Articulate Vlish xensaya Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix this, I'm trying to run Geneforge 1-3 on Windows 8, but I am unable to bring my resolution to 800x600. The game also isn't able to do it automatically. I've already checked my resolution options and it doesn't go that low. So is there a way to play them with a higher resolution? I'm trying to run the geneforge series I bought from steam. Windows 8 Pro Nvidia GTX 550Ti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk adc. Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Well, it slightly lacks details, does it display an error message or such? All I can recommend is, right click the Shortcut>Compatibility tab>Run game on 640x800 (was it?) resolution, and try setting the compatibility to Win 7, SP3 etc. hope this helps. ----- -Nightwatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I would recommend trying the wrapper utilities listed in the top response of this superuser question. I would imagine win8 will complicate things, but a wrapper seems to be the best solution to older SW games and having decent resolutions.

Fledgling Fyora AngryVic Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I might have found a solution to this. I was trying to run avernum 4 on my new win 8 machine and it gave me a message saying I had to run with 16 bit color. if you right click the executable file for the game go to properties and then go to the compatibility tab you can choose reduced color mode. after I did this it fired right up.
