Manual: How to Run Dark Messiah of Might & Magic on Windows 10 ENG

Hello everyone. In a purely random way, I somehow thought of it, and after many failures, but with a great desire, I managed to launch and play Dark Messiah on my Windows 10.
Below on the points you must do everything the same way !!! All actions are required !!!

1) Install the game in Steam

2) Next, after installation, you must go to the bin folder and from there copy the binkw32.dll file to the root folder of the game, that is, to the main Dark Messiah folder

3) After that click on the shortcut of the game and select "properties". In them we select the item "Compatibility" and you should have "Compatibility with Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

4) And at the very end, click on the game in Steam with the right mouse button, select "Set launch parameters", in the Launch parameters we enter this -dxlevel 81

After that, the game should work.

If anything, write here!

I hope I helped you!

1) If you get the following error:
Procedure entry point _BinkShouldSkip @ 4 was not found in DLL binkw32.dll.
There is a Bin folder in the game folder, from it copy binkw32.dll to the root folder (where the mm shortcut is).
It helped me with windows 7 64bit
2) I suppose all computers have at least dual-core when, after starting the game, call the "task manager" (ctrl + alt + del), then find the processes "mm.exe" in the tab (in short, the process that is responsible for the game) click on it with the right click on the mouse and select "set correspondence", then uncheck all processors (CPUs) except one, thereby you will make the game think that having lost one core). If it does not help, then try to find the process "steam.exe" and do the same, and then restart the game.

3) In addition to this, in the folder with the game (where the steam installed it, usually this is the steam folder - x: \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common), set the compatibility in the shortcut to either Windows 7 or Windows Vista. Next, run this shortcut as administrator.

4) You can also right-click on the game in the library in the incentive and select "properties -> local files -> check the integrity of the cache", this will enable the check for buggy files and replace them by re-downloading the damaged ones. At this moment, you need the included Internet.

5) Just reinstalling the game Over9000 times, it really helps some.
