Purchased a new PC for my 84 yo father-in-law. OS is Windows 11 Pro. He has been playing CFS2 on his older computer (with Windows 7 Home Premium) for years. I loaded the two discs for him onto the new computer, used the no CD file, adjusted the Compatibility settings per posts on this and other forums and the game opened up. However, when attempting to play "Quick Combat", for instance, the cockpit view comes up for about 2 seconds and the game quits (back to the desktop) This is when the Graphic bar is set at 6. However, if I set it to 1, the game plays, albeit crummy graphics. And it will only successfully play when set at 1. If I move it up to 2,3, etc, at some point the game quits.
I have a laptop with Windows 10. I set everything up on my laptop EXACTLY like I did on the Windows 11 computer and the game plays on my laptop on level 6. And this is without editing the .cfg file (however, I have since edited the file to get rid of the opening video, etc per the tutorial that is posted on this forum)
Is anyone successfully running CFS2 on Windows 11? If so, what settings are you using (or any advice/assistance)
The video card on the new computer is Intel UHD Graphics 730
Intel Core i5
16GB ram
Monitor is old Staples model with 1440 x 900 resolution
Thank you.
