me to use win 7 Ultimate 64 bit but game dont work with me
Unfortunately you're not the only one that's having problems. A lot of Windows 10 users are also. Right now I can't give you an answer on a fix until I finish running some more tests in a virtual environment.

What might help me would be if you would be so kind as to tell me what video card you're using?

Ok so I've been missing ONE picture for Veronica for a while now. It's the one of her doing laundry in her normal clothes. I noticed a few updates ago (or maybe I had finally progressed Veronica enough for this, I dunno) that we can get the option to choose which clothes Veronica can wear when she does chores. Was able to use this to get one of the other normal clothed pics I had missed (I think the kitchen one), but if you pick normal clothes for laundry, it still shows her in her maid outfit. I also need this to get the last check for the "Make her work" achievement. Dunno if this issue has come up with anyone else, so I'd appreciate any help (or a bugfix if it is indeed a repeatable bug).
I have the same problem did you find a fix?

If someone could be kind enough to post a general message in the thread that @Faerin and I are working on a solution to the graphics issue that everyone is experiencing, that would be awesome to avoid a repeat post that there's an issue and it's being looked into.

Well, here's where things get really weird. I have another desktop which is attached to my KVM.. That system is an HP Compaq 4000 small form factor and uses an Intel B43 chipset with only 2GB of RAM installed. I just FTP'd the folder with the latest version over to it to try to play, thinking I was going to run into the graphics issue that I've been seeing everybody else having. I didn't run into any problems playing it. And that hardware is a lot older than what I'm running on the rig I built myself. lol

latest, but this time the game tried to access some system files and got blocked by comodo HIPS, so i moved the game to my VM
And that's when you ran into the problem of the game not loading.. Okay, that's an easy fix. I use ESET Endpoint Antivirus and it's never flagged any of the files from this update. So I can rule out any potential malware or other software/files that may make any system changes. So what I would recommend is you add the folder for MotH to Comodo's Exclusion list and try seeing if the game will load.

I know, right?? I honestly expected to see a problem immediately after I clicked play but the splash screen loaded right away. So I'm sitting here scratching my head thinking, "WTF?!!?" :)

BTW, I haven't added any new hardware to it. As old as that thing is (and slow as hell), I don't see the point sinking any money into it. If I'm going to buy hardware, it's going to be for another build. I'll give this snail of a comp to my son. lol

Okay, so we can safely eliminate the graphics card as being the problem. The Dell doesn't have any other hardware installed other than what it came with. My first thought was that maybe.. just maybe.. a graphics card capable of handing 3D graphics might have been the issue. But after testing it on the Dell (which doesn't have a high end 3D graphics card installed), that's the wrong conclusion.

So the next step is in determining if it's related to DX.

i wonder if it is newest drivers for thier video cards last year my heroes game would not work at all on newest video driver but i have to go back 3 versions ( nvidia all my home pc's are AMD and nvidia video)
-----------
also though of another thing it sounds stupid but it does affect some games
if they have 7.1 suround sound on thier computer change the settings to 5.1
that fixed a few games for me in the pas

That could be. I know ATI used to use Catalyst Control Center and that caused a ton of issues on my desktop (the biggest being the screen would go black for about 10 seconds or so every minute). So after I uninstalled the drivers for my old Radeon (before I upgraded the adapter to what I use now) to use the Crimson edition of the drivers, everything ran smoothly after that.

why game dont work in windows 7
Isn't only with Windows 7, it's happen in few computers, have imcompatibility, and We don't know why this happens, some players found the solution in the google, and others follow the solutions here in the thread, and solved ;););) And I need to add, it is not always the same solution, so it can always be difficult to figure out what fixes the problem :confused:

@THADEADMAN just gave me an idea that might possibly resolve this problem for those of you dealing with the resolution issue.

Uninstall your video card drivers and use the drivers that came with your PC, motherboard or expansion card. Don't allow your drivers software to look for updates and do not allow Windows Update to get the latest drivers.

If that works for you, please let me know. Thank you! :)

And many thanks to THADEADMAN for the idea!
