Doesn't work on windows 10

I tried to run it with DXGL as some forum threads/reviews said but I still had tons of issues and the game is unplayable. The widescreen fix didn't do anything for me. The game technically runs to the main menu but at low resolution and trying to start a mission just makes the game crash anyway. I had fond memories of the game that I wanted to revisit but as it is being sold right now, the game just doesn't work and I have no idea how much effort I'd need to put in to get it to work, if it's even possible.

A great game

The Settlers IV is a great game in which I have spent a lot of hours. I remember trying to reinstall my CD version many times with hopes that it would eventually work on my modern computer. Naturally it didn't, but I was very satisfied when I came across the game here at GOG. Sadly, the game, as it is here at GOG, is again starting to get old as the game will not work on windows OS 8 and 10. Hopefully this will be updated in the future, but don't get your hopes up. I'll give this game 5 stars, because the game is a 5 star game. _The maintainance of the game's re-release, however, does not deserve 5 stars._

Broken mechanics, truth be told

The GOG version was patched for compatibility with Windows 10. I managed to run it, yet the game lagged so hard it was unplayable. I had to use DXGL, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to play. As far as the game itself goes—unless you’re already familiar with the title you may have a hard time with it. The biggest problem I have are the combat mechanics (which lie at the core of the game). Once a specific period of time passes the AI begins to send troops to attack you. The enemy will attempt to storm your fortifications. This can be easily countered by building a lot of big towers close to each other, each fully manned by third level soldiers. There are several issues with this. First of all the enemy archers cannot shoot the archers on the towers. They just stand and get shot, since only swordsmen can storm the tower. Secondly, the AI doesn’t use siege engines which hardly makes sense and isn’t challenging. Attacking is even worse than defending. Once you capture an enemy tower (or recapture your own) the AI sends all of its troops after you, literally swarms your land with soldiers, which is ridiculous. You practically cannot command your army, only point them in desired direction. Once they see the enemies they become fixated on them, and cannot be called off. This most often results in the army being decimated since they don’t follow your orders. Among other things to mention is the fact that the game doesn’t tell about the possibility to speed up gameplay with numpad keys in the tutorial or anywhere else (only about the 1-minute time jump, which is useless anyway since it makes you vulnerable to enemy attack).

Other users are correct!!

Does not start, continuous graphic errors, by now a game should NOT BE SOLD that makes you have to try to find a workaround, ESPECIALLY when both the OLDER versions AND newer ones work "out of the box"! And this was with the download installer, NOT Galaxy, as I really abhor client based games and installs. Would love to be able to rate the game based on merit, but if it won't work, installed as Admin, from the downloaded installer, on a Windows 10 machine with fairly good graphics, without having to search for any other "fixes" that should already be WITH the game, this is the best, most honest review I can give! Settlers II anniversary edition works fine, just dull and stupid AI, Settlers III works, although it asks for a serial key (shouldn't those be able to be edited out by now? Archaic drm system!), Settlers: Heroes works beautifully...why doesn't THIS one? I'll change my review when they fix this issue, as it stands this is what the game deserves, even on sale...and really if it can't be played it's not even worth the sale price just to say you have it.
