Как запустить settlers 4 на windows 10

Status

Supported on Windows 10

I am using the version of The Settlers IV from GOG.

Patch updated: October 1st, 2019

Problem

The problem I had with The Settlers IV was that the game gave an error on Windows 10, that said:

Software 3D: Error initializing Graphic Interface!
Software 3D Fehler beim Starten der Grafikausgabe!

Hardware 3D: Error initializing Graphic Interface!
Hardware 3D Fehler beim Starten der Grafikausgabe!

Solution

After looking at each DirectDraw function call that the game called, before it errored out, I was able to find out that the issue was with the GetCaps function. I isolated it to the dwVidMemTotal and dwVidMemFree values of the DDCAPS structure. It seems that the video memory was too much for the game to handle. I added a fix here to limit the video memory size that is seen by the game.
