Hello folks. I would not post this, if i had not tried everything i came across so far on suggestions on the internet.
After loosing my DH cd years back, aswell as my old PC, i decided to grab DH again today.
I got DH from steam, installed it on my Win10 machine, did not update (so its 1.04).
I activated direct play. Set .exe to run 16-bit, administrator, changed settings.cfg to windowed mode.
Copied ddraw.dll and aqrit.cfg to DH folder... Started right from .exe, and with launcher too (intro disabled).
Repaired and re-installed it.
So far, every single try gives me a black infinite loading screen, while the windowed mode tries gave me a white
window infinite loading.

Anymore suggestions before i refund it with a broken heart?
I loved this game, and want to give it some hours while im ill at home.
P.S. on my system i run old games, like Jagged Alliance 2 and Fallout 1-2,
so really no idea why DH would not work.
