Overview
How to run Darkeden on Windows 10, and possibly 8.1(untested). I should mention my roomate was able to run Darkeden on Windows 10 with a GTX 750 ti without messing with any settings so this may be excusively an AMD problem. I was also able to run Darkeden on Windows Vista long as the native resolution didn’t exceed the in-game resolution.
Steps 1 through 3
1rst Step: Navigate to your Darkeden Folder, which unless your steam folder is someplace else it should be in the Local Disk(C:)->Program files(x86)->Steam->steamapps->common->Dark Eden
2nd Step: Right Click on “Darkeden.Exe” then left click on “properties”.
3rd Step: Left click on the compatibility tab, then check “Run this program in compatibility mode” then select “Windows 7”. Check “Reduced color 16 bit”, “Disable display scaling on high DPI settings”, and “Run this program as adminstrator”. Left click “apply” then “ok”.
Steps 4 through 5
4th step: Open radeon settings from your tray or right click on your desktop. Go to “Gaming”, if you don’t already have a Darkeden profile in this menu add one by selecting the “add” tab in the top right corner, find the Darkeden icon on your desktop then add it to your profile.
5th Step: Leave the settings EXACTLY as you see them in the screenshot, if your settings do not match then change them to match the options listed.
Now you should be able to run Darkeden without it crashing on Windows 10. Once you have it working you can try editing some of the settings to see what works with your PC and what doesn’t, but ideally you should leave the options exactly as I showed you.
