16-bit color mode for running DH windowed on win10

[Svampen]

Anyone know how?
I've tried the only way i know and that is to run in reduced color mode in the compability properties but it doesn't seem to work. The windowed mode is still greyed out in the launcher.

Launcher doesn't trigger the compatibility mode for whatever reason. Set the compatibility color mode for Darkest Hour.exe instead and edit settings.cfg manually. Then launch the game directly without the launcher.

I cant even play windowed mode anymore on my new monitor, because the scren's resolution is 1366x768 and playing on windowed either crashes the game or doesnt start it at all.

Ive never seen something as stupid as that to be honest.

I have similar problems, it runs but it either crashes soon or it ins't usable because windows' things are in the way.

A problem is that the Windows Taskbar and the process bar can't be simply be taken out (or I don't know how), so 768 windowed is not really 768. There are a few programs that adress the bar in the top with varying results, but I know that can get rid of the damned windows taskbar.

I tried it for literal hours, there is no way to fix it. So my only answer can be to go back to VGA and my old pc screen, even though thats not the goddamn point.

I think it could be made to work if one finds a way to get rid of the Windows Taskbar and the Titlebar.
The Titlebar is easier, there are a few program that work for this, like Borderless Gaming.
But I never found a way to get rid of the Windows Taskbar.

I imagine this will leave a 5-10 pixels of 'hidden' taskbar on screen. There are probably settings to disable the display of taskbar completely from the global policy keys within win10 or some new version of tweakUI.
Dunno if this will fix troubles of running a windowed 1366x768 screen though.

I have the same experience what I do on yet for example I try to go in and out of the fullscreen (i do it mostly with the double click on the video) sometimes it works and I'm going on watching or I go out of the fullscreen (if it doesn't work) and go into fullscreen by clicking the fullscreen icon on the right bottom of the video, normally this fix it for me. Hope I can help even if it isn't the best solution
