Battlezone 1

Hi, looked here in the forums for some Help to get Red Odyssey running under Windows 7 x64. The 1.5 patch for Battlezone works great but the RO version from the installer won´t start. Would appreciate your help/tips since The Red Odyssey was a gaming experience for it´s own (I played Battlezone so often trough and the RO missiosn are more challenging) .

Cheers Helo.

Ok, deleted the d3d command in the RO shortcut and it runs, however with strange colours and only in 640x480. Anyway to fix this under win7 x64 ?

Latest patch for BZ is 1.4, for RO 1.3. BZ98 installer has the latest patches and updates. Upcoming 1.5 patch is for BZ only, RO won't be receiving any new updates.

If you have ATI card, you won't be able to play BZ or RO MP, only SP by loading missions directly (use Config Utility for BZ, for RO you have to make shortcuts manually). If you have Nvidia, everything should work fine if you set resolution to 800x600 or higher.

WinXP compatibility is needed if you have more than 3GB of RAM.

You can aslo play in software mode or window mode, but SW mode will have graphic issues and win mode will be laggy. D3D is hardware mode. No need for editing HW shortcut when you have SW shortcut under Troubleshooting.

strange colours with d3d off i suppose?

Yep, looks pretty weird, especially the chinese missions.
