Can't run H&D2 after installing Windows 10 was created by Killroy
Hi all,
I just installed Windows 10 (previous version Win7) on my laptop. Now H&D2 doesn't want to start up anymore.
.
I've tried to launch the game in different compatibility-modus, without any result.
Please help me...

No errors! The screen turns black for a second, as if the game wants to start and than... nothing.

Welcome to the forum, Killroy
Was Hidden and Dangerous installed before you upgraded to win10, or did you reinstall it after?
You may want to try changing the game's graphics settings by running 'setup', which can be found in your HD2 main directory. If you can, post a screenshot of what your settings look like and we can try to go from there.

RESOLVED - Thanks to comments by jacobston regarding video settings and akj confirming Win 10 compatibility.
setup.exe - Run as Administrator
Fullscreen antialiasing [OFF], *fatal error occurs when using 2x or 4x values.
I have all other video parameters set to max.
HD2.exe - Run as Administrator
Thank you gentlemen!
