Since its first release in (retail) stores the game always crashed 90% of the time on the same scene:

check attachment : grky17dxwnd.jpg

Screenshot shows the part where Gorky 17 loves to crash from day one and it has never been fixed :D
maybe because its unfixable or maybe they arent aware it crashes at the same scene , the best way is too speed asap through this nasty , and slow level ( the monsters love to throw enerry balls which explode after a few turns ( which don't kill my team because they have 6K life : )

Still its nasty and i had to start over again and after 6 attempts i managed to clear the level before it could crash.

Thats not the reason i created this topic, the reason is the game is hard to run without the screen flickering, kinda like its refreshing the screen live, its quite irritating , once it runs a charm , many times it doesnt.

DXwnd... everyone knows this 'tool' there are a few older and a newer version, ( newest version doesnt work that well for me) .

Attached screenshot shows i managed to run the game at 1024 x 740 :D
yes, height = set to 740 not 768 but 740, this way i can still see my taskbar and keep an eye on the CPU and GPU status .

Dxwnd also shows the fps i set it to be between 30 and 32 or 33 ( check screenshot)

No matter which settings i apply, and i apllied dozens :D, i never get the same result, normally when using a certain setting you should get the same result, well it doesnt, Gorky 17 is like a set of dice , you cant roll 6 times the exact number ( unless the dice are fixed) so its always a suprise how the game will behave itself, also depends a lot on the windows version, 32 BIT XP handle this game better with less errors ( minus the frequent crashing on the scene.

I made a screenshot:

grky17dxwnd.jpg) cause it always happens at that scene, other scenes might be affected but this one is number one in crashes.

Like i said i tried all sort of resolutions , windowed, and tried many settings in dxwnd but you never get the same result., i wonder what windozer 10 does.... which i will find out , maybe even this year or else next year ( new PC will need win 10)

I didnt mark it as a problem nor a question cause its not a real problem (well it is but it is not that bad u can play it just have to make sure i get past that level very quick :) .

Anyway , just wanted to ask if the game also crashed at the scene schown in the attachment: grky17dxwnd.jpg
it cant be its only with my hardware cause every hardware and windows that could run the game crashed the game
at the same scene, so it has to be game related :D

Yes, it does often crash during Incubus fight. Fortunatelly, there is only one fight with them in the whole game.
I owned this game before on CD and I own it now on Gog. It randomly crashed on both versions, on Windows Me/XP/7/10. It doesn't have anything to do with your configuration, it's preexisting bug.

Also - try dgVoodoo2 for running Gorky 17 with acceleration. It works perfectly for me.

Thank you for the reply , i use Dxwnd for quite a while now, i use an older version also have one or 2 version later, i don't use the latests version cause the ones's i have work a charm for me.

The game seems to crash ( i think it always crashed even when i ran the game on a old pc and Windows at the date the game was firs released in The Netherlands ( English language ofcourse i dont buy games that are translated into Dutch ( this is okay for (much) younger gamers, but i prefer English).


Anyway the part where the creepers are throeing those nasty balls, ( slows down the game cause it looks like it takes ages before they are done throwing the balls), seems i have to speed thorigh that part or the game will crash : 3 out of 5). I managed to finish the game many times.
