Blood II The Chosen
Supported on Windows 10
I am using the version of Blood 2 The Chosen from GOG.
The problem I had with Blood 2 The Chosen was that it would error out each time I tried to play the game on Windows 10. The error would say "ERROR - Unable to set the video mode. (6929314)".
There were several issues with Blood 2 The Chosen on Windows 10. After torubleshooting with DDrawCompat
I found out that it would fail when using 16bit color mode. So I had to update the code so that it would automatically fail over to 32bit mode if 16bit mode failed. See check in here.
Next I found out it would crash when using too high of resolution so added DxWnd
to limit the resolution to 1280x960.
Finally blood2.exe
would crash when clicking the "Display..." button so I had to use the winmm.dll stub to load dxwrapper.dll.
