvwr.

I've the same error. The Game won't start.

Win10 Build 1703 64bit.

Same problem here :-(

I'm getting the same error. I've tried reinstalling, compatibility mode etc.

This is on a recent upgrade from win 7, where it worked, to win 10 -- both 64 bit.

Fixed the problem. You have to enable direct play.

Open the control panel. Open programs.

Open: Turn Windows Features on and off.

Open: Legacy Components.

Enable Direct Play

Even with direct play enabled, the game crashes for me.
Standard windows message "Space Colony.exe stopped working"

I'm on Win 10, with a fresh installation of the game.

Tried all compatibility settings with admin rights - no luck.

Edit: Okay, this is weird. Came home next day, and decided to give it another shot.
Starts with no problems, and I didn't change a thing.

This resolved my issue. Thank you so much!

Thank you!
