I can't get my copy of eurofighter typhoon gold edition to run on my Windows 7 64bit system.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Wow,you're still trying after 2 years? That's dedication. Looking on the Steam forums some are saying it ran for them in Win 7,for others it didn't. I'm guessing you may need a magical combination of hardware to get it to run.

Have a look here http://store.steampowered.com/app/283350#app_reviews_hash You may be able to figure something out from what guys are saying in the reviews.

I've now bought Eurofighter Typhoon gold and trying to make it work on Windows 10 64bit and guess what it isn't working.
Any suggestions?

thanks.

Someone posted this for the Steam version:

Full screen under windows 10 64 bit


1: Open the folder where Steam has installed the game.
2: Choose Config3dr2000.exe (Steam/steamapps/common/Eurofighter Typhoon)
3: choose 1024
4. Start the game in full screen

And then this:

What you need to do is:
1) Double-click the reg file from the game folder (must)
2) Run config3dr2000.exe (optional)
3) Right-click on the game in library list and select create a shortcut to your desktop
4) Run from the shortcut (must)

Note about shortcuts: If you use shortcut created by Steam, it runs is Windows 98 compatibility mode. If you make your own shortcut, you can set to any compatibility mode but you need to make sure you have admin rights and take ownership of the folder first. Steam shortcut tracks your game time but your own shortcut can be set to Windows 2000 mode or higher and runs better without Steam.

Offline mode is problematic. You need to run the game twice without exiting the first one. The first one will be dormant in memory but clicking the shortcut again will run the game. When online you only need to click once.

Hi,

Did you try by any chance dgvoodoo2 ? It is an extraordinary utility that solves many issues with old games.
I reinstalled Eurofigther Typhoon Gold on my PC (windows 8.1 64 bits) and got it running in no time. Best thing is you can even play in higher resolutions than the original ones.
You'll find the utility here : http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html
It's totally virus-free (I've been using it for many years).

After downloading dgvoodoo2, follow the instructions here : http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/QuickGuide.html

I can't guarantee you it's gonna work but it is certainly worth trying - plus you can use dgvoodoo2 with other games.
You'll find a pretty interesting forum here : https://www.vogons.org/viewforum.php?f=59&sid=2392f4a223c21c498c2eb1fee6ea356a

Hope that helps.

Fly safe,

Andromedius.

Here's a snippet from my game session for the sake of example.

Hi,

Sorry for asking the obvious but did you try to change the audio settings via the config.exe located in the game folder? There are different options you can apply (d3d sound, surround, 2d sound, and whatnot). I currently don’t run windows 10 so I’m afraid I can’t be of more help to you.

Fly safe,
