There is now a ddraw wrapper that works with M1 Tank Platoon II. By placing ddraw.dll and aqrit.cfg in the game folder and toggling one item within aqrit.cfg ColorFix = 1 ... the scrambled palette colors are gone! Of course this does not effect the crashes after missions.

Download web site: http://bitpatch.com/ddwrapper.html
(download link is at the top of the page just below 'Home of Aqrit's ddwrapper')

RealDDrawPath = AUTO
BltMirror = 0
BltNoTearing = 0
ColorFix = 1
DisableHighDpiScaling = 0
FakeVsync = 0
FakeVsyncInterval = 0
ForceBltNoTearing = 0
ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 0
NoVideoMemory = 0
SingleProcAffinity = 0
ShowFPS = 0

Any of you guys know a workaround in the event that I can't see ANYTHING on the main menu screen besides the awesome-looking background?
I tried the BAT file thing, patching plus the DDWrapper... Failed. Maybe there's something else about this?

My game runs just fine, but CTD at mission ending. I tried the Nov,12 2013 fix, but does not work. Any idea?

I can't say about the mission end CTD, but I'm more interested in figuring why I can't see the intro videos plus the menu options even with BAT mentioned here, patches and the like, please! So much so that I had to try and make a little petition to get this plus its prequel and a couple of other sims to be rereleased by Retroism and Night Dive Studios in the event that nothing worked...

I made a normal install and then played. I'm uzing that GlideWrapper by Zekenzak or something like that.

I STILL can't get the Main Menu screen or the opening movies to display AT ALL on my Windows 7 rig! Even with Ultimate installed, it won't display properly! Patches, DDWRAP, BAT file, Normal Install... NOTHING! And I whenever I try to make a screenshot, the damn image doesn't display its proper colors! You guys need to PLEASE help me! How can I fix this problem?! I would really appreciate it!

Well, while that has worked thus far... I can only do it in Windowed Mode. Any ideas? Am I not doing it right?

BTW, I've heard the Armored Cavalry's music before... But I never got the name of it.

I understand this is a long shot, but has anyone got the game working on Windows 10? I can't even get the setup file off the CD running, much less the game itself.

Where can I get a copy of M1TP2 from? I still have the manual but no idea where the disk went.

Does it use securom? You know Microsoft disabled Securom? Microsoft said it was a security risk and only a few games used it anyway. Well, far more than just a "few" games used it and if they care so much about security why do they use WU to install Flash for IE with no uninstaller?

But you can Securom running again with this command.

To start it;

sc config secdrv start= demand
sc start secdrv

To stop it;

sc stop secdrv
sc config secdrv start= disabled

Hey, how's the best way I can get Dxwnd to work with M1 Tank Platoon II and on fullscreen? As somehow, it tends to crash fullscreen when I try to use some of the best options. Could use a little elaboration here and there on how best to pull it off.

I just read an ad for M1 tank platoon 2 for $29.99 that has been modified to run on windows 10. The seller seems to have a good rep so I am considering buying it. Has anyone else done so?

Can you let us know if it works I would love to play it again a bit of retro gaming mite be fun.
The Armour sim I play now is far more realistic but M1TP2 is one of my all time favourite games /not sim

I think he's referring to Steel Beasts Pro...indeed a very nice simulator, but lacks a campaign that was used in M1TP2. Not that a campaign lacking in Steel Beasts Pro is a criticism, as there are hundreds of single and multiplayer scenarios available to download.

That's correct I play SB now its a far better simulator then M1 but M1 will always have a special place on my top ten games /sims of all time.

I'll definitely try out SB at some point, but... But two questions remain: How can I play M1 Tank Platoon II to play on DxWND without CTD'ing in Fullscreen mode? [Which I can only play it in Windowed mode at this time]
And does anyone know what the Armored Cavalry's music is called when you select them for a Campaign?

I just installed M1 Tank Platoon II to do some testing.

Running:
Windows 10 Pro x64 Anniversary Edition.
Version 1607
OS Build 14393.321
Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.16GHz
Ram 4GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2GB GDDR5

Full Custom install of M1PT2

Movie files YES
War College files YES

I knew from looong before that the movies were a no no, but I checked both movies and college files during install anyways just for testing.

Applied Patch 1.2

Installed DxWnd v2.03.92.fx2

I will edit this post when I get a chance BUT after pressing the space bar to get through the intro videos,
I am at the main screen (at full screen) and I can set everything up with mouse visible too.

Went through the 1st training mission running d3d mode full screen and had no issues.
Went through all different positions (I have the get a pdf manual as I forgot all the keys)

I will post some screens of the settings for DxDwnd tomorrow.

P


EDIT - I haven't run the 1st mission yet to check for any ctd's but will try it tomorrow
