Game won't open [Solved]
 

Hi. I have the full (CD) version of WinSPMBT. My PC recently HDD failed, so I did a clean reinstall of the OS. I just installed the game, and upgraded it to Version 12 (2018 Upgrade). The game options window opens. But when I try to open the game, I get the splash screen, followed by a CTD.

I've tried running in in compatibility for Windows 8, and also tried running as Administrator, to no avail.

I received two errors when trying to run the game fullscreen:
IpDD-> SetDisplayMode failed, code 80004001
Direct Draw could not be initialized Error Code 80004001

Here are my specs:

Win 10 Pro (version 1803)
Intel i7 6700K @ 3.4 GHz
16 GB RAM
Seagate Hybrid Firecuda 2 TB
NVidia GTX 750 Ti (391.35 Driver)

I solved the problem.

I forgot to install the consolidation patch (10b) before installing the version 12 update. After uninstalling, reinstalling and patching in the correct order, everything works great.
