CAPop: My Disciples just wont start on my Win 11 laptop, black screen and that's it, I tried with the wrap posted here but the game play is way to fast so I don't recommend. If you guys find a way the game to work properly pls share. Thanks!
Thats strange cause Wrapper default speed is normal maybe a bit faster than game normal (which is possible to see on Win7 and older Windows, Win8+ would be slow).
Two things to take in mind. 3rd party mirrors can have altered ini file. Use Wrapper's File-Reset menu and then reconfigure it again in its many Menu settings on upper Menu bar.
Wrapper actually relate on original game/configtool settings, which not mentioned by Verok. So set game speed (player movements/ai movments/etc) to Normal or Slow. Use Wrapper animation speed wrap option to speedup game to desired level (1.5 maybe, it would be really too fast on higher numbers).
Some pseudo security update for Windows 10 (then 11) and Win Defender broke GOG DX Wrapper that come with few games. This Wrapper labeled as Win10/11 fix update for some games changelogs. And it is actually are fix for broken legacy DirectX compatibility. Issue in Windows pseudo security settings. Left UAC and VirtualStore on default settings (make sure they ENABLED), everything else is trsh that should be turned off. Windows DEP service require CMD as Admin and console command something like bcedit.exe nx off. Google it for details. DEP are and always was broken by design, since implementation in WinXP.
And of course NONE games and gaming apps in PROGRAM FILES folder. Nothing but D/Games/Game-name-2/
and D/Games/GOG-Galaxy
where D is NOT a system drive.
Using system folders either make GOGs dlls files blocked or dll fine - it is ini files Wrapper not get access to.
And one game related. 1280x1024 is obsolete resolution. Use 1024x768. And 60 hz.
For me game did work on Win10. GOG version with GOG Wrapper make it work as it was on Win7.
DisciplesGL Wrapper is more than wrapper, it is a mod. So not for newcomers or those who want clean version.
