Hogs Of War - Windows 10 Set-Up Guide
由 Bobby 制作
Hello everyone. As a voluminous Hogs Of War fan, I've noticed that Hogs Of War on PC is wavering in terms of guides and tutorials to help set up the game for Windows 10.
As someone who has nearly 10,000 hours in Hogs Of War, I wanted to present a finding I had discovered to get it running for me on Windows 10.
Now, bearing in mind there are plenty of other tutorials on the guides section, in terms of Windows 10. However this was the one that worked for my computer specifically, so overall results will be dependent on the PC itself.
But without further ado, let me show you what I did.

Windows 10 Fix (Step By Step Guide)
So, first you'll need to go the following link, addressed below:
https://www.gamepressure.com/download.asp?ID=77539

Next, scroll down to the Files for Hogs of War and select the "Hogs Of War - Widnwos 10 Fix" file. Click 'Free Download' at the top. There will be a timer, in order for the website to locate the files to you. Once that's done, you'll want to click "Download from Metro". A download file, called "hogsofwarwin10fix" should start to process.
Once that's done you'll need to extract the files to a temporary space, say a desktop or folder.

These are the contents found in the extracted file. I have noticed that there is the file "Lisez Moi", which leads to a guide published a little while ago by another user. Which may well lead me to believe that this may be linked to another patch from a very long time ago. However I will stress/advise this patch was created in 2021, so a little more recently than some of the others.


Once you have extracted the files you'll need to transfer them over to your main Hogs Of War portal via Steam, by going to Steam > steamapps > common > HogsofWar.
You can either copy the files or transfer them straight away. Once you do that, you'll need to replace the files.


Something that I had to do in order for my Hogs of War game to run a little more smoothly, was change the compatibility mode. For me I changed it from Windows 95 to Windows 8.
Now, this worked for my PC specifically, because I'm running a specific version of Windows 10, and it might not work for another one necessarily. So if needs be, experiment with the compatibility settings to see which ones work best for you.


If everything goes accordingly, and you're able to boot up the game, then you're in.
The only thing to notate with this patch is that there is a somewhat notable slowdown on certain menus, one of which being the local multiplayer lobby screen (when you're selecting the amount of players and/or CPU's).

Now before I wrap this guide up, I will just say two things;
One, this worked for my PC specifically. So, depending on the components of another PC, you may need to tinker/experiment with a few assets beforehand (again, changing the compatibility was my breakthrough).
And two, I do have access to the original app as well through Steam and can access it normally.
However, I've noticed not everyone can do that. Again, I'm on a very specific version of Windows 10, which has granted me normal access through Steam. I mainly use this version described here, say if I want to record some footage for various purposes.

If anyone has questions, feel free to ask them and I'll try to get back to them.
If anyone has any comments, again, feel free to leave them here.

Otherwise, thank you very much!

Appreciate the wording you gave here. It turns out I need to brush up on my technological terminology.
I will admit, the music being silenced is a problem. On the flipside, however, I think the music is too loud, by default, and cannot be adjusted by volume. Some copies also tend to fast forward certain tracks (so for example, British 4 into American 1 and Disembark 4 into Victory, in terms of musical theme jingles). For me, though, I'm okay without it, but I can definitely see this as a potential downside.

Ok, I've got it running now, Apart for the music everything is running fine.


instead of extracting everything to the game file. i only left the _inmm238.exe out, then installed the program onto the game file,

Also adding, when extracting, tick update files instead of replace.

i think that's where i was messing up, just unfortunate the music isn't working

To answer the question truthfully, I would say no. Some things I could suggest however are:

-) You could try changing the compatibility of the programme? One thing I had to do to get it working was set compatibility from Windows XP to Windows 8. That did the trick for me, although most PCs don't function on that option. But it is something you could try, as per mentioned in the guide.That said, I've heard Windows XP compatibility is often considered everyone's go to.

-) One other thing you can try is to load the file known as 'warhogs_.exe' - that file is an administrator file, which works for me also. Say if the main .exe file isn't working. You could also add the compatibility changes there, and see if that will fix it.

Unfortunately, as I have discovered during my time with this game (which has been from Autumn 2017 up until now), not all PC's are equal. I think this is where I got/am getting lucky, because my PC has older parts and was originally a Windows 7 PC.

Did this work the 1st time you tried it? I've downloaded and extracted the files but now the game wont launch and freezes windows.

As do I. You could try windowed mode? Although I'm still trying to work that one out myself.

I wish there could be a widescreen solution for this game

As far as that is concerned, there is the occasional slowdown.
For the music that can easily be resolved in one of two ways. Either rename the clips, or delete the folder entirely for no music whatsoever.
Otherwise, everything should be as normal.

does the game still have issues when played? Like missing audio, crashing, generally unfinished?

Hey there, everyone! So an update for this guide, that arose to me but had failed to specify.
If there is an " _inmmcnf " file in the folder then that will need to be installed.
Another worthy note is you might want to try the usual trick of running in Windows 95 compatibility.

So sorry for the late update - this was sent to me over 3 months ago, and I failed to mention it until now. Sincerest apologies. Feel free to try these tricks and see if it gets the game running.

And, just remember, this is for Windows 10. Furthermore, there is a tutorial on setting the game up for Windows 11, in the Hogs Of War Steam discussions tab, created by another user.

Hey there. I haven't tried it on Windows 11 yet as, unfortunately, my computer won't allow me to upgrade to that system currently. However, I have seen a tutorial in the discussion forums on a potential set-up for that version, created by an old Hogs PC player, who recently found a way to get it up and running.
