Hi, which "explanation" do you mean?
Did you try:


Game does not launch on Windows 10
You can try the following steps

Execute setup.exe (run as administrator)
Turn full-screen anti-aliasing OFF
Lauch HD2.exe / HD2_SabreSquadron.exe as administrator

Thanks for your help NL, it works after i "Turn full-screen anti-aliasing OFF"
Is there any way to play it still on fullscreen?

Do you mean you have it windowed now or do you mean in widescreen?

If windowed this is a setting on your system, not in HD2 itself.
For widescreen see this topic.

I think its "windowed", when i go on setup file then i can only use highest Resolution 1152x864, so its not about the full screen. Do you know a solution how i can play it on full screen? On the Display File is just my Intel HD Graphics 5500, there is no option to use my Nvidia Geforce Graphic... Thanks for your help until now.

Disable the intel graphics on the cpu, you may have to do this in the BIOS, that way your system will always default to your GPU.
