Hi,
I have recently tried to re-install EUII, FTG, AoD and DH on my previous comp and then on my new one when I bought it. Both computers have W10 with AMD graphics card and recent drivers. Then, yes, that was very very difficult to have everything working but it seems to be ok now. Czudak's statement proved to be priceless, but I would like to add something. Even when I did what he said, I still had problems. Game could launch at once, and when you try the day after, it may not launch. I discovered that if I change the file T-fighter a-fire c-ali l-1 d-se.bmp, which is the third in size in the bmp directory, it's ok. The number of frames is quite high but the width (8100 octets) should not be a problem; however, it was not ok before and was ok after (I did it several times). It really depends on your OS / AMD card / drivers, I think the situation is different for each player.
Also, at least for DH, or in order to have CORE mod working with AoD, I had to edit the register to change the data for the layers:
Ordinateur\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
C:\Games\Arsenal of Democracy\aodgame.exe (or whatever this entry is in your case)
$ DWM8And16BitMitigation WINXPSP3 Layer_ForceDirectDrawEmulation
C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Darkest Hour A HOI Game\Darkest Hour.exe (or whatever this entry is in your case)
$ DWM8And16BitMitigation WINXPSP3 Layer_ForceDirectDrawEmulation
Hope it helps somebody some day
