Just trying to run Majesty 2 on Windows 10 1809. After selecting the sub game/dlc (no matter which) the game exits/crashes.

Eventlog records:

Faulting application name: majesty2.exe, version: 1.5.355.0, time stamp: 0x4bcee934

Have already tried the usually recommended sfc /scannnow and regsvr32 on the dll (registration fails) and uninstall/reinstall of the game, repair of the game, manual install of D3D, Visual Studio Redist 2005 & 2008.

All out of ideas at this point. Any help appreciated.

Same problem here : (
