I don't remember windows 11 being released in 2016...

It works perfect for me in Win10 (albeit with win7 compatibility enabled).

not starting at all, might pirate it after all. i mean find an alternative way to run said game.

this is a really dumb fix, and I'm going to create a guide, but what you have to do to fix this is go find the executable "HOTD_NG" and add x86 to the end of it "HOTD_NGx86" and it will launch, alot of people say you have to run it under integrated graphics but i can't actually get it to run under integrated, the performance is too poor.

being able to freely launch the game is something so many people on these forums have commented on, i myself with win10 had to find workarounds to get it going. it does not "works perfect" if it requires enabling compatibility in the executable properties.

the person you're responding to was not implying win 11 was available back in 2016 (seriously, do you even read or are you being a bad troll?) but that this launch issue dates back as far as 5 years ago for users on win 10.

i bought this game and it wont start #2021 chirstmas XD yaaay i did the x86 thing i even went into the game properties and verified the content i have no clue how to get this game how to work

Thanks a lot man! It works great on windows 10. I had followed the other tutorials, but the game ran too badly with the Intel graphics . It's crazy that the devs don't do anything about the compatibility issues, even though the game is a bit dated, I was close to getting a refund.

Dose not work 😅

I recently bought a laptop for work.

I wanted to see how it doesn't want to start on a laptop.
On my desktop without integrated GFX I just had to turn off Nvidia Overlay. I did it too on the laptop & yep... doesn't work. Turned off XBOX overlay thing, norton warning.. Still didn't want to boot up. Adding up x86 to the end of the name did the trick.

So i tried a multitude of fixes, including adding the x86 to the end. That is the one that worked for me to get it to launch, the only issue I have now is that it won't launch from Steam. I have to actually select that application from the local folder or else it recreates the original file without the x86. So, those of you that are having trouble launching it after that fix, try launching it directly from the local folder after adding the fix. :)
