Bit of a long shot as I haven't bought the GoG version but is there a way to get the original retail (CD) version running on windows 11?
I've managed to install and run it but when it starts most of the colours are replaced with magenta and it only occupies half the screen. I've tried running it through Dxwnd but that hasn't helped. Strangely enough it seems like every second time i try and run the game it just hangs.

I don't know if this post will help with your particular issue, but I thought it couldn't hurt at least. =P

Thanks, but the compatibility settings were the first thing I tried
