Uncle Lumpy -> Windows 10 solution (2/15/2016 8:31:33 PM)
|
The following is only my 2 cents worth, but for me it worked. I upgraded to Windows 10 on my failing Toshiba laptop about two weeks ago. Even though my laptop was dying DWU ran fine on it after I enabled Media Player. Friday I purchased a refurbished Dell with Windows 10 installed. After re-installing DWU I began to experience a problem launching the game. The Menu screen would come up but when I launched the game the Splash screen (powering up reactors, etc.) would appear for a few seconds then disappear! No launch, no game. I followed all of the instructions in Eric's pinned post. Nothing. I followed all the other suggestions I could find in any other post, too. Finally I booted into Safe Mode and re-installed DWU with full Administrator and in Windows 8 compatibility. I also did the same for the latest upgrade of the game and DirectX (I saved my previously downloaded copies). I then started the game in Safe Mode and this time the Splash screen ran all the way through its "monolog." Unfortunately it didn't start the game. After exiting Safe Mode I attempted to start the game again. This time the Splash screen ran and the game started!! I'm only a few hours into it, but so far it's working. I have no idea if this is helpful or not to anyone.
