Default DW on win11

Hello everyone,
i just purchased a bundle at steam (688, sub command, DW and fleet).

688 runs well. But the others wont start.



Any ideas to make DW run on w11? I tried to add the .dll That doesnt change anything (even tried all 3 versions of the .dll)

I tried the DXWND but also no change.



Its a brand new laptop from MSI, i7 12700H, GTX3060, 64 bit system.


Thanks a lot!
chris

Default Win11 seems to break a lot of stuff we like...

The above is why I have not updated from Win10 to Win11 - too many compatibility issues that break most of the applications and games I use .

Also running Windows 11 now, with a new computer, steam versions of 688, Sub Command and Dangerous Waters.

688 runs perfectly, Sub Command and DW I cannot get running. Tried the .dlls, DxWnd, DgVooDoo, compatibility modes, etc, etc, etc. I might keep the old Windows 10 laptop around for a while yet, until I can get this figured out.

RagnarTheTerrible!...the infamous -7-year-itch has brought U 2 the surface. Nice 'silent run' since 2016! Being a complete computer illiterate myself; I avoid all attempts to upgrade to WIN 11 that suddenly appear on my screen. Everything I've gleaned from more competent ers' posts tends to reflect general disatisfaction with the games on WIN 11.

I may be worth looking into emulation at this point. I'm upgrading to win 11 soon with new hardware, so I was going to try this Windows XP VM/container. The pitch sounds promising. I haven't touched it myself yet so we shall see.
