So i checked site and it stated that tr2 is compatible with windows 10. But in reality its not working, i press on exe and nothing happens. If i wanted to dig forums, check fan-made fixes and etc, i would use my retail disk. But no, i prefer to play games instead of wasting time on fixing them, and that's exactly why i'm paying you. Gog guys.

So, TR2 is compatible with W10, but it's not working. Explain it please, gog?

p.s. and if you see that it's not working and you can't fix it, why you didn't delete mentioning of w10 on you page?

Send in a support ticket.

Getting exactly the same problem.

I have the same problem here I cant run TR2 on windows 10 and I spend my money on it.

Having the same problem with TR2
When I "start" the game it appears in my task manager but never really starts!
What to do?!

Same deal here. Unlike TR 1 and TR 3, I'm noticing that Tomb2.exe always runs as a background process, as opposed to running under active applications.

Whenever I try to launch the game, nothing seems to happen, however it is indeed running, just can't see it. Therefore, to terminate, I have to go into Task Manager to manually "End Task", and Tomb2.exe is always listed under "Background Processes" instead of the active "Apps" on top. Could have something to do with it?

No other compatibility tweaks I've tried ("Compatibility" tab under the shortcut properties) seem to change this behavior and I can't seem to find any info on how to fix, been looking for over an hour now...

Post #2, but this could help?

I did submit a ticket to support today.

The "this could help" link you posted takes me to a page regarding technical issues for a game called "King of Dragon Pass", not sure how that's relevant? If you are indicating analyzing the wait chain, I did this, there were no other processes to end, and after completing the analysis, it tells me "Tomb2.exe is running normally."

No, it took you to a particular post I felt may have been relevant. Some of the KoDP people appeared to have a similar issue. Superficially at least. Unfortunately, analyzing the wait chain did not help with TR2

Hey Gydion, I'm going to take a look at that link you posted again. Perhaps I can tinker a little, do a little more research and figure something out, thanks for your input. I did just kinda briefly skim over the info, I'll dig into more detail when I have a chance. I like this game for nostalgia and all, but heck, I'm neck-deep into Rise of the Tomb Raider at the moment... ;)

However, I just want to let anyone that may experience this problem and come across this thread know that I did get a reply from GOG support, and I have been advised that for whatever reason, they couldn't get Tomb Raider 2 to work in a stable manner with Windows 10, therefore there is now a note on the store page for the Tomb Raider 1+2+3 pack stating Tomb Raider 2 specifically will not work on Windows 10. The note is right under the minimum system requirements listed on the page.

I wasn't aware of this, I bought this pack of games way before Windows 10 was released, so I can't say I would've ever realized this note was out there on the store page. It ran fine on Windows 8.1 previously, but I just upgraded my main system to Windows 10 about two weeks ago, first time trying to install these old Tomb Raider games to test, see if I ran into any issues.

In the chance I come across any tweaks or fixes, I'll post back here. Thanks again!

Just stumbled on:

Looks like there may be some tweaks to mess around with. I will have to experiment with this and see what happens. Totally didn't come across this thread until now...
