Re: Links 2003: Nothing seems to help get it to run on my computer.

Check my post on the bottom. I finally got it to work after 4 months of thinking I would never play it again. https://linkscorner.org/phpBB/viewtopic ... 5&start=70

Re: Links 2003 receives improved GPU compatibility

I am beyond astonished as I got links 2003 to work on my windows 11 desktop PC. The last time it worked was probably 4 months ago and I don't know why it stopped working. I gave up hope that I would ever play it again except on a virtual machine which was vastly inferior. I will go through the steps...

Re: Links 2003 receives improved GPU compatibility

Thank you for the link but quite frankly that just blew my mind. I'm not a computer programmer and none of that made the slightest sense. The tinkering I'm trying now is the upper level of my abilities. :surrender:

Re: Links 2003 receives improved GPU compatibility

So I've been thinking ( I know dangerous) that something is blocking Links 2003 from starting. That's why none of the suggestions are working. But what could it be? I have Bitdefender set to not scan LinksMM111 and to allow it in the firewall. What else could block it? Funny thing is I installed it ...

Re: Links 2003 receives improved GPU compatibility

I think it was 1200 x 1080. If it was higher the screen was too big and edges were cut off. I have the registry mode at 14.

Re: Links 2003 receives improved GPU compatibility

I play full screen mode. The resolution is 2560 x 1440 which is native for the monitor. So I set the scaling to 100% and rebooted the computer. And today it is a no go. It goes to the black screen, and stays for minutes till I end task in task manager. I tried it about ten times.The funny thing is I...

Re: Links 2003 receives improved GPU compatibility

Thank you for your help. I disabled full screen optimizations and removed the .ini file. I had scaling at 125% because 100% is too small. I did change it to 100% for the game and it did start! I played a few rounds and the picture is perfect with no jaggies and the mouse responds perfectly. I change...

Re: Links 2003 receives improved GPU compatibility

I have added the ddraw.dll and the DDrawCompat.ini from the LS2003_wrapper_8xAA_8xAF folder. I have a Nvidia GEForce GTX-1080 video card. I just get a black box when clicking the icon to start the game. Nothing happens after waiting several minutes. When going to task manager to end task I notice th...
