Getting Deadlock 2 to work in Windows 10

As mentioned by sneakcity: https://www.gog.com/forum/deadlock_series/deadlock_ii_screen_goes_blank >>> Just to bring the issue to completion, narzoul figured out the problem and has a ddraw.dll to fix it. I've downloaded it and been playing with it for the past several days with no graphical issues. I don't miss those trailing squares! You can visit the other thread for the resolution, or find the ddraw.dll on this website: https://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat/releases/tag/v0.2.0 <<< Please note that Deadlock 2 doesn't seem work with version v0.2.1 so make sure you download v0.2.0, unzip it and put "ddraw.dll" in the same folder as "DEADLOCK.EXE". Start the game like normal and voila. @GOG you may want to include narzoul's "ddraw.dll" with future versions of Deadlock 2 to make it Windows 10 compatible. This fix should also make it Windows 8 compatible.

One of the good RTS games

I spent many hours on this one (in 2016). The races are diverse, the tech tree is interesting (if not very logical sometimes from a non-sci-fi point of view), there are many options for development. After you get fat in a couple of cities, you don't automatically get to flood everyone, because still you need to pay upkeeps and manage economy. I had fun :). Need to try the multi now :)

A true classic!

What a classic! Now that it's been updated to run on modern OS (Windows 8.1 and Windows 10) you can relive this game from the late 90's. You may still get an error about DirectDraw failing when you start up, but just have Windows run the game in compatibility mode and it should work fine after this. The game offers a challenge for newcomers and veterans of this type of game alike. There's a little something for everyone here.

One of the Finest

Deadlock II is excellent. At its core, it is a 4x game. It combines excellent population and resource management with a well designed tech tree and several fairly different species to choose from. You begin by selecting a race. each of which have distinct traits traits, and each with strengths and weaknesses. One race can see the entire map from game start but has weaker troops, another researches quickly but has morale problems in its cities, another is excellent at food production and has strong troops, but has a terrible navy. I always enjoyed the fact that Humans were also unique, having a substantial Wealth Advantage to build its cities, certain units have the unique Berserk (or suicide attack) ability, but expensive troops made it difficult to maintain a large army. A fair bit different than most games where humans are "average" at everything. Next, you select a landing location on a planet, where you must already take into multiple considerations such as where population growth will be higher vs. where resources will be more plentiful, and take into consideration neighboring territories and nearby enemy factions. You then by slowly but steadily advancing through a large tech tree, expanding across the globe, and depending upon the victory conditions, competing for shrines that grant additional bonuses. You set battle orders for your troops before they enter combat, but cannot control them once battle begins. You can also engage in rudimentary trade with your neighbors, but more interesting dealings happen with the Black Market, where you can purchase anything from intelligence, to research, to actual military units. You can also engage in diplomacy and isolate stronger neighbors, or even share vision, research or victory itself. Ultimately, this game is a ton of fun, especially in multiplayer with any computers set to an 'average' difficulty so that they are neither positively or negatively disposed towards you by default. Highly recommended.

2 Stars.... But only because...

I used to play this game and its GREAT! however.... This is not compatible with any windows system outside of xp.. the support for the game getting fixed for anything above it is well...... non-existent which is sad because I would LOVE to play this great game once again... hopefully one company out there might make a remake of the game with the graphics we got now..
