vascosnts Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Ok,i have a new computer and lost all of my content,i have to restart all again..well,in my old pc i play with direct x and all was fine,now it wont work with direct x only with opengl but image of game is really bad,any ideas to solve this?Thanks
Marburg Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 IIRC you should install the old DX8 drivers next to your current drivers. The various DX versions are not backward compatible (damn you Microsoft!) so the test fails if you have DX11 or DX12 installed.
vascosnts Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 So,if i install old dx8 drivers will my new pc have problems with an older V?Im really starting to get tired of the times that i have reinstalled this game in the last decade..dont know if i have patience to restart all again
Marburg Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 As far as i understand, the trouble is getting Windows to install the old drivers (and C++ runtime libraries IIRC) in the first place. Hook users have been struggling with this issue for years becuase Hook doesnt work with never DX versions. Once you clear the installation hurdle, it should not present other issues. But I'm "blessed" with an old PC and ditto GPU so i'm not an expert LOL
vascosnts Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 ok,thanks Marburg,dont know if im going to continue to play the game..
Marburg Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 oh come on.. dont give up so easily. the problem can be solved. im sure someone will have the exact procedure written down somewhere. It used to be on MG of course did you ask on the other place? alternatively, just keep your old PC on the side to run our game.
vascosnts Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 Im trying to repair my old pc,hope it can be saved,going to try,but im getting tired,my game was almost 5 stars with for me with all content from a lot of years,now,its gone

vascosnts Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 Just intalled directx9 but now how to make it to work with game
RidSol Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 About a year ago I built a new PC with a fresh W10 installation. I had no problems even without a Directx9 implementation... To try it out, I downloaded all the files for the game from the "Game" section today, installed a new portable version and added all files, including H5free -> no problems... But without the additional files in binaries there was an error.... Try again my friend, it will work for sure ?

With the default Windows driver, most games will either refuse to run, run unaccelerated, or at low resolution.

There are so many archives in there, I'm just not sure what I do. Do I run the DXSetup and that's it? Or do I have to drop files somewhere? I haven't had to do anything like this in ages, so I'm really lost here. (I'm trying to move my game to a different PC) I can run in OpenGL, but DirectX always leads to a crash on startup.

To get Hook 5 to work with Windows 10/11, you need both DirectX9c (don't worry, it doesn't replace DX11/DX12) and DotNet 3.51. Download from MS and simply run the installers.

Turns out when I changed my install to a different PC my Key Check for Hook 5 (Paid) failed. When I switched over to the basic version it worked fine. Thanks again though. I guess I will just have to re-join the patreon again someday if I want the full version back.

I had no idea he had released it for free after MG went down. Been out of the loop for a while.
