Windows 10 compatibility with Dungeon Keeper 2

Hello,

My new PC uses WIndows 10 64-bit. I've just purchased Dungeon Keeper 2 and I had the same problem. I solved it by doing the following:

Firstly, make sure you have installed Patches 1.7 and Unofficial Patch 1.8

1 In your main Dungeon Keeper 2 directory, right mouse click on the DKII application icon. Select 'Compatibility' and choose 'Run This Program In Compatibility Mode for:

Windows XP (Service Pack 2)'

2 Select 'Apply', followed by 'OK'

Now try to load the game and it should load and run fine now. It works for me.

Hope this helps.
