I'd think it's disc protection than anything else.

Crysis 1 crashes on Windows 10 PCs with AMD Ryzen CPUs. Why is that and can someone help me hex edit the executable or DLLs instead of downloading the fixed CrySystem.dll from PCGamingWiki to fix this crash on start? Why is that?

Re: Crashday (2006) won't start on Windows 10

Find and install a crack. Sometimes old DRM doesn't work on modern Windows and cracking the game is the only way to get it running. SecuROM (which is the protection used by Crashday and only in EU release) works perfectly fine on modern Windows, don't spread misinformation, please. the Russian and …

well, without dgVoodoo 2, I have the same problem, no videos during intro (even with the Indeo 5 codec installed/registered to the system), so even on modern system, the game is not 100% perfect, you have to tweak it. It should work on Windows 95/98 (XP too probably) without all of these because the …

for Nocturne, did you installed Ligos Indeo Codec 5.11 : https://www.free-codecs.com/download/indeo_codec.htm ?
