Hey, guys! First of all, this is not a question, this is a solution. I believe this will be useful for many people.

 

I have installed Steam version of Stronghold Crusader on my new laptop which runs Windows 10. When I tried to start the game, it just wouldn't work. No error, no nothing. When I tried to run Stronghold Crusader from the Steam folder:

D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stronghold Crusader Extreme

then I got the error code 0xc0000022. I tried with changing compatibility settings, and it didn't work. It wasn't about that.

 

You need to enable Direct Play, because having it off is what's causing the issue.

 

Go to Control Panel, then find Turn Windows features on or off, and under Legacy Components check DirectPlay, and then hit OK. Wait for a while for your PC to finish with everything, and the PC will need to reboot as well. It's all done in few minutes.

Good to know, EaglePrince.

 

I have read somewhere that Windows 10 is incompatible with some of the older SH games and that is exactly the reason why I am still holding off on upgrading my system.

 

Do you know how it works with the other games? SH2 and SHL?

Well, yes, this might be what they were speaking about, but luckily it wasn't actually about compatibility, but about one necessary option being disabled at Windows 10 by default.

 

I don't know about Stronghold 2 and Stronghold Legends, but I will hopefully check that tomorrow. I'll be busy, but if I forget, please remind me to do it. :) Now it's late, but tomorrow when I come home I can try to install them, and see how they work.

      Come one, come all! We have arrived to another milestone, as a new game's tough shell has been cracked open: Stronghold 2 has given its own Lord Editor! This version of the Legends Lord Editor has been adapted to SH2 and redesigned in its outlook. Alter the lords at your own leisure, while enjoying the generally darker atmosphere of SH2 with burgundy buttons and embellished parchment panels. Newfound additions to the editor are improvements in the design, as well as a lot

    • Stronghold Legends Screenshots

      Does anyone recognise these screenshots? I've been forwarded a link to a website by @ Average tahiti enjoyer initially speculating this was a mod, but I can find lots of different examples of the exact same screenshot being used on other websites so I'm beginning to wonder if it was released by Firefly instead, possibly as some kind of demo. I couldn't find any download links, at least on that website. I like this build and think it would be good to have as a mod of some kind.

    • How about Stronghold Crusader Definitive Edition?

      Hey, guys, check this out?   Age of Empires Definitive Edition   It looks really cool to me, and in the matter of fact - far batter than many of those HD editions of many games, even Stronghold Crusader. I mean, this isn't only about enabling higher resolutions, and making the game to look better on wide screens and laptops, this is, as they say, almost all new or remastered textures, and improved mechanics. At least so they say.   So then I though, it would be awesome to have a Definitive Ed
