Windows 11 and the NOLF games

[MajorPayne]

Just setup a windows 11 test box. Going to be setting up several older games, including the NOLF games on it to see how they run. 

Stay tuned to this thread for the results.

Ran  NOLF 2 on Windows 11 just fine last night. 

I'll be checking the other two games in the next couple of days.

I had no problems with Nolf1 on Windows 11. I was using DGVoodoo2 (v2.75.1 -- the latest when I posted this) and the Modernizer mod. I'll need to run through the whole game to see if there are any unexpected gotchas, but it loads and works.

Note: You may need to adjust your display settings the first time. The game didn't like the defaults, but setting things closer to my native resolution worked.

Note: My Windows 11 Pro install was an upgrade from Windows 10 Pro. I mention it as that might make a difference for someone else.

No problems with NOLF1 and NOLF2 using RTX 3070 and Wiindows 11 with modernizer mod

CJ crashes, cant extract files with the tools , so Im looking for a solution to at least get the textures and models for NOLF2

How were you installing it? I was able to install CJ and the tools from the original discs (version 1.0 of the game) without an issue. Were you doing the same or using a different source?

hello passionate people

 

i wish to replay this game that i had so much fun decades ago

 

i have a TERRA laptop 

 

cpu : intel core i7 1355u
Ram : 32 Go
gpu : intel iris XE
SSD 

so i guess depsite its an integrated graphic chips of the CPU i should be able to run the game (i recently played MaxPayne 1 et 2 wtihout any slowness or bugs)

But here with NOLF 1 the game stars but many glitches on the screen, and as soon as i exit the 1st corridor the games crashes and exits , also the characters dont show up even in the cinematics , also the tires of the truck in the first intro scene 

what should i do ?

i have installed VOODOO FX, enabled the Direct3D, but how should i proceed for the game to the VOODOOFX and not my integrated intel ?

i guess i'm missing a few steps to have the game running smooth (i downloaded the game from  http://www.abandonware-france.org it has already the modernizer mod (and FR patch) the game version seems to be version 5

what do you advise me ?

thanks all in advance

Are you running the game in compatibility mode?
