Hello
I have a problem running Forsaken on Windows 98 and ME. The game starts and three ads play. Then, when the introductory video is about to appear, the game shows the error shown in the photo. The game runs without problems on Windows XP 32 bit Pentium 4 2.8 GHz + 1 GB RAM + GeForce 7600 GT.

System Win 98 SE ==> Pentium II 350 MHz + 64 MB RAM + S3 Trio 3D 2x 8 MB VRAM Direct X 9.0c
System Win ME ==> Celeron 1000 MHz + 128 MB RAM + GeForce 2 MX 400 64 MB VRAM Direct X 9.0c GPU drivers 53.04

RETRO Soyo SY-5XA + Pentium 166MMX + 32 MB RAM + S3 Trio 3D 4 MB VRAM + ESS AudioDrive ES 1869F

MODERN MSI MPG Z690 EDGE WIFI DDR4 + I7 12700K (stock UV) + 48 GB RAM 3600 MHz DDR4 + RTX 4070 Ti 12 GB VRAM

any ideas? I also installed the codec pack 3.0.0 but it didn't help either.

Did you install the Forsaken Version 1.01 patch? There were various language versions.
