So am I, but the differences in our hardware must be coming into play somehow.

With W10 I have not needed to use the d3dwindower or a glide wrapper.
I seemed to recall that there were problems with the d3d windower in some of the early W10 builds, but I just tried it again and it worked well.
It has been a solution to selection screen graphics problems in W7, so it is worth giving it a try in W10 wink

I have just put a "D3DWinEng.exe" (7-zip) on the download page.

wink

Well I am getting closer! I now have the screen in a windowed state, however my cursor disappears and if I left click it throws me out and crashes to desktop.

These might seem silly questions but

1. Is your joystick plugged in?
2. What level is your windows user account control set to?

I asked about the User Account Control (UAC)




If it is not set to zero then windows may spit the dummy when the eaw.exe tries to update the "eaw.ini" file.

Sadly it made no difference....my mouse cursor starts out in the upper right portion of the EAW window, and as soon as I attempt to move the mouse it disappears. The second I click the left mouse button it crashes and EAW disappears.

I don't know how difficult it would be to stop using SLI, but maybe that configration is causeing you problems.
Or perhaps is configured wrong for this game. Maybe try a basic default setting...
Just my 2 cents as I'm unfamiler with dual vid cards, or 4k monitors.

I did everything exactly as you have it Shogun, and the menu comes up ETO "late" with nothing on the right side, then as soon as I move the mouse cursor it disappears, and if I left click crash to desktop.

The Motherboard is an Intel DP55KG running an i7 870 2.93GHZ CPU 8gigs of RAM. The only thing I can think of is I am using the display port instead of HDMI to hook up my monitor.

When you 'install' the game make sure its on a 2nd HD or in the root folder path of your first drive...just as long as its not in program files folder. This way you should have any problems.

After you delete your old EAW folder, I would use CCleaner that you can dl for free. I know this one removes the old EAW registry settings that Windows puts in. And don't set any Compatibility settings in the shortcut Tab to EAW, this will interfere with the operation of the game.

Well D, as in 2nd drive. That will work.

Just use a different folder name and clean your registry of EAW entry's.
On Windows 10 it not as important as say on WinXP or Win2000 but its good practice to remove those entries that are no longer in use, especially if you forget about them and you reuse the same folder location in the future.

See Win10 adds its own compatibility fix (similar, but not the same as the compatibility tab) Remember let 10 do its own setting, don't use the compat tab.
