Great, thanks. I think I'll give it a try. My biggest concern is actually switching saves between versions, in any game.
Was wondering if anyone would know how to fix an error of switch to resolution failed screen dx11 could not switch old version of game works fine??? Any help would be much appreciated

Unfortunately there's no way around that with this game. In order to continue any new version that gets released, you'll have to copy all the files from the "savegames" folder of the earlier version and paste them into the "savegames" folder in the updated version.

Right now I am in the middle of running a few tests to determine the actual cause of the problem, but that will take a few hours for me to complete.
The only thing that I can recommend at present is to uninstall your video card drivers and reinstall them with the software provided by the manufacturer of the video card, motherboard or PC.
Don't allow your video card to search for or install any new updates and make sure that you don't download updates for your video card through Windows Updates.
Until I can recommend a better solution once I've done my testing, that's the only thing I can suggest.

What you could try is uninstall the version of DX that you have and install version 9. I've suggested to a few others to try that and it didn't work for them. Maybe it will work for you.

Well, there you go! I was able to get it to play in VMware and I didn't do anything special other than update the OS.
This is what's installed:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.1
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30728.6161
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30728.4148
Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x64) - 14.14.26429
Theorica Divx ;-) Codecs (remove only)
Unity Web Player
DirectX v9
The display adapter the VM is using is a VMware SVGA 3D (naturally, since it's in a VM..)
This fix is going to require some registry modifications.
@Faerin
Here is the fix.. Since I don't use any other codecs, this can't be verified since you're probably using various different codecs. Some of them may be the problem.
Uninstall any codec pack you're using and restart your computer. You can reinstall them as needed later on.
Windows 10 users, In your search box, type: regedit
..and press the enter key.
Windows 7 users, click your "Start" button, in the search box, type: regedit
..and press the enter key or click "OK".
This will open up your registry editor. After you do this, you will need to restart your computer. This will allow your computer to, for lack of a better word, "forget" that DirectX is installed since you will be installing version 9.
Delete the following registry key:
Exit the registry editor and restart your computer.
After restart, install DirectX 9. Although you don't have to, you could restart your computer again.
Install Unity Web Player and install The-Codecs.
I would also recommend uninstalling your video card drivers and reinstalling the drivers that came with the PC, motherboard or card. Don't allow it to update and don't allow Windows Updates to install its drivers.
If you don't have a CD with the drivers you need, search for video card drivers from the system manufacturer's website, the manufacturer of your video card or motherboard.
Now try playing MotH.
Set your monitor's resolution to the highest setting it will go and make sure that the game's resolution matches.
Ex: 1024 x 768 (see rez.jpg)
