As we all know, the launcher for Tachyon: The Fringe doesn't quite work out of the box when trying to run the game on Windows 10. I found a solution.
1. Go to the installation folder....and right click on "Tachyon.exe" (the launcher).and click on "Properties"
2. Make sure to check the box "Run this program as an administrator"...and set the Compatibility mode to "Windows 98 / Windows ME"....Click Apply...then "OK".
You should be able to run the original launcher now.
3. After running the launcher and starting the game, you can turn off the Windows Compatibility Mode option in Step 2.
You will now be able to use Tachyon.exe as the default executable when launching form GOG Galaxy.
Meanwhile, if you want a resolution higher and slightly wider than 1024x768, you should check out this guide on Steam:
