Ok gents. Wanted to chip in here, as I finally got my NOLF 1 GOTY up and running yesterday on Windows 10 Pro 1709 (Fall Creator's Update; FCU) on my Alienware 17 R2 laptop (incl. an Alienware Graphics Adapter (AGA), containing an EVGA GTX 1080 Ti) with a 3440 x 1440 x 32 resolution.
I was struggling a lot at first, all the time running into the "Client MFC Application has stopped working" error. Here is the setup that finally did it for me:
Compatibility settings on both the NOLF.exe and the lithtech.exe files to XP SP 2. No other compatibility would do it for me.
Running both these files as admin.
Installed DirectX 8 (although I think it didn't make a difference - but listing it here nevertheless).
Nothing checked / all unchecked in the "Advanced..." section of the NOLF.exe launcher.
Within the "Display..." section, on startup I always have to choose a lower than my 3440 x 1440 x 32 resolution. Launching it at this resolution setting will result (yet again) in the "Client MFC Application has stopped working" error. So I choose my EVGA GTX 1080 Ti on the left hand side (as opposed to "Primary Display Driver"), and as the initial resolution 1024 x 768 x 32.
This allows me to launch the game - and I afterwards in game can change the resolution to 3440 x 1440 x 32.
In case anyone is interested, the important settings of my NVIDIA Control panel:
Specific settings for lithtech.exe: I deliberately disabled V-sync (thus overriding my global settings).
Just a quick sidenote: Within the launcher window of NOLF.exe, I can only successfully click either the "Display..." or the "Advanced..." button. Once I have been in either of their sub-menus, clicking on the other button will not result in anything. So I normally click "Advanced..." first, then quit the launcher - and after re-launching it go into the "Display..." section, then immediately launch the game itself. I later never have to go into the "Advanced..." section again - but the "Display..." section every time (as described above) upon launch.
Thought I'd list these steps here in case anyone is as frustrated as I was during set up.
