Cursor Problem

Post by jing1113 » 2022-03-05 12:59, Saturday

First of all, thank you very much for your effort on the making this game resurrection.

I am using dxwnd to boot the game, the graphic is running good (except the video can just running in the top right hand corner, but it is ok for me). My problem is the mouse cursor cannot run properly. It the green arrow (game cursor) and the white arrow (windows cursor) cannot run together. Choosing menu and units is ok, but cannot depoly units. Please help me to solve this problem, thank you very much.

The best is to run the game with the patch included in the game, it gives you a better picture, higher resolution. If you run the game with dxwng the patch (draw dll) must be removed.
Please watch the video how to set up dxwnd.

The best way is to download the video via rigth mousekey.
You can try different settings to make the game work.

If this does not help please go to the dxwng forum and ask your questions, i do not use dxwnd. :howdy

Thank you for your reply. I installedd the 14 July version and copied the ddraw, the game work perfect (no cursor problem), but no video play. Then I installed quicktime, when play the videos (intro, victory etc.), there is only black screen (sound is normal), after clicked, the game keep run. That's why I tried DXWnd. Anyway, I am playing the 14 version and it is ok for me.

Hello, yes i know the problem with videos but did not found an solution. But i think its not really worth to surch endless for an solution to get the videos runnin, the game is 20 years old. As long as the the game is running its ok for me.so does the videos work with dxwnd ?

Yep, with the guys in dxwnd forum helping, the game run perfect with video, Yay! (Actually I did something wrong to make the problem exist, you can found in the discussion)

The method is simple: just download -> run dxwnd -> drag the exe file to the little dxwnd window, press ok and don't need to set anything.

One important thing, don't copy the QuickTime.qts in the folder

Below is my discussion in dxwnd
