Try older drivers, 45.23 are pretty good for compatibility.

Back to my old pc, tried 45.23 but now luck, still grey crap on screen. Then i tried to play game without patch, and it works!

First time here, just bought the game but cannot get it to work. I tried the Windows 7 patch but that didnt work, keeps crashing before it can even start.

CPU: Intel i7-4790K
GPU: GTX 970
RAM: 16Gb DDR3-1600
Chipset: Z97
OS: Windows 7 Pro x64

Is there a way to get it to work on my system? I tried the dgVoodoo 1.50b but that didnt work.

Got it to work with the latest WIP6.
Re: dgVoodoo 2 for DirectX 11

You need to run only one display to make it work though. When the video plays in each mission it starts to lag big time but runs fine after that so far. Have only tested the first mission.
