Is there any information about it in the event logs?

Due to it being originally made for Windows XP it runs best in that mode also running it as administrator makes it work properly.

I assume you are running it in compatibility mode (windows XP)

It's the patch that Monolith released at the time.

We have it in our downloads HERE

You can also download it from our downloads HERE

Without knowing the source of the download, Have you installed all the patches?? Installed the modernizer. I'd suggest downloading it from our downloads, install our version and download and install the modernizer, also in our downloads. We would then be in a better position to assist if you have any issues with our versions vs. random veresion.

Welcome

As the Mac version was a port from the Windows version by MacPlay I don't believe its source was ever released.

June 17, 2026 - email from UHQ Greetings from UnityHQ, Hope you all are having a good almost summer/winter (depending on where you are in the world). We've added links for the NOLF, NOLF2 and Nightfire servers to the forum menu. They are accessible on the top of the forum. The master server for NOLF and NOLF 2 has changed. They are now using OpenSpy. To play multi-player grab the latest Modernizer for NOLF and NOLF2 they have been updated to point to the OpenSpy master server. If you have any issues or need help post on the forum. We recently did a major upgrade on the forum. Take a moment to check it out. This ensures we can continue to bring you the best experiences with keeping your passion for the NOLF games alive. I encourage all of you to join our DISCORD. The server fund needs help ASAP as monthly donations have fallen off the radar (almost none the last couple of months). With our hosting renewal coming soon this is concerning. We also use donations for improvements to the forum and downloads. Please use one of the donation buttons (PayPal or Patreon) on the forum to contribute. Why donate to UnityHQ community. Thank you for your time. Eliteone and the UHQ staff.

Confused on this comment: "Part of the problem was that confidence Eliteone had in dgvoodoo2." I mentioned dgvoodoo2 cause the error you posted. Seems it was right. I'm assuming you went and grabbed a newer one than what we have here on the UHQ downloads and what was in the NOLF you installed and that caused the issue. Starting over and sticking with the version that works with NOLF resolved the issue. Moral of this is just because there is a newer version of a driver or other third-party app/tool etc. test after updating it and if it stops something from working revert back to previous version. Anyways glad you worked through it. As Larry said forums are for a collaboration, in this case to try to work through an issue. We all are here because of our fondness for these games and the desire to keep playing them.

At this point if you have compared the hardware between the two, the event logs between the two and can't find a difference you may need to reach out to the revival site for support. I'm not involved with that site, so I don't know what is different in them. Can you revert the non-working one to Windows 11 25H2? Part of the problem is you're using "beta" insider version of Windows 11 which introduces another unknown to the mix.

You'll have to Google it as the hardware now obviously wasn't around when NOLF was released. At the time none of the integrated Intel video supported it. I have to ask you at this time are you expecting me to solve this for you? I gave you some "homework" in my last post yet you went to immediately asking me for more information. Not trying to be rude but this has to be a team effort as I don't have access to your computers. You said it works on one laptop but not the other. Since I informed you the onboard (intel) won't run it most likely. Have you checked to see which video each laptop is using? If the working one is using the Nvidia then case solved. Did you reach out to MSI support or look in your laptop manuals on how to set the video output to be the Nvidia only yet?

It stands for Hardware Transform and Lighting (T&L) NOLF games won't run on video outputs that don't support it. You would need to check your computer manual (MSI I assume) to see how to set it to use the Nvidia video for output. It's probably set in the computer BIOS. (Again, consult computer manual or MSI support for the specifics) I don't have one of them so don't know exactly how they set it. You should be able to contact them for the specifics if you don't have a manual that tells you.

There were some Intel integrated graphics that didn't support the T&L needed by the NOLF games. Are both set to use the Nvidia? Please be patient with my responses as I've had some RL obligations that take priority over solving this for you (apologies)
