Title: [done]Installing and Setting up to play
Post by: DJTannerite on July 03, 2016, 08:30:45 PM

Hi there,

I downloaded War2Combat401 (ZIP) yesterday 7/2 and I started playing Warcraft 2 Just fine.  I did have a bit of trouble getting it to work but once I downloaded DirectX it seemed to work fine until this morning.

When I logged on my comp today, the game wouldn't load.  I click on War2Combat and I receive this error  "Direct Draw Error".  I am using an onboard motherboard GPU if that makes any difference. 

Not sure what else to add.

Thanks,
DJTannerite

P.S.
Windows 7

Let's get me details on which ddraw.dll you replaced to fix the colors. Send me a link or the files you used?

I don't believe I understand what your saying.  I didn't do anything other than download directx and the files from War2 website.  I didn't intentionally do anything to the colors

So you download directx from war2? I think the only things we host related to directx is the color fixes, ddraw.dll.

You should get those files from microsoft, check for updates, restart pc, etc.

Ah yes it would appear a simple restart did the trick...  Thanks for the Help!
