I got a new computer with Windows 11 so I just downloaded SC4 Deluxe from GOG again and reinstalled.
It seems to launch fine. I can hear the normal theme music go through its sequence at startup but the entire screen is black except for the pointer arrow.
I have an NVidia GeForce RTX 4060 Graphics card.
Here's my system
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 265K 3.90 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.5 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
I did add the script to the launch shortcut -CPUCount:1 -f -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32
so it only used the one processor.
I know there are loads of patches and things to download to make this work in modern systems, but does GOG include those when you re-download?
It seems like this is a graphic issue only.
I was previously playing this on Windows 10 and it worked fine, but I'm old and tired now and not sure I want to spend any more time and effort to cobble this old thing together.
If it's a relatively simple fix I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
