However, being an older game, frame rate is tied to game speed, so having it off renders the game unplayable. Sometimes when I turned turned off the frame limiter the text flickered less and stayed on the screen longer. The game has an internal frame limiter, which is toggled with the "L" key. I did make an interesting observation though. I tried different GDI modes and DirectX settings, but still no luck. I experimented with different settings and found that forcing "Auto Primary Surface Blit" seemed to make the missing text visible perfectly but for only a few seconds until you move the turret, then there's some flicker, once you shoot the gun the text disappears and intermittently flickers. The "Shield" text displays just fine, with no flickering. However with the unmodified settings above my UI looks like this (see attachment) However I'm having an issue the ingame UI text.įor reference the UI should look like this: I used dgvoodoo to hook the menu exe and DxWnd for beachhead16 exe. Using just the config for beachhead16, I was able to get beach head 2000 working just fine in Windows 10. When running the 3D engine, the resolution is recovered and at the end when BH2.ews is started again, the resolution DOES NOT change any more. If I restore BH2.ews and start start BH2002.exe, the screen resolution DOES change, but only the first time. If I start BH2.ews alone, the screen settings do not change. This is weird! if I rename BH2.ews and start BH2002.exe alone, the screen settings do not change.

I replaced the whole set of files and now the game works!!! I got it: patched exe requires its patched level files.


You can even run it alone, though nothing starts when it terminates.īH2.exe is a desperate case: it keeps crashing, no matter what version I place in the BH2Game folder. The only problem is that at the startup it keeps changing the screen resolution, even with the strongest options! I need a better investigation, that should NOT happenĪbout BH2.ews, it is the only part that works wothout problems. Very good the idea of setting the BH2002.exe window size to 1x1 pixel: this way even if it's not invisible as it should be, it doesn't bother you.
