Due to some demand where people want to know how to get Comanche Gold to run on modern computers, I've uploaded a patch that me and a couple of others have been working on. All credit goes to Bugswatter for the original patch archive and Tính for testing and feedback on Windows 10. * Download the Comanche Gold Patch Pack (with docs).zip and follow the readme file in the .zip.

These are the most important files to run Comanche Gold today! Thank you FLYBOY! I prefer dgVoodoo 2 video emulator instead of DXGL - copy paste install and gives 1280x1024, - highest possible resolution http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/ufo :-)

Hi FLYBOY! This is how to use DgVoodoo instead of DXGL in Comanche Gold First you download Dgvoodoo 2.53 from http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html, then open the Zip file and copy "dgVoodooSetup.exe" and every .dll file in the "MS" folder into your Comanche Gold folder. The launch "dgVoodooSetup.exe" and set "Config folder" in the upper left corner to your Comanche Gold folder, you can also adjust the setting to your liking if you want. all credits are for GamingPrince83 Comanche Gold - Graphic Enhancements with Reshade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2xws37mA7kAll Best and a clear sky for you and Comanche Gold ufo :-)

Hi Dragon36, I've never ran into that particular problem myself but I'm led to believe that running the game through DXGL should fix it. It'll fix the distorted colors issue if not the squashed screen. You don't need to change any settings in DXGL, simply creating a profile for the game is enough. Believe it or not but Comanche Gold works just as well, if not better, on modern hardware.

Hi Dragon36, Forgive me but I don't quite understand what you're saying. I didn't mention anything about Voodoo. I did mention the DXGL program and that should fix your squashed screen issue on your current operating system. As far as your XP system goes, as long as you have the WC3.MNU file from my fix package in the game directory, you'll have access to higher screen resolutions and detail from the in-game menu (press Esc when in a mission). I briefly delved into multiplayer many years ago but it was never really my thing. I wrote up a couple of articles on my website about my experiences which include the methods we used. Apologies if any of the info is outdated, but the programs involved are still available. http://flyboy.epizy.com/cg/cgtcp.htmlhttp://flyboy.epizy.com/cg/cgkali.html

The NT kernel (engine) has been used in consumer versions of Windows since XP, so will identify as a version of Windows NT. I don't know if I've ever ran into Quake giving me issues, but then again I always run it though WinQuake or D3DQuake or some program that makes it compatible with modern operating systems and offers more options. I've never had a problem with DF2 freezing either, but again I use modified EXE files or cracks where possible as it saves keep reaching for a disc or mounting virtual disc images and in some cases using cracks can be the only way a game will work on later versions of Windows, same as the issue with Comanche Gold. Feel free to check out my Comanche Gold website where you can find custom missions and useful programs. http://flyboy.epizy.com/cg/

Hi FLYBOY,
Sometimes I recall all Comanche Gold evolution, creativity, inventions and fun ... and this always makes me happy to feel as a part of it :-)
Thank you for this new Comanche Gold world!
