Bought from just pure nostalgia and heard it's better here than Steam version, tho i can't make it work, it turns on for few seconds just to quit to desktop, without any information, tried everything and different resolutions, if someone had ecnounter it and fixed it i would be happy to hear from you

This game is infamously hard to get to work on modern computers. If you've tried any and all probable fixes that are floating around, and it still refuses to work, I'd advise you to just ask for a refund.

I personally have the CD and can play it on an old laptop, as indeed the GOG version just doesn't work for me either.

If you're unable to provide us with the necessary technical information, I advise you to...

Here's a topic that *might* help:

I bought this game years ago on disc and have always loved it. When it was released on GOG it was an instabuy for me. Unfortunately it wouldn'r run on my newest computer, an Alienware 17 R4. But I installed it on my old Asus laptop, also running Windows 10 and it worked fine. If you have an older computer try using it to play this game. You don't need a powerful computer to run it.

There used to be a custom installer that could be used with the CD versions to make it work on modern systems (worked for me) but it probably can't be used with the GOG version. But I remember trying the GOG version on my Win 10 PC and it worked (although shooting some guns caused the game to freeze).

Same as it always was .... kind of.

Believe it or not, while PCs have improved a lot, it is still about hardware matching and suitable drivers. It is not just about grunt. So processor and RAM and graphics cards etc are not all, and it is still about the combination.

So you can have a great sounding or seeming PC and still have issues.

This is the chief reason why Consoles are so good at what they do, where the variables are minimized.

That's what emulation is for. Today you can emulate a whole range of consoles, which are actually specialized PCs. But it demands a whole lot of processing power, so for the future of PC emulation we hope there will be some kind of breakthrough to facilitate an economical emulation of, for instance, an optimal components box that can effectively run a certain game. There are constant advancements in this direction, but we're not there yet.

I don't think you really understand what emulation is, as it is in no way shape or form the same as running a game on a console with known hardware specs. DEVs can test and get it right for a console, but with a PC there is so many variables and that will still occur with emulation. Emulation is not the magic bullet many seem to think it is.

Theoretically, if you had the computing power (a LOT) and the proper setup, you could emulate a Voodoo1 card (or whatever) on one system and send the data to another system who emulates a processor, then that to a system who emulates a CRT monitor that sends the data to your VR goggles so you can play IJ-IM. Once you go down to the basic components, the variables become sliders, like how DOSbox does things with cycles, for instance.

But, again, this is years away from being practical to implement or cost effective.

Looking at the PCGamingWiki page https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Infernal_Machine

Sounds like the best way to play is using dgVoodoo 2

Once you setup an emulator to work on a certain kind of PC with a certain kind of game, and get it flawless, you are cooking with gas for all other matching PCs and games. So one for all rather than doing it for each game or PC.

As you can probably imagine, software (inc. games) developers don't buy every PC hardware combination out there, so at best they kind of emulate won't they don't have access to. So it is not surprising that they don't always get it right, and many gamers of course don't play their games on a Gaming PC or Gaming Laptop, but have a fairly standard one, albeit maybe with lots of grunt. Most people tend to go multi-purpose, which is not always the best for gaming, some games especially.

As can be seen here in the forum, many gamers have issues with a game, and tend to blame GOG, while plenty of others don't have any issue with that same game on that same OS. So the difference really is the PC and settings on the PC or drivers etc. If anyone is to blame, it is the developer usually, though catering for every PC hardware combo out of the box, is perhaps a tough ask ... and so can require trial and error to solve once an issue arises.

So I updated to windows 11 and now the game will not start, anybody know of any way to fix this?

Have you tried with Dreamm my friend? It's used to run Lucas Arts games on modern machines.
